Probably the most clever album I own; only to be followed by Elvis's "Armed Forces" and "Imperial Bedroom".  Elvis and the attractions are more of a force on these 30 tracks than on any of his others.  I bought this album before I really could appreciate the art of word crafting.  It took reading many acclaimed novels, and sampling other hailed lyricists (Bono, Eminem, Springsteen, Dylan, etc..) to make my decision on who  the lyrical King was; most properly the title goes to Elvis. In my opinion Elvis wrote the book on word play, and combined with the perfectly crafted accompaniment (provided by the attractions) we have 30 "stick it to 'em" bold and brazen classic songs.
