Get Happy

Elvis Costello

Red Starr

The strangest of his albums yet, partly because of the sheer volume — around 50 minutes of 20 short, spartan tracks — and partly because of the odd 60's soul feel that doesn't always do his melodies full justice. Short on truly memorable songs but plenty of passion and repeated plays reveal hidden depths. Interesting. Best tracks: "Love For Tender," "Opportunity".

(7 out of 10).
