''Spike'' boggled me at first, now I've come to like it a ton. There's perhaps too much of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band here, and maybe even too many instruments (like a book may have too many words). This makes things sound too concerted ("Deep Dark Truthful Mirror") while the simple stuff ("Baby Plays Around," "Any King's Shilling," and "Last Boat Leaving") sound so great. | ''Spike'' boggled me at first, now I've come to like it a ton.

Obvious single is "Veronica," the Wurlitzer dream pop song co-writ w/ Paul McCartney (I hope this is the single. I heard it on the radio ere ''Spike'' came out), but I melt at the slow, deliberate and (politically) biting songs (the 3 simpleton tunes above, "Tramp The Dirt Down" and "God's Comic"); Elvis C's talent for wordplay is, well, playful (unless you happen to happen to be Maggie Thatcher). | Obvious single is "Veronica," the Wurlitzer dream pop song co-writ w/ Paul McCartney (I hope this is the single.
