"Stella Hurt" starts out like Elvis Costello is going to rip into a metal song, but its sort of reigned back into something that sounds somewhere in between Hendrix and Dylan's version of "All Along the Watchtower." Definitely the least good song so far and the closest he sounds to being out of touch and reaching further than his grasp. Although the solo is sort of cool.
"Mr. Feathers" is a Beatlesesque trifle with some kind of lame studio experimentation. Will side three end up being totally lame???
"My Three Sons" is a pretty straight-forward, good-in-a-workmanlike-sort-of-way song that is about how much Costello loves his three sons. And I guess implicitly also that he sorry that he divorced so many other women and banged so many other chicks while he was married to them.
Side three, you let me down. Fuck.
