To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. No, it's okay though, what I did like was the cover art, and I just may get another different album in the future. The band were flown to LA to record the album in the Sunset Sound recording studio, which was previously used by Bob Dylan and the Beach Boys. Ole Black `n' Blue Eyes" is arguably the best offering here, and revisits Chelsea (who herself gets a nod in the sleeve notes).

It's pretty rare for me to like all of the tracks on a album, but this is definitely one of those albums. Costello Music includes the hit singles Chelsea Dagger and Henrietta, as well as tracks form their limited edition eponymous EP, with tracks like the live favourite Creepin' up the Backstairs.

But there was one that was driving me nuts, more than any other, and then I got it: if you're a fan of The Kinks - both early and late - you'll find much to love here.

Yes I know they are 'Indie' but these boys style origins come more from the gods of guitar wielding stompin rockin 70's glam rockers than the likes of Coldplay.

El disco en sí es genial, gran debut de estos escoceses, nunca volvieron a este nivel lamentablemente.And, in the pantheon of iPod pitchmen bands, will the Fratellis be the next Jet or just the next Caesars? What if the Arctic Monkeys didn't care about street cred and signed to a major instead of trying to keep it real on Domino? They cut short the US leg of their tour, canceling nine dates, citing fatigue from their many months of touring as the cause.

Costello Music features 13 tracks including the hit singles 'Chelsea Dagger', 'Whistle for the Choir' and 'Henrietta', as well as cuts from their limited edition eponymous EP.Having greatly enjoyed the three singles so far, I must admit to approaching with some trepidation - but am happy to report that these three are by no means the only great tracks here, and not even the best.

There's nothing terribly complicated about the Fratellis' debut album, Costello Music , but that's by no means a criticism.Paul McNamee of NME noted that most tracks on the album told a story; " Henrietta", tells the story of an older woman who stalks the song's narrators; "Vince the Lovable Stoner" is about a man with a drug addiction, and "Chelsea Dagger" is said by Jon Fratelli to be about a showgirl. But all this analysis kind of misses the point of Costello Music : this is music for dancing, not for contemplation. Critics likened the album to the works of The Libertines, Babyshambles and Arctic Monkeys, all bands known for their British rock roots. What if Pete Doherty spent less time doing crack and more time getting high on the fact that he gets to have sex with Kate Moss? But the Fratellis are a decent singles band working overtime here-- though no song breaks the four-minute mark, there's still 13 of them to wade through, and most are beholden to a predictable pattern of hop-along verse and overexcited amped-up chorus, while the attempts to toughen up their eager-to-please power-pop with bluesy prowls ("Doginabag") and hoarse-throat punky aggression ("Got Ma Nuts From a Hippy") are far less engaging.
