I don't read every thread that gets posted here but I'm
sure I would've noticed if one was made about You Are The
Quarry
, which is due out next month. Why do I get the
feeling that nobody here cares? Please prove me wrong.

?

i have a good friend that is a huge morrissey fan. i like
some of the smiths stuff and a couple morrissey songs but i
get kinda tired of his voice after while. so i wasn't
really psyched about this new release. but i bet my
fanatical friend is.

Giving this thread the old one-month-later second chance
bump. There's already quality rips of the album online,
anyone check it out yet?

I haven't heard it yet, I am waiting til I buy it. I love
Morrissey, dearly. Pop music could do with a few more
literate, charismatic demi gods. Oye Esteban!

Morrissey is my Goddess. That said, I've heard a few tracks
from it, and it really doesn't seem all that good. The album
titles really got my hopes up... ''First of the Gang to
Die'', ''The World is Full of Smashing Bores''...
unmistakeably you, Moz. The album is too over the top for
me, or something. Something about it doesn't rub me the
right way. It's too easy to sing along to some of the songs.


''Come Back to Camden'' is probably my favorite on the
album, though there's one or two tracks I haven't really
listened to yet. The album is a 6.5/10 for me as of now, but
it concievably rise to an 8 in time.

It's a little better than ''Boomslang'', I guess. Nothing
special musically, but the lyrics are a joy, as always.

MOZMOZMOZMOZMOZMOZMOZMOZMOZ....

I cannot wait to buy this....

The only track I have heard is English Heart Irish Blood...
And it sounds good. I have to give it to the mozzer, his
voice is still one to be reckoned wif.

I have heard the new single

'Tis a fine song but it is no smiths.

"I Have Forgiven Jesus" and "I'm Not Sorry" are my
favorites, the latter especially. I'd like to hear Morrissey
take a stab at an acoustic/folk album, something like
Luxor by Robyn Hitchcock. I think he can pull it off.

Yes, that's the opening track. It's a decent song, not one
of my favorites. I think he could've used this opportunity
to say so much more about the U.S. but chooses to attack the
hamburger and is pretty vague about everything else.

America / your head’s too big / because
America / your belly’s too big
and I love you
I just wish you’d stay where you is / in
America / the land of the Free, they said
and of opportunity
in a Just / and a Truthful way
but where the President is never black
or female or gay / and until that day
you’ve got nothing to say to me
to help me believe / in
America / it brought you the hamburger
well America / you know where
you can shove your hamburger
and don’t you wonder
why in Estonia / they say “hey you, /
you big fat pig” / “you fat pig” / “you fat pig”
Steely-blue eyes / with no love in them
scan the world
and a humourless smile
with no warmth within
greets the world
and I / I have got nothing / to offer you
just this heart deep and true
which you say you don’t need
- see with your eyes / touch with your hands
- please
- hear through your ears / know in your soul
- please
for haven’t you me with you now?
and I love you / I love you / I love you
I love you / I love you / I love you

Yeah, I saw an interview with him on CNN Headline News last
week. Some of his 80s work was pretty good. That and The
Smiths have quite a few good tunes.

I saw him on the jONATHAN rOSS show last night - his first
interview in sevenTEEN years. He played his new single,
Irish Blood English Heart, which I liked. I think I'll
download his new album, see if I likes it - I might consider
buying it if I do.

i saw that interview too... dunno what you thought, but i
thought he came across as a complete CUNT. he disappeared
completely up his own arse. no redeeming features.

I saw him on Jonathan Ross as well. He seemed, as loogie
said, a bit of a cunt. It's a fine line to walk between
"uncompromising" and "cunt" and since he's getting on a bit
now he seems to be veering towards the latter. He was pretty
crap as an interviewee and I'm betting he had to be pushed
into doing it by others.

I didn't like the song much either. I've never been a huge
fan of Morrissey but that's mostly due to the fact that his
voice grates on me after a while. The songs have always had
an edge though.
His voice has changed a bit now and become less unique. And
the song just seemed a bit dull.

He's live on Peel this week, I hear, so maybe I'll give him
another listen.

His new single, which he's been hawking around every tv show
in existence it seems (was he on Des & Mel too?) sounds just
like Idlewild, which is really quite... sick.
