Elvis Costello & The Attractions – This Year’s Model
  1. "No Action" – 1:58
  2. "This Year's Girl" – 3:17
  3. "The Beat" – 3:45
  4. "Pump It Up" – 3:14
  5. "Little Triggers" – 2:40
  6. "You Belong to Me" – 2:22
  7. "Hand in Hand" – 2:33
  8. "(I Don't Want to Go to) Chelsea" – 3:07

  11. "Lipstick Vogue" – 3:29

  • Tracklisting notes: The UK issue did not have "Radio Radio," which was released there as a single backed with "Tiny Steps" in October 1978. The original US issue, which shipped two months later, dropped "(I Don't Want to Go to) Chelsea" and "Night Rally" (reportedly as being "too English') and added the single "Radio Radio" at the end of side 2.

  2. "Big Tears" – 3:09

  4. "Running Out of Angels" – 2:02
  5. "Green Shirt" – 2:20
  6. "Big Boys" – 3:00
  • Tracklisting notes: The Rykodisc reissue placed "Radio Radio" after a 10-second silence following "Night Rally."
Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Where My Aim Is True implied punk rock with its lyrics and stripped-down production, This Year's Model sounds like punk. Not that Elvis Costello's songwriting has changed -- This Year's Model is comprised largely of leftovers from My Aim Is True and songs written on the road. It's the music that changed. After releasing My Aim Is True, Costello assembled a backing band called the Attractions, which were considerably tougher and wilder than Clover, who played on his debut. The Attractions were a rock & roll band, which gives This Year's Model a reckless, careening feel. It's nervous, amphetamine-fueled, nearly paranoid music -- the group sounds like they're spinning out of control as soon as they crash in on the brief opener, "No Action," and they never get completely back on track, even on the slower numbers. Costello and the Attractions speed through This Year's Model at a blinding pace, which gives his songs -- which were already meaner than the set on My Aim Is True -- a nastier edge. "Lipstick Vogue," "Pump It Up," and "(I Don't Want to Go To) Chelsea" are all underscored with sexual menace, while "Night Rally" touches on a bizarre fascination with fascism that would blossom on his next album, Armed Forces. Even the songs that sound relatively lighthearted -- "Hand in Hand," "Little Triggers," "Lip Service," "Living in Paradise" -- are all edgy, thanks to Costello's breathless vocals, Steve Nieve's carnival-esque organ riffs, and Nick Lowe's bare-bones production. Of course, the songs on This Year's Model are typically catchy and help the vicious sentiments sink into your skin, but the most remarkable thing about the album is the sound -- Costello and the Attractions never rocked this hard, or this vengefully, ever again. [The 1993 CD reissue standardized the sequencing of This Year's Model on both sides of the Atlantic, restoring the album to its original British running order and adding six bonus tracks. The first three tracks are singles and B-sides, including the classic rant "Radio, Radio," the organ-driven '60s pop of "Big Tears," and the frenetic "Crawling to the USA." The remaining three tracks -- "Running Out of Angels," "Greenshirt," and "Big Boys" -- are all demos.]

Speaking of getting old do you recall Elvis' SNL performance where they did Radio Radio much to the chagrin of the suits? They started into one song and then Elvis pulled the plug on that and slammed into a vengeful Radio Radio. Not the smartest thing to do if you want airplay

Elvis was having sever PR issues early on... wasn't he decked by Bonnie Bramlett after making an insulting racist comment about Ray Charles? It took a good long while for the U.S. to warm to Elvis...
