CHRISTGAU CONSUMER GUIDE

ABC �How To Be A Zillionaire� (Mercury) The look of the Mark I ABC fooled Anglophobes into dismissing the music as fashion-plated pandering even though it was as politically suggestive as U. S. Anglophilia gets. So don�t let the look of the Mark II ABC fool you into hoping the music is outrageous, or even campy except in a Bryan Ferry twice-removed way.
