ANY TROUBLE—"Where Are All the Nice Girls?” (Stiff) Maybe I should've listened harder. The untitled follow-up set is a collection of Did you ever notice that all the bands who’ve fallen under the spell of Elvis tough, gritty, compelling songs from a band who sound like they have their Costello come out sounding like This Year’s Model re-runs? Any Trouble takes backs to the wall, yet this music is far from abrasive and is in fact intelligently a different route, opting closer to Costello's debut, "My Aim is True.” Clive crafted pop music.

Nevertheless, this debut set has THE POLICE—"Zcnyatta Mondatta” (A 8c M) been a personal favorite for months, and one of this year's better efforts.
