LOVE this thread. Costello has recently become my favourite artist ever.
I feel that a mere 6/10 for Armed Forces however is reprehensible. You seem to have a particular vendetta against that album that I don't feel fairly reflects its merits. Sure thing, I agree wholeheartedly that of EC's first five "proper" albums AF is certainly the weakest. But I can see no justification for saying it is anything less than "very good". AF should have been an 8. And This Year's Model, while a no-brainer 10/10 in my books, should at least have been a 9 in yours.
Shame! To shame!
