This Year’s Model, Elvis Costello‘s second album, is the first record of his on which he was backed by The Attractions. However, curiously, it wouldn’t be until 1979′s Armed Forces that The Attractions would have their name on the front of the LP. Though this was just the beginning of a long partnership-one that might not have been cemented just yet-The Attractions were, largely, what made the difference between Costello’s debut, My Aim Is True, and This Year’s Model. As it has been said before, on My Aim is True had the punk spirit, but This Year’s Model was what punk was supposed to sound like. From the opening lines of No Action on, Costello and The Attractions begin a dizzying whirlwind ride through a dozen high-energy songs that all but find the band stumbling out of control.

This Year’s Model, his second album in less than a year, is Costello’s attempt to make certain those wounds stay open. Elvis Costello feeds off terror; sometimes it almost seems as if he deliberately conjures it up so he can finger its jagged grain and twist its neck. On last year’s My Aim Is True, the fear centered on failure ( Mystery Dance ) and rejection ( I’m Not Angry ). On This Year’s Model, it zeros in on success: Costello is afraid that fad and fashion will seduce and trample him. (I Don’t Want to Go to) Chelsea is the title and refrain of his recent Top Twenty single in England, and he means those words to be taken literally. Chelsea represents Costello’s nightmare world of success, where deceit is masked by propriety and last year’s model is thrown out with yesterday’s wash. Costello, of course, was last year’s model.

Elvis Costello was quickly developing into one of rock’s best songwriters when his second album dropped in 1978. Droll themes veer from neo-Nazi stupidity ( Night Rally ) to romantic ennui ( No Action ) to condemnations of commercialized airwaves ( Radio Radio ), and the soulfully tender Little Triggers defines heartbreak like Burt Bacharach.

Elvis' landmark first album with his formidable back-up band the Attractions just bristles with tension and energy on such sensational tunes as Pump it Up; Lipstick Vogue, and Radio, Radio. With his second album, Elvis Costello firmly established himself as one of rock's-not just punk/new wave's-premier singer-songwriters. Building on the promise of his '77 debut, My Aim Is True, Costello put together a backing touring trio, the Attractions (keyboardist Steve Nieve, bassist Bruce Thomas, and drummer Pete Thomas), and their versatility helped Costello define.
