Query: Don't Get Happy

This CD was recommended to me by someone who I thought was a person of good taste: I now know otherwise. I don't know what you have to do to sit through this entire record but I barely got through the first five tracks before I was fed up. All I heard were a bunch of shallow, lyrical cliches; trite, undeveloped, unexplored tunes that were too short to be anything but shallow; and an overall delivery that was less interested in being interesting than it was in fulfilling some unfathomable whim of Costello's . I started playing it with high hopes, and after the first song I said "that's IT?" I kept listening hoping it would get better, but it went nowhere. So there I was, stuck with a CD I couldn't return: it went in the trash. Lesson: ALWAYS, ALWAYS listen to a CD before you buy it.
