Trust, his fifth studio album, finds Costello moving closer to the pinched sophistication that would occasionally subsume his intelligent directness over the following years. But save for a couple of weak numbers, it offers the best of both worlds, with the Attractions lending heft to the cunning and well-observed "Clubland," "Watch Your Step," and "New Lace Sleeves." Rykodisc's reissue includes "Sad About Girls," a cut from the Costello-less band's own Mad About the Wrong Boy, among its nine bonus tracks. --Rickey Wright --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

A transitional album for Costello and the Attractions, this was the last for a long while with Nick Lowe at the production helm, and the first where Costello calmed down....just a little. A couple of tunes were written back in 1976, others showed him trading the noisy intensity of old for a quieter kind of intensity. As Costello notes in the liner notes, "The sessions were often frantic, swinging from elation to despair, for which I must take most of the blame."
