The Album - Mantronix Blood & Chocolate Elvis Costello & The Attractions Melody Maker More songs about fucking and fighting, a furious animal of a record: nightmarish, brawling, remorseless in its descriptions of love and loathing. Nick Lowe's production makes The Attractions sound like something murderous in the basement and Costello, appropriately cast as Napoleon Dynamite, is on a short fuse throughout. Costello's best in years. King Of America The Costello Show Melody Maker Transcription needed...
