Editorial Review:
From Amazon.co.uk:
There's nothing terribly complicated about the Fratellis' debut album, Costello Music, but that's by no means a criticism. Rather than inject their songs with complex chords, or steep their lyrics with their political and social agendas, this Glasgow trio have instead focussed on writing 13 songs that are pure, unabashed entertainment. And it's a pace--and an attitude--that doesn't let up, from the jumpy opening bars of "Henrietta" to the groupie-reminiscing of "Ole Black'n'Blue Eyes". In many ways, Costello Music sounds like a return to the hedonistic rush of early 1990s Britpop, with its exhilarating guitar riffs and arrogant swagger--"Chelsea Dagger" somehow applies the attitude of early Oasis to the pop catchiness of Great Escape-era Blur. But the Fratellis also know their history: the ska-punk of "Cuntry Boys & City Girls" and "For the Girl" has the Fratellis sounding like the cheeky offspring of the Clash, or a less-irritating Madness. But all this analysis kind of misses the point of Costello Music: this is music for dancing, not for contemplation. It's loud, fast and in-your-face, exactly what you'd expect from three young men with guitars. --Ted Kord

I like several songs on this CD--some are a bit "wild" or "overdone" for my taste. It took over a year since I first heard "Whistle For the Choir" before I was able to find it.

Awesome album! Loud, fun and fast - makes you want to get up and go! No fillers - every song is a winner. Flavors of The Kinks, T-Rex, Elton John, The Clash and Stray Cats. John Lennon sounding lead vocals and Beatles-ish harmony. Buy it!!

I had never heard this CD before purchasing it, it was reccomended to me by Amazon because I had recently picked up a couple of Libertine CDs. I have to say that this is a GREAT CD and I am glad Amazon reccomended it to me. It is a lot of fun, they have their style but they are sure to keep it interesting throughout the whole CD. I will be picking up their other CDs soon!

This power pop trio nail dead-on the cheekiness of early Clash with the bounciness of The Kinks and rely on the party atmosphere of British Insvaion bands. If you like it you may also enjoy the following selection.
The Interpreters - Back in the U.S.S.A.
Sadly, lack of proper marketing doomed this band from the beginning, and this group is now broken up, but they left behind one excellent album, availiable on Amazon for damn near free... get it before you can't find it anymore.

This is a very fun album. If your interested in poppy rock then this is a good one to pick up.
