Title: We can never be sure.
Review: While we can never quite be sure what, exactly (if anything), "Less Than Zero" means, we know that it's a great song. Like every other song on the album, "Less Than Zero" flows over nicely rounded hills that Declan McManus (Elvis Costello's birth name) had landscaped while working in a factory. The bonus disc contains some interesting things (for true fans).Elvis Costello, of all people, seemed to know how to write about heartache, and in his earliest works, it's none more apparent than in Alison. The girl he wanted seemed to have wandered off to marry someone else after ignoring Elvis's attempts at courting her, never noticing that his aim was true.Overall, this is a classic album and any true music fan should have at least an original copy; any true Elvis Costello fan should have the reissue.
Is the review positive or negative?
