You Tripped At Every Step

Elvis Costello And The Attractions

John Robb

Being over 40 doesn't automatically make you crap — Iggy still kicks ass, Tom Waits is god and Neil Young still creaks his rocking bones in fine style. Costello, too, is still occasionally capable of packing a killer punch that sets him apart from the cosy, back-slapping old trouper scene that a smug old bastard like Byrne belongs to.

But this is a mawkish, dull ballad, so "brilliantly constructed" that it carefully manages to avoid a tune.

Basically, it's so-called "classic pop," music for CD owners who like to think that they "rock," pop for and by people long past their sell-by date.
