'Cause I do. Much more "return to form" than "When I Was Cruel" was, with songs could have been on "This Year's Model" or "Imperial Bedroom".

yeah, it's ok. a couple of terrific tracks and some good ones. it definitely sounds better than some of his recent releases: less 'produced', less hammering of the compression.

So, this is basically "The Attractions" without Bruce, right?

Yes. They were all in California together working on Jenny Lewis' next effort.

it's okay. probably better than when i was cruel on the whole, definitely better than the delivery man, which was really boring. the record-it-fast approach worked well for him this time. it's still not quite as good as Brutal Youth or Blood and Chocolate but it's the first Costello album I've liked in a long time
