Nov 23, 2013I dont get the reviews for this one. For me this is maybe my favorite Morrissey solo album, especially in terms of the other intstruments then Morrisseys voice, but also the singing and lyrics is to me very special on this. Put on "If you dont like me...", "Shame is the name", "I knew I was next" and you will hear what I'm talking about.

Jul 31, 2014This isn't the strongest Morrissey album of its type - how could it be, with a masterpiece like Bona Drag banging around - but it is artfully put together, and most of the songs are good enough to merit the effort involved. A few are actually amazing.

Nothing here is quite an embarrassment, but compared to his other albums of this nature, including the muddled World of Morrissey, there's a distinct lack of humor and hooks, or anything else memorable.

Certainly on this album class is more straightforward.

You see, as Swords, mopping up of the stray B-sides and bonus tracks from the comeback years, suggests, Morrissey now has a dilemma: Following group glory, solo vindication, political notoriety, sullen exile, and dramatic revival, what on earth does he do for an encore?
