There are few things in the world as dependable, year after year, as the quality of Elvis Costello's music. He's neither as biting nor as rocking as he once was--and he's not always brilliant--but even in his third decade Costello is consistently good. The Warner Bros. years constitute a series of albums beginning with 1989's Spike through 1996's All This Useless Beauty, and Extreme Honey collects notable tracks from five albums. With the inclusion of a hit ("Veronica"), a rarity ("My Dark Life" with Brian Eno), and a never- before-released track, this doesn't encapsulate Costello's earlier brilliance, but it is a good summation of the best of the rest. --Roni Sarig
