 What a Cool Record, November 9, 2008
|
|
|
I'm not an Elvis fan who loves everything he does. Once again, however, he's collaborated with the right people and come up with something that's as excellent as anything he's ever produced. The songs and the performances are great. If you still have a turntable, or if you've just bought one (it happens), I highly recommend the vinyl version. You'll enjoy the high-quality fidelity and the ineffable feel of capturing this music in the right medium. If you're completely unfamiliar with Elvis Costello's music, I would recommend this record anyway. It's modern and classic at the same time; it's just a great record.

 I Love Elvis But..., September 22, 2008

...I found this to be rather a boring album, as though he phoned it in. Or, as the title suggests, he simply added water to his noodles. Before you dismiss this review, let me state that I am a HUGE Elvis Costello fan and have been, all through his ups and downs. I even enjoyed "Goodbye Cruel World". And I appreciated, if I didn't really care for, "The Juliet Letters" (which, I know, isn't purely a Costello album). But I expect more from Costello. As far as these songs go, they are rather disposable.

An ok album but not a classic Elvis Costello, September 15, 2008

I read other reviews and have to question all the 5 star ratings. A rating system is to give comparison between albums. If everyone rates MOMOFUKU a 5 star they are essentially saying this album is a classic and as good as it gets. This is where I disagree I felt this album was so-so with a couple of great songs mixed in with a few not so good. I see reviews that compare the album to Blood and Choclate which deserves a 5 star rating, MOMOFUKU is no Blood and Choclate. This is a good album and true fans will enjoy it but to say that it is a throw back to classic Elvis is not accurate. It is unlikely EC will ever make another album that compares to his earlier stuff, he is growing as an artist and deserves to try different avenues.

I don't know how it's happening, but this album gets better every week. This is good music.

always a treat when elvis gets the rock quartet thing going again...not the best...and i miss the attractions (bruce thomas) but it's better than 90% of the rock music out there.
