MLAR is always top 5 for me, his voice is great on this album, and the bonus disc gave us the fantastic Just Another Mystery (don't you just love the way he sings "metronooooome". Don't forget the original album contains the following wonderful tracks All Grown Up, CCIU#4, So Like Candy, Hurry Down Doomsday, Invasion Hit Parade, and for me one of his greatest singles in The Other Side Of Summer.
Have I convinced you yet? Good! then get your vote in.

OH MY GOD! Where have I been that I didn't see this thread!
I love MLAR, but I know most people on the board have heard my case for KOA before.
There is such a variety of music on KOA, and despite in the liner notes where he said he didn't feel like the album came together and there were feelings of discontent among musicians, I love this album and I believe it has a lot of emotion and hurt invested in it.
When no other music works for me, I put in KOA. It's the Elvis I keep coming back to. Indoor Fireworks, American Without Tears, Suit of Lights, Brilliant Mistake - I never tire of it. It grounds me.
KOA for me.

I think KOA is Costello´s Top.
I can´t number the times I have listened to this great album.
Mighty like a rose is also great, but some songs are a bit weak ("Georgie", for example, or "Invasion Hit Parade", or "Hurry down Domsday"), and that thing they also say about an over-arranged album I´m afraid to say it´s a fair commentary in this case.

I have never heard about a better way to introduce yourself to an English girl -I mean, if you want to be funny and have a flirt with her- than "I´m the Sheriff of Nottingham and this is Little John").Copenhagen Fan wrote:This is a tough one....I'll go for MLAR just because I love Invasion HIt Parade and hate American without Tears.
At least, I tried it once... and it worked!
So the song isn´t that bad, in my opinion.
