Get Happy. Of course, the others suggested above (e.g., Brutal Youth) are also good. Since no one else has suggested it, though, if you like Imperial Bedroom, I am going to suggest All This Useless Beauty, which is an excellent album. Maybe pick that one up after Get Happy.

Why Get Happy? I just can't understand what everybody finds in it! I've heard a lot about this album but when I listened to it I was disappointed... that's very interesting....
Which next....of course, When I Was Cruel!:) Brutal Youth and Spike are also a good choice.
edit: I think if you like This Year's Model you might also like Blood&Chocolate.

I also would recommend Spike. If you really want to get into Elvis, you have to embrace the whole deal. Spike is a great transitional record. I am biased because it was my first EC album. First rate songwriting, just doesn't 'flow' like some of the earlier stuff because of the diversity of sounds being presented.

I envy your position. But whatever you pick, DON'T go to Punch the Clock or Goodbye Cruel World next.
I recommend Blood & Chocolate or Trust. Probably Trust. It's got a little bit of everything.

Because you like the pop-oriented, fast stuff, I would agree -- Get Happy is the next logical choice.like most new fans probably, my favorite albums are the faster, more pop-oriented ones for now. this years model i find just awesome.
But I don't subscribe to any order. You're already well underway in your appreciation, so even if you were to play Spike or Almost Blue, it shouldn't throw you off kilter too much. Blood and Choclate, Brutal Youth, When I Was Cruel. Hell, buy 'em all, even Juliet Letters which is underappreciated. There is fast pop elements in all of 'em.

Get Get Happy!
I could probably ask the same question...
I have:
My Aim is True, This Year's Model, Armed Forces, Get Happy, Punch the Clock, Imperial Bedroom, Kojak Variety, Spike, Mighty Like a Rose, When I was Cruel, The Delivery Man, North, The Juliet Letters, and Il Songo. My favorites have to be Armed Forces, Imperial Bedroom, and Il Songo and I hate Punch the Clock. What's good next?
