Baby Plays Around, Last Train leaving, Any King’s Shilling…some great classic Costello lyrics and tunes. I love all his work yet this album is one that I listen to frequently, it always fresh!
A GREAT ALBUM!

I first discovered Elvis Costello when I heard the song "Veronica" on "Pop Up Video." And ever since I've been a Costello fan. The best tracks are "Veronica" and "Let Him Dangle" But give the other tracks a listen; they're very good and make great use of horns.

In elementary school, whenever I would walk by my principal, he would go "Veronicaaaaa" ( like in the song ) and say that there was a song about me. Of course I didn't believe him,not having been an Elvis Costello fan when I was little, but during the summer between fifth and sixth grades I looked up the song 'Veronica' on Itunes, previewed each result, and found this one. I was ecstatic that I could keep something of him while I left his school and went to middle school and many years later, I still have it. ;) <3

Spike is the best Elvis Costello album/ CD from the 90's. This is the end of a great progression from great earlier albums from the 80's--Trust/ Imperial Bedroom/ Punch the Clock--but is a bit more ambitious, tackling complex arrangements and styles. Not much like it until When I Was Cruel. Worth a listen--I've played it frequently for 20yrs and never tire of it.
I Wouldn't Have it Any Other Way :)

I can't believe there isn't a single review for this! lol Sooo yeah i looove Elvis Costello...and im 14! And a girl! My dad is a huge fan and introduced me 2 his music first. When i was like three, i used 2 dance around 2 "The Angels Wanna Wear My Red Shoes" from his abum, 'My Aim is True'. Now that im older, I've grown into liking his music even more. Elvis Costello is one of the most amazing lyrical and musical geniuses of the 20th centruy and beyond. Listening to the popular (and most-known) track "Veronica", which is a collaboration with Paul McCartney of the Beatles, might sell you on this album. The moving, "Last Boat Leaving" is thought-provoking and one of my favorites as well. I've told my friends who just don't get my love of this music that Elvis Costello is an "accquired taste" and I wouldn't have it any other way. Some might decide to buy only some tracks off this album, but I say buy the whole thing!!! Its worth it and you'll enjoy it! I did :)
