Review title: A Pop/Rock/New Wave tour de force (4.5 stars)
Product review: While dismissed as Costello-Lite by some, this is arguably EC's masterpiece. While retaining the feistiness of his first two albums, Armed Forces showcases Costello's evolving prowess in crafting really good pop(ular) songs. 'Oliver's Army' and 'What's So Funny...?' shine here, but there are another half dozen or so excellent cuts.The Armed Forces bonus disc is likely the best in the Rhino reissue series. Alternative versions of 'Busy Bodies', 'Accidents...' and 'Goon Squad' are interesting. 'Stranger in the House' and scorching, live performances of 'Lipstick Vogue' and 'Mystery Dance' are classics.Excellent value here at $14.99.
