| 5.0 classic | morrissey EMERITUS | June 24th 06 |
Best debut album ever recorded? Quite possibly. It is energetic yet digestible, diverse yet coordinated, and intelligent but exoteric. The album sets the bar high and refuses to lower it from beginning to end. He is witty and sardonic, but the best song is not ferociously biting but rather the beautiful and mellow "Alison".

Classic old-school rock, and a not-too-shabby debut either. If this album is anything to go by, chock Elvis Costello up on my big board of artists whose discographies I need to get to know better. 3.4/5

Music is real good, but I just can't stand his voice.

It's worth owning just for "Alison". Honestly, "Alison" is one of the most perfect songs of all time - a soulful tale of love that could actually be about a murder, I could listen to it for hours on end. Luckily the rest is pretty damn good, too. Punky yet melodic, with further excursion into reggae and pop, Costello found himself at the forefront at the new wave after the release of this album. Although the centerpeice is a diamond of the highest rarity, every song surrounding it - particularly "Welcome To The Working Week", "Miracle Man", and "The Angels Wanna Wear My Red Shoes" - is a little gem.
