Full review
After the acerbic state of the nation address of Pills And Soap (credited to The Imposter), the masterpiece single from 1983, Punch The Clock, the Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley produced album which followed in July, was another major disappointment for Elvis Costello. Every Day I Write The Book, a Top Thirty single, was one of Costello’s most cultured songs but was the only genuine highlight on a very dim collection. In the usual ironic way fo things, the same public that had overlooked Trust flocked to the stores for Punch The Clock - perhaps because of the massive publicity that the new album was afforded. With Punch The Clock, it seemed that Costello had stopped fighting for the moment; by the end of 1983, it appeared that Elvis Costello’s aim was truce.
