I was (am) a huge Costello fan. He had come off four incredible albums at this point so I expecting something innovative. What I got was what I thought was basically a collection of rather average songs with a couple exceptions (Clubland, From a Whisper To a Scream). Frankly, I think Taking Liberties (his collection of B-sides mostly) was much better. Anyway, he made up for it with the following five albums (Imperial Bedroom to Blood and Chocolate and the three in-between)
EDIT: Note, I omitted Almost Blue. I don't really put it that in the class of his other albums simply because I'm not really that much into country. Have a lot of respect for what he was trying to do though. |

Steven Wilson - To the Bone
Steven Wilson - The Future Bites The former of these was a real letdown after the brilliance of Hand. Cannot. Erase. I eventually decided there was still enough good material there to make it worth having. The Future Bites was an even bigger disappointment and I am not sure I wish to own that one. It's not the fact that he has gone so far in the direction of pop that I mind, rather the fact that it's dull pop. I am waiting with a certain amount of trepidation to hear what the upcoming album from the reformed Porcupine Tree will be like. |

McCartney III was a disappointment.
Paul is my favourite Beatle and one of my all-time life/music inspirations. When I've heard he's recording again on his own, like he did McCartney I and II, and most of RAM, I was supper happy and hyped up. Then the album came out, and I liked most of the songs, but I just found them quite forgettable. Or maybe rather not-so-exciting. I guess the album just didn't live up to the hype they made around it |
