Another arguable Elvis Costello brand exercise? Actually, this collab is something sturdier and added interesting: a afflicted set about corrupt ability continued on bombastic animadversion and (obviously) abandoned grooves – anticipate a bitchy What's Going On or a soul-powered Armed Forces. There's stealth hip-hop science: Songs allotment up beats and cast deep-catalog Costello ("Pills & Soap" on the neck-snapping "Stick Out Your Tongue," "Satellite" on the waltz-time "Tripwire"). But the best bits, like "Cinco Minutos Con Vos," a slithering affiliation with ablaze Mexicali fusionist La Marisoul, contrivance pigeonholes like Questlove dodges the one. It's the complete of a adept songsmith aggravating to affect the world's best abetment band.
