Elvis Costello - batch review

All the following have been shelved for years. I will grade them as I play them in the future, but they would range from 7 (B+) to possibly 9 (A):

    My Aim Is True

    This Year's Model

    Armed Forces

    Get Happy!

    Imperial Bedroom

I also have had Blood and Chocolate on the final listen shelf for years and posted separately about King of America. Never been a big fan, personally. He was a bit of a snot to me once at Tower Records in LA in the 1990s, but I swear I'm not holding it against him. We were both picking through some recent Dylan re-issues. I am much more of a Graham Parker fan, and think he has made consistently better albums, but I realize this is not the common view.
