Comments for Costello, Elvis, When I Was Cruel

Brutal Youth is Costello''s reuinion with The Attractions and with producer Nick Lowe. In a way, it''s a return to the sloppy but tight melodic chaos of early Attractions, but the melodic and compositional sophistication Elvis displayed on The Juliet Letters can be found here too. Excellent album.

This is Costello`s latest album and is very good, In a slightly more vitriolic mood than Spike, or Mighty Like A Rose.
