Armed Forces is a bit too polished for my liking. Some of the man's best singles are on it, but otherwise most of the album's too much of a blatant stab at a high chart position, which'd be fine if some of the songs weren't a bit weak (Big Boys, Busy Bodies, Moods For Moderns and so on). It's not that it's a terrible album, but it's kinda overshadowed by Get Happy and Trust. I used to love the album myself (it was the first Costello album I ever bought), but there are much better parts of his discography.
Best of luck hunting down the discography anyhow. If you have any trouble, just ask and I'll upload any albums you want - as far as I know, a few of them are pretty difficult to find, at least online.
