Product Description

From Amazon.com

Elvis Costello's final album for Warner Bros. might have been even more widely ignored had he and the Attractions not gone on tour to support it. The result led to a final split, but All This Useless Beauty still ended up doing little business. This reissue, part of Rhino's first wave of a Costello remaster/refurbishing campaign, provides an opportunity to hear mostly exemplary songwriting and assuredly masterful performances. Darkly observant and even witty, tracks like "The Other End of the Telescope" (a rewrite of a Costello-Aimee Mann collaboration), "Distorted Angel," and "Starting to Come to Me" could take their places on anyone's mix tape. (The snarling "Complicated Shadows," one of the few full-on rockers here, even made it as far as a Sopranos episode.) Costello overreaches on the title track, but its sophisticated tone works just about everywhere else it's tried. The bonus disc of demos and one-offs is necessarily a sonic hodgepodge, but it's a damn fine long-player on its own. Costello's liner notes are, as always, a must. --Rickey Wright

5.0 out of 5 stars アトラクションズはコステロの『ホーム』, 2005/5/30
By voodootalk - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
1996年リリース。実り多きワーナーでの最後のアルバムにして現時点におけるアトラクションズとの最後の競演アルバム。
特にスティーブ・ナイーブのピアノがシビレル作品である。聴き続けるうちに心の奥底にどんどん滲みてきて最後にはすっかり虜になってしまう。題名の『All This Useless Beauty』からしていかにもコステロらしい。(●^o^●)

1993年には弦楽四重奏団ブロドスキー・カルテットのコラボレーション作品『The Juliet Letters』を出したり、バート・バカラックとアルバムを出したりと色々試しているコステロ。でもいつもアトラクションズの元に戻っていってすばらしいアルバムを創り出す。アトラクションズはコステロの『ホーム』なのだ。そう感じる傑作である。

5.0 out of 5 stars アトラクションズとの集大成, 2002/9/16
コステロが他のアーティストに提供した曲を集めたセルフカバーアルバムです。コステロにとっては16枚目のアルバムでコステロ&アトラクションズ名義ではBLOOD & CHOCOLATE以来で、今現在、コステロがアトラクションズと共演したラストアルバムとなっている。注:When I was Cruelではスティーブ・ナイーブとピート・トーマスはバンドメンバーとして参加)

アルバムとしてはコステロ&アトラクションの集大成といった感じに仕上がっており、一曲一曲が心に染み込む名曲ばかりで売上的にはあまり良くなかったが、隠れた名盤といえる。

このALL THIS USELESS BEAUTYが発表された後にExtreme Honeyを発表し、ワーナーからマーキュリーレコードへ移籍した。
