Title: Great 1980 album, inspired by Costello but so what?
Review: I have been searching for a digital version of this album ever since giving up my LP player 10 years ago. Say what you will about it being too derivative of Elvis Costello and the Attractions--what EVER!--I remember this being fantastic music, which I listened to nonstop during the 1980-81 school year (I was a freshman in college). The first song in particular, "Shorting Out," persists in my memory down to the last note for its strong bluesy beat, confident vocal and nice development throughout the song. Would love to hear it again and will either revise this review or write a fresh one when I finally get my hot little hands on a CD of this one-hit-wonder album.
Is the review positive or negative?
