In a better world, of course, things would be different. There would be a sense of communal espirit de corps, a ban on empty gestures, psychochic and smug voyeurism, the stress factor would be nullified, and the Imperial Bedroom album would be number one throughout the charts of the Western World. But reality in its habitually turgid manner dictates otherwise, and as morale flounders so do sales of Elvis Costello's latest masterpiece, highlighting once again this most perplexing of phenomena: the fact that however stunning each successive Costello creation has proven itself to be as an aesthetic coup (discounting Almost Blue), the general public simply doesn't want to know.
