Try-hards. The Fartellis have quite obviously made every effort to make every song on this album a catchy, quirky, Britpop anthem. They succeed with "Chelsea Dagger", they get halfway with "Flathead", and everything else gets annoying and boring fast. As far as imitating Britpop goes, this is roughly akin to a fat man you've never seen before running up to you in the street and shouting 'PARKLOIF!' at you as loud as he can.

Another bunch of Post-Arctic Monkeys wannabes decide to ditch their jobs as plumbers and jump onto the Indie Rock bandwagon. There's the odd moment of greatness here, 'Chelsea Dagger' and 'Flathead' are both reasonably enojoyable Pop song but for the most part this album is nothing more then FM-friendly Indie Pop pap!

This album had no sas or no real grasp throughout, it was another pop/indie album trying to be catchy but not living upto what is expected

Why did it take me so long to understand this album? Absolute banger from start to finish. There are definitely tracks that are better than others but its all fun and catchy as hell

This album is quite amazing. I love how the Fratellis are able to produce catchy, commercial friendly rock music without compromising any of the actual ROCK. So many bands try to do something like this and end up with overly poppy radio rock. Brava to the Fratellis.

I discovered The Fratellis a few months ago when I saw their video for the song "Flathead". The song was undeniably catchy and prompted me to download their album "Costello Music". After listening to the whole record, I was quite disappointed. While there were a few songs that stuck out to me (Flathead, Henrietta, For the Girl, Chelsea Dagger sort of), many of the songs were very dull and got old fast. Overall, "Costello Music" is an album that can be rather fun and catchy at some points, but is weighed down mostly by bland pop songs.
