I listened to both KOA and IB last week and while they both have songs I love (mainly "I'll Wear It Proudly" and "Beyond Belief") they both have a lot problems for me and I'm glad to see them right in the middle of these poll results.

The duff cut on King of America is the cover of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood."
there's a live solo version of this on some promo that is pretty awesome

Is that the one where they all sing the riff? I remember hearing that on the radio a long, long time ago.

it took a little while for KoA to sink in for me, but i'm surprised it's not more highly regarded. not a duff cut on it. Falts. About half duff, to my ears. Lord Sotosyn nails it above, I think. As a huge wanking EC fanboy, I'm always amazed how very much people's mileage varies with him. I'm all, "wottayamean you don't like 'Battered Old Bird'?!" and am an Imperial Breadloom fan and have never fallen heels-up for Trust. YMMV, indeed.

Elvis Costello and The Attractions - Punch the Clock (1983) 2
a seriously underrated album -- his last great one, i think (in all seriousness, no challops).
i still would've voted for get happy!!, though.
