 Rating:  - Woo HooI try and give time to everything this man releases, but I haven't repeat played any of his albums since All This Useless Beauty. That's not to say there aren't good moments on The Delivery Man, When I Was Cruel, Brutal Youth, River In Reverse etc but I found them a little difficult to get through. This is a looser album than any of those, with a wider variety (its almost like the days of Imperial Bedroom when you didn't know what style of song would be coming next). Sonically its reminiscent of Blood & Chocolate with a few echoes of the new wave days. The songs are great. American Gangster time has a superb chorus. Turpentine has so many hooks you end up dazzled. Flutter & Wow, Go Away, Song With Eve and Harry ... Read More: Rating: - Costello at his best !Wow!! Whether you like Costello fast, slow, thoughtful or pure punk there is something on here for everyone. No Hiding Place has a feel of Trust to it while Pardon Me, Madam, My name is Eve has echos of Useless Beauty. Drum and Bone is the favourite to turn up the volume and put the throttle down to. Flutter and Wow is one for the girlies, it is stunning. Listen and melt ! Stella Hurt comes with lots of distortion and demands the bass hyped up. And as ever there is a track for which we humbley thank you for raising awarness of the cause, this one is Mr. Feathers. If this doesn't make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end then you aint human. It isn't easy to listen to but it isn't meant to be. Every parent in the world will ... Read More: Rating: - No Hiding Place From This Superb AlbumRecorded in a week and originally released on vinyl only, 'Momofuku' (named after the inventor of instant cup noodles) is a very pleasant surprise from Costello who had recently, in interview, said that he had no plans to release any new material for a while. There is no cause to believe that Elvis was bluffing at the time because this whole album happened organically when he turned up to provide vocals for a Jenny Lewis album and, having the Imposters there (who were also working with Lewis) the personnel and location led to Elvis being inspired to write and record a new album right there and then. The immediacy and energy which sparked and influenced the recording of 'Momofuku' has culminated in Elvis & The Imposters releasing a truly brilliant ... Read More: Rating:  - Good but not greatLike so many others, I am a huge EC fan who has found it difficult to swallow some of his meanderings, but this new one again is good but not great. I disagree with the reviewer who says "My three sons" about his - ahem - three sons - is not cringy. I think it is. I bless the day you came into this world or words to that effect - corny yuk. And shouting "To the bridge" in the middle of the song is inexcusable. James Brown he is not. Some of the lyrics sound contrived, as his lyrics often do. Sometimes he gets away with it, sometimes he doesn't. Some good stuff here, some filler, I quite like it, hence 3 stars. Maybe it'll grow on me as other albums of his have, like "Imperial Bedroom" or "Blood and chocolate" but it's not an immediate grabber like, ... Read More: Rating: - Wow!! This album is goodI have listened to Costello's music for what seems like for ever and have enjoyed the varied styles of music that he has recorded. His different interests in a variety of music have been like a journey - a musical education for his fans. I have enjoyed them all, save for 'For the Stars', although even that had some intersting stuff on it. Despite enjoying all the diverse style's of music then, it's his rock/pop records that hold my real attention. Therefore when I heard Momofuku for the first time, I was chuffed to say the least. Momofuku has great songs, great lyrics, a great band and a great sound. On first listening it reminded me of Blood and Chocolate, but on repeated listenings as the songs come into there own I have realised that ... Read More: |
