Title: 2 fab tracks accompanied by 10 non-tunes
Review: The 2 fab tracks are THE SWEETEST PUNCH and TOLEDO. The rest is utter crap. And it's Bacharach's fault since he's the only one with any talent anyway. Costello continues to wring his precious song-lyric metaphors for all they're worth. Check out the ultra-emetic MY THIEF (or better yet, don't) with its precious girl-singer mewling about a "perfect alibi". It made me wanna fwow up all over Elvis's collection of cutesy-poo hats.
Is the review positive or negative?
