Elvis Costello and the Attractions
– This Year’s Model
This Year’s Model is a furious, razor-sharp statement of intent, solidifying Elvis Costello’s place as one of the most electrifying songwriters of his era. The album takes the raw energy of punk and fuses it with a biting lyrical wit and a tightly wound, relentless sound courtesy of the newly assembled Attractions.
