Costello Music CD Fallout Recordings, 1707193, 2006, 13 Track
Amazon.co.uk
There's nothing terribly complicated about the Fratellis' debut album, Costello Music, but that's by no means a criticism. Rather than inject their songs with complex chords, or steep their lyrics with their political and social agendas, this Glasgow trio have instead focussed on writing 13 songs that are pure, unabashed entertainment. And it's a pace--and an attitude--that doesn't let up, from the jumpy opening bars of "Henrietta" to the groupie-reminiscing of "Ole Black'n'Blue Eyes". In many ways, Costello Music sounds like a return to the hedonistic rush of early 1990's Britpop, with it's exhilarating guitar riffs and arrogant swagger--"Chelsea Dagger" somehow applies the attitude of early Oasis to the pop catchiness of Great Escape-era Blur. But the Fratellis also know their history: the ska-punk of "Cuntry Boys & City Girls" and "For the Girl" has the Fratellis sounding like the cheeky offspring of the Clash, or a less-irritating Madness. But all this analysis kind of misses the point of Costello Music: this is music for dancing, not for contemplation. It's loud, fast and in-your-face, exactly what you'd expect from three young men with guitars. --Ted Kord

A big claim I know, but one which the Fratellis might claim with some conviction. A serious contender to the "Whatever People Say I Am..." for that distinction, "Costello Music" is a magnificent surprise.Having greatly enjoyed the three singles so far, I must admit to approaching with some trepidation - but am happy to report that these three are by no means the only great tracks here, and not even the best. Naturally "Henrietta" would be a storming opening for any album, but the pace and energy is maintained through the first half. The exception - in terms of a change of pace - is the "ballad" (inverted commas as I'm not sure the Fratellis entirely "do" ballads), "Whistle for the Choir" - which although it demonstrates a definite naivety with slower songs, improves with repeated listening.For me, in contrast to the previous reviewer, the album peaks in the middle. "For The Girl" is a marvellous track, the best example of what the Fratellis do best - fast, hi-energy, jangly-guitar pop. This is immediately followed by the frankly sublime "Doginabag".Does the album lose momentum after "Creepin' Up The Backstairs"? Maybe a little, with the exception of "Everybody Knows..." - until the last track. "Ole Black `n' Blue Eyes" is arguably the best offering here, and revisits Chelsea (who herself gets a nod in the sleeve notes). It's a little off-beat, and absolutely the perfect finale.Influences? Too many to count - you could name Oasis, The Libertines (who couldn't?), but also many others, riffs borrowed from acts as diverse as The Beatles and Aztec Camera (really). But there was one that was driving me nuts, more than any other, and then I got it: if you're a fan of The Kinks - both early and late - you'll find much to love here. "Ole Black n Blue Eyes" put me so much in mind of "Autumn Almanac" it was uncanny.The one minor disappointment was the absence of "Stacie-Anne" from the first EP. But you can get that on your own, right?In summary, you can appreciate "Costello Music" as simply a great guitar-pop work. But in a sense that would be to devalue The Fratellis as one of a crowd, where in fact they are offering something quite different from anything else out there today - and for that reason one of the Most Important bands around. Oh yes.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Fab Album to Have
Just fabulous fantastic I truly recommend this album it's tops with meBest buy of the yearPlease Don't class me as a " Simon Cowell " ha haBut I do like this album a lot the music is very catchy... with it and not loud popmore middle of the road some thing to enjoy any time of dayOut of the 3 albums that I do have at the moment this one is my favouriteha ha ok so this one has 3 young lady's on the cover...nice...I leave you to buy this fab album and to pick out your own favourite tracks...Witch you will find very hard , as they are all so fantastic the lyrics are so catchyand so well mixed to the musicBeing a new band or group to me.. playing some fab music I hope and lookforward to hearing this music played live in concert ... soonIt tops Five Gold Stars from me for the fantastic music & for the 3 young lady's...so here's hoping you get the chance to buy and enjoy this fantastic music soonfromSATANP.S You be mad to miss out on not buying this album
5.0 out of 5 stars Good upbeat rocking music, a great vinyl album.
These guys must be great live...that's how I would describe the music.Its upbeat guitar based, of course, and has some very memorable tracks that will become classics to be chanted back from the pit when live. And the pit will be jumping.....But it's not soft, its feel good but its rock. Yes I know they are 'Indie' but these boys style origins come more from the gods of guitar wielding stompin rockin 70's glam rockers than the likes of Coldplay. They are not Coldplay! And that is a good thing. And to me the lead singer pumps it out a bit like David Bowie did in his Ziggy Stardust rocky 70's incarnation. These guys could cover Ziggy and it would sound great. Also reminds me of the Arctic Monkeys, snappy almost cheeky vocals, solid guitars with attitude.A good vinyl purchase? - undoubtedly YES. Every track is great and they fit well together so you never find yourself wishing you had a skip button. The sleeve design is good quality inner and outer and the vinyl is heavy.Listen to it, tap your feet, pogo, smile, whatever, and listen again with a bigger smile....a great album, for me, money well spent.
4.0 out of 5 stars Has It Made Me A Fan?
First CD I got of the Fratellis and I like quite a few of the tracks, though not all of them. Has it made me a raving fan? No, it's okay though, what I did like was the cover art, and I just may get another different album in the future.
5.0 out of 5 stars Costello Music Review
I did buy this album based of a small number of the track I had heard and liked a lot!Since playing the whole album for the first time, I now like all of tracks. It's pretty rare for me to like all of the tracks on a album, but this is definitely one of those albums.The music is uplifting and gets me through my working day.A good buy for such a low price and a very fast delivery.
5.0 out of 5 stars Timely Arrival
This is a present so I haven't heard it but as it was a request I'm sure it will be well received.
5.0 out of 5 stars make sure you can access
The music is fantastic and I would highly recommend this album but I only know this from past experience of the album as I can't access it on my phone. I have a windows phone and there is not an app available to let me access it 😒
3.0 out of 5 stars Solid Effort
Bit of mixed bag really. Great in places but a bit hit 'n' miss. Still a good solid album though if not spectacular.

Frage mich, warum ich die Band noch nie bemerkt habe
Ich bin durch Zufall auf die Band gestoßen. Im Grunde war mir das Riff von Chelsea Dagger schon irgendwie im Ohr, aber weder kannte ich den Namen des Titels noch der Band. Wie ich auf YT gelesen habe - das bekannteste unbekannte Lied der Welt. Passt! Aber nachdem ich den Titel durch Zufall mitbekommen und dann auch auf YT gefunden habe, habe ich weitere Lieder von der Band gesucht und was soll ich sagen - einfach genial Mucke. Geht tierisch ab und verdammt witzig und melodiös dazu. Musste sofort die CD bestellen und das ist eine der ganz wenigen CDs, bei denen ich wirklich alle Lieder gut finde. Klar gibt es Highlights wie eben Chelsea Dagger, aber auch der Rest steht dem wenig nach. Gerade überlege ich, welche der neueren CDs ich mir noch anschaffe. Die Band liefert bis heute immer noch genialen Stuff ab. Es ist unglaublich, dass ich die bisher nicht einmal wirklich bemerkt hatte ...
