Armed Forces is the third studio album by English singer-songwriter Elvis Costello, released on 5 January 1979 in the United Kingdom through Radar Records. It was his second album with the Attractions—keyboardist Steve Nieve, bassist Bruce Thomas and drummer Pete Thomas (no relation)—and the first to officially credit them on the cover. The album was recorded in six weeks from August to September 1978 at Eden Studios in London under the working title Emotional Fascism. Produced by Nick Lowe and engineered by Roger Béchirian, the sessions saw Costello exert more control over production compared to This Year's Model (1978), while Nieve contributed more to song arrangements.

Armed Forces är ett musikalbum av Elvis Costello & the Attractions lanserat i januari 1979. Det var Costellos tredje studioalbum och det första där the Attractions krediterades på skivomslagets framsida. Albumet hade först arbetsnamnet Emotional Fascism. På albumet distanserade sig Costello från den punk-influerade stilen på det föregående albumet This Year's Model till ett mer pop-orienterat sound. Textmässigt innehåller albumet ett genomgående tema av militarism och fascism och i flera av texterna använder Costello politiska metaforer för att beskriva personliga erfarenheter. På albumet återfinns Costellos framgångsrikaste singel i hemlandet Storbritannien; "Oliver's Army". Skivan rankades i listan The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time av Rolling Stone som #482.[källa behövs] 2002 släpptes

The Armed Forces sleeve was very involved. [...] We wanted to make it as impractical and ghastly as possible. There were kitsch elements of pop art in it, of trash art that you can buy from Woolworth's, of postcards that are disposable and you lose them. It was never supposed to live forever, so it's ironic that we've ended up reissuing the thing.

We either make it all the way with Armed Forces or we don't. If this album doesn't break in America, then Columbia will still keep us but we'll be considered pretty much a spent force.

Armed Forces is a very modern record of its time – self-consciously modernist. We borrowed sounds from some records that we listened to constantly, almost obsessively, at the time. We were into strange behavior! [...] We'd be driving through the Appalachians listened to some ghastly synthesiser music made in Berlin. It was bound to mess you up. The reference points were bound to get unglued. In the end, we got terribly arrogant and confident, and that's why the record sounds like that.

Armed Forces is the third studio album by English singer-songwriter Elvis Costello, released on 5 January 1979 in the United Kingdom through Radar Records. It was his second album with the Attractions—keyboardist Steve Nieve, bassist Bruce Thomas and drummer Pete Thomas (no relation)—and the first to officially credit them on the cover. The album was recorded in six weeks from August to September 1978 at Eden Studios in London under the working title Emotional Fascism. Produced by Nick Lowe and engineered by Roger Béchirian, the sessions saw Costello exert more control over production compared to This Year's Model (1978), while Nieve contributed more to song arrangements. Most of the material for Armed Forces was written on the road throughout 1978. For the album, Costello sought a more commercial sound than the punk rock style employed on his two previous records, resulting in a more pop-oriented production reflecting the new wave era. Musical influences included David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Kraftwerk, the Beatles and ABBA. The overtly political lyrics concern the effect of politics on human relationships. The UK release featured an elaborate fold-out LP packaging, with a cover depicting a herd of elephants; it was simplified for the US release through Columbia Records, which featured an alternate drip-cover. Initial pressings of also included a promotional three-song EP titled Live at Hollywood High. Supported by the successful UK singles "Oliver's Army" and "Accidents Will Happen", Armed Forces reached number two in the UK, becoming Costello's biggest commercial success up to that point. The American version, released in February 1979, omitted "Sunday's Best" and replaced it with Costello's version of Lowe's "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding". The album received positive reviews from music critics and appeared on several lists of the year's best albums. Costello and the Attractions supported the album on the Armed Funk tour in America, which was plagued with issues, including an incident with Stephen Stills that nearly destroyed Costello's reputation in the country. In later decades, Armed Forces has continued to receive positive reviews, with many highlighting the production. Others noted that it contained musical styles Costello would utilise for later records. It is considered one of Costello's best works and has appeared on various best-of lists. The album has been reissued multiple times, including in 2020 as a super deluxe edition, which was positively received.
