8 out of 10 from Popmatters. Isn't it great to read all these reviews? :-) http://www.popmatters.com/review/elvis-costello-and-the-roots-wise-up-ghost/ By Colin McGuire 16 September 2013 PopMatters Music Reviews Editor All you really need to know about Wise Up Ghost, the genius collaborative effort ...

If you liked the first two albums, I am sure you'd like this one, too.
The guys have returned to the tighter, more guitar-driven sound and they seem to be having a lot fun again. The songs are sharp, damn catchy and burst with pop hooks.
Give it a try, you will not regret it.

What a jerk!

I am loving the new album. Funky, moody, it’s got infectious grooves, pulsating bass lines, and plenty of little touches – horns, piano and guitar riffs, tinkles - that make the musical side of the album so much fun. And I love Elvis’ voice – restrained, but at the same time emotional : at one time ...

Dedicated Follower Of Fashion - The Kinks

Reading all the opinions I feel like I am missing something but I have never quite grown to like this album.
Most of the songs just never did it for me and I found the whole vibe too rootsy-bluesy-southern Americana for my taste.
Well, maybe I should give it another listen.

I second that. Beautiful song.

True Faith - New Order

I am amazed that Real Madrid let Ozil leave the club. He's a fantastic signing for Arsenal - a world-class playmaker who can play killer passes and provides plenty of assists for strikers. Not so much convinced by Moyes moves. Fellaini is not a consistent player, and I wonder how Moyes will (or alre...

Love Vigilantes - New Order

Richard Schickel - Conversations with Scorsese

Your Latest Trick - Dire Straits

Can't wait to see this one.
Reviews from Venice are more than enthusiastic.

Great post, Kevin.
I'm among those who like the album, though upon first listen it left me baffled and disappointed.
Plenty of good songs there. I'd probably even say that 45, Episode Of Blonde and My Little Blue Window are among the best songs Elvis has written in the last 15 years.

One of the songs from the new Prefab Sprout album I wrote about three weeks ago.
Excellent.

Good songs as, imho, they are, I doubt if he'll ever find time to record Gwendolyn Letters properly with a band.
All in all, that's what I miss from Elvis - a dozen or so deceptively simple pop songs written over a weekend or two.

Would probably be in my Top 10.
Elvis’ voice does strain at times, but I loved most of the songs from day one and thought they were just great pop songs.
I wish I had seen Elvis do the songs live.
Excellent job again, Connor!

OK, let's get King of America and Blood & Chocolate to the top of 1986 list.

A few weeks ago, surfing the internet I came across a mysterious album from Prefab Sprout tentatively called The Devil Came A-Calling . I saw on many blogs that it excited fans all around the internet, but nobody was quite sure whether the songs were just unknown old recordings from the vaults, or a...

I'm in.
