He's not blown it yet and he's not showing any sign. The only risk he runs is of letting his ear for the telling line run away with him. But that reckons without his ability to vary the attack without ransacking the armoury and the wristy versatility of The Attractions, not to mention producer Nick Lowe's faultless taste. If you want the flavour of Trust, try blending This Year's Model with Armed Forces. Better still, buy it. This one makes five indispensable L.P.s. Now really, what else did you honestly expect?
