Actually, no. I love Elvis Costello, but in my opinion, he has released some mediocre albums throughout his career. What I was looking for was someone who liked the first album, and had heard the new album. My concern was that the new one would not be as strong as the debut. And Mike Bennett's reply pretty much gave me the information I was looking for. What I really trying to avoid was indirectly starting a thread of FF bashing. Nothing more, nothing less. Mark.
