Jacket Strong VG+/++, One Light Crease Line At Top Right Corner Area. “This Is One Of The Best Examples Of What A Great Pop/Rock Album Can And Should Be. Angry, Edgy, Provocative, Political And Inspired, The Album Has A Drive And Intensity That Keeps You Listening And In Interested, Not Just On The First Listening, But For Years. Costello's' Ear For Hooks Keep You Humming These Tunes For Days. His Pop Sensibility And Masterful Understanding Of Early 1960s Popular Music Come To Bear Over And Over Again. If There's Any Criticism One Can Lay Here, It's That The Lyrics Don't Always Make Sense. Fans Have Argued About The Meaning Of Costello's Early Songs For Years. Somehow, It Doesn't Matter, Because Costello's Attitude Communicates The Emotional Intent Of Each Song, Even If He Can't Quite Find The Words. Nevertheless, The Rhymes And Metaphors Are Often Masterful. Armed Forces Stands Out As One Of The Best Pop Albums Of All Time.” AMG Review By Jeremy Feldman.
