The Hitmen
Aim for the Feet
4 out of 5
Highlights:
I Still Remember It
These are songs.
Oh…more?
I really have nothing to say here beyond describing the songs and that’s a pain in the ass.
How about this: Each release listed on Discogs has a number of people who have rated it. One version scored a 2. Another scored 4.5. Another scored a 3.5.
It’s one of those records. You either decide to love it because you miss Elvis Costello or you realize that it’s nowhere near as good as Elvis and it sends you reaching for This Year’s Model.
Just listen to “Kid’s Stuff”. That’s the perfect example.
This is solid New Wave stuff. But the landscape’s littered with it.
One of these guys (The vocalist/guitarist) would go on to compose the soundtrack to the Matrix sequels among others.
Another would help found Depeche Mode.
Another would write for and with Alison Moyet.
Another would work with Nick Lowe for a quarter century.
The bona fides are there. And, as often happens, it’s too much talent overwhelming the content.
