Elvis Costello and his back-up band, the Attractions, are at it again with their latest album, Trust. If you can't say anything else about these guys, they sure are prolific. They put out a lot of albums and each contains a lot of tunes.
Trust is no different. There are 14 songs on this one. As usual, Costello's music defies labels. This collection runs the gamut (not only from rock ballads to straight rock and roll, but also from good to bad).
The album features some excellent guitar work from both Costello and Martin Belmont. Costello also introduces vocalist Glenn Tilbrook, whose voice is a refreshing change from that of Costello's.
My biggest complaint about Costello's work is that it is very repetitious. From album to album, there are a lot of songs that sound similar. But also, of all of Costello's albums. Trust is probably one of the best.
The most interesting tunes on the album are "Clubland," "From a Whisper to a Scream," "You'll Never Be a Man," and "Shot with His Own Gun."
