Elvis Costello & The Attractions: Punch the Clock

20 dec 13

Costello has never completely convinced me. That said, he is often an excellent craftsman when it comes to the "ultimate pop song." I know his discography, and I find this album to be the only truly convincing one, despite being mysteriously the most underrated. It contains a series of original, personal, and striking gems: "Let Them All Talk," "Everyday I Write The Book," "Pills and Soap," and his masterpiece "Shipbuilding."

de gustibus non sputazzandum...but...but, to define this as his most convincing album could spark a debate. It is certainly his most soul-oriented record, with elastic and infectious grooves and cascading horns as if Al Green had chosen post-punk London to spread his Word. What is certain is that an album containing Shipbuilding should nonetheless be preserved on the shelf of the soul.
