agreed. My Aim Is True is great but in a completely different place sonically to Trust and Imperial Bedroom. I like Get Happy! but always found it a bit diluted

Diluted as in too many songs (played too fast)? That's the most common criticism of the album, and it makes sense, but that's why I love it.

I love the general insanity and on-the-brink tensions of Get Happy!, Trust, and Imperial Bedroom. They're dark, paranoid, creepy, and completely appropriate. No one writes songs about adultery as well as Costello.
