"History repeats the old conceits, the glib replies, the same defeats" may possibly be one of the best couplets to start an album ever. Having previously released a country music album "Almost Blue", Costello went back to the album before, "Trust", and developed some of the ideas he had experimented with and produced, for me, his best album. And that is saying something, for Mr Costello has produced some of the finest music of the last 35 years. Jam-packed with classic songs, his lyrical dexterity is plainly in evidence here but The Attractions had never been, and never were, better.
