This album represents something more than the most successful pop music Elvis Costello has made since ''Armed Forces''; it's the first album by any of the original British new wavers to fully reckon with recording technology in a pop song context. Though claims are now being made for Costello as a great pop writer in the tradition of Cole Porter and Noel Coward, such comparisons both underestimate and miss the point of this record's achievement. The proper antecedents of ''Imperial Bedroom'' are ''Abbey Road'' and ''Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'', recordings in which the craft of composition is inseparable from the craft with which they are recorded, so much so that it is difficult to say where one process begins and the other leaves off. | This album represents something more than the most successful pop music Elvis Costello has made since ''Armed Forces''; it's the first album by any of the original British new wavers to fully reckon with recording technology in a pop song context.
