# Talk:Goodbye Cruel World (Elvis Costello album)

I remember, although I don't have a link, Costello describing this album as some of his best songs with the worst performances. Certainly it is an 'End of an Era' album and his frustrations with the Attractions are clear in the sleeve notes. But, while he calls Steve Naive 'Maurice Worm' here and credits him as 'Random Racket' he later went to to make an album with him alone so he must have relented. Maybe Costello just has bad memories of this album.  I'm not sure it's such a bad album personally, better overall I would say than 'Blood and chocolate' or Armed Forces.

What "...Is featured on the 7th episode of Malcolm Gladwell's podcast"?  The song "The Deportees Club"? Fp cassini (talk) 14:20, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

Currently expanding this one. I'm surprised to find none of the tracks have individual pages. If any of them there would be one for "Peace in Our Time", as per reviews I've found that's the album's highlight. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 15:00, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
