 The Observer reckon The Judgement's sound:
"But it's the Elvis Costello contribution, 'The Judgement' - a magnificent crescendo of snare drums, analogue ambience and Burke's desperate, lovestruck voice - that marks the album's centrepiece. It's a homage to the great songs from Atlantic Records' heyday - a man stands in court, awaiting sentence, after admitting to having betrayed his lover. 'He fell to his knees/ And said "darlin' please",' yells Burke, before pleading, 'Don't send me down'"

 Elvis is listed to appear on an Irish radio show this Sat., July 20th. Called Under The Influence , the show features a guest talking about music that has inspired/influenced him/her.
