Squeezing Out Sparks

As others have said, sounds a bit like Elvis Costello, with a perhaps less divisive voice (though I don't mind Costello's voice). Anyway, this was enjoyable; a solid high three.

Favourite songs: Protection, Local Girls, Nobody Hurts You, Saturday Nite is Dead, Don't Get Excited, Passion is No Ordinary Word

Least favourite songs: You Can't Be Too Strong

4/5

Yllättävän hyvä new wave-levy. tai yllättävän paljon tykkäsin itse, en ole varma objektiivisesta laadusta.

I liked this. Felt like early Elvis Costello and we all know we need more music like that on the list.

Oh, so this is what Costello was going for? Well, Graham Parker wins that race, for sure.

yea whatever. but cool to know that there were session players on London Calling. Its like a less talented Elvis Costello.

This one really surprised me. This is everything I had wanted Elvis Costello to be over the (seemingly) countless albums on the original list. This was fun, catchy and engaging. 4.5/5

Slightly less annoying Elvis Costello.

Fun punk rock influenced new wave. Just some good tunes. Nothing fancy but it does what it set out to do.

This should have replaced one of the numerous Elvis Costello albums on the original list.

Fucking outrageous, it's like he's doing an Elvis Costello impression for some reason. On the one hand, I guess mission accomplished from the original project that I can pick up on that now. On the other hand, all of Costello's six albums on there sounded identical to each other. The People wanted more of that in the feed?

Big elvis Costello vibes on this one, this is more like his better albums so I’d happy replace one of his poorer efforts on the list for this.

Enjoyable and interesting, but without a stand out track that I loved. A really good album, but from a time, place and style with plenty of representation in the book already.
A pleasure to have heard, and an artist I look forward to exploring more (after this list)

Solid.
