Morrissey - Very Best Of (from recordcollectormag)

Including box sets, this will be the tenth Morrissey compilation - odd, when you consider that he's only made nine solo albums. Of course, his movement from label to label hasn't helped, but you start to think the phrase "for completists only" was created especially for el Moz. The scope of Very Best Of is sketchy. There's only one unreleased song (a solo take on Interlude, more commonly found with Siouxsie Sioux guesting) but, bizarrely, EMI have put two further unheard cuts on limited 7"s th......

Morrissey - Bona Drag: Special Edition (from Record Collector Mag)

Morrissey has been actively involved in his catalogue of late. His penchant for resurrecting forgotten imprints (he clearly carries great weight at EMI today) continues, with Major Minor the next vehicle for releases. Bona Drag was a self-imposed grab-bag of all the good stuff released between 1987-90 and, as such, is a strong set. Top 10 hits abound, but it's less well-known tracks that, unsurprisingly, affect today. Will Never Marry and Yes, I Am Blind portray the singer as a boy, far from t......

Morrissey - Morrissey - Greatest Hits (from Uncut)

Critics are contractually obliged to nitpick the tracklisting of compilations like this, but even by Morrissey's standards of perversity, Greatest Hits feels like a rum do. Supposedly presenting the finest moments of his solo career, it consists primarily of songs from his last two albums. There's no room for "November Spawned A Monster", "Piccadilly Palare" or "Boxers", while a ropey live version of Patti Smith's "Redondo Beach" does make the cut. And yet, strictly speaking, commercially, Great......

morrissey - Vauxhall And I Review (from ultimate-guitar)

Sound: Vauxhall is "The Queen Is Dead" of Morrissey's solo career; a beautiful lament from the slightly bitter, but still tragically romantic, gladioli-wiedling king of meloncholy, the mancunian Elvis of gloom. The music is really quite brilliant, understated indie that exorcises any ghostly memories of Marr being irreplacable. The main riff in "The More You Ignore Me The Closer I Get" is perfect catchy rock, while the haunting, ethereal backing to "Lifeguard Sleeping, Girl Drowning" creates suc......

morrissey - You Are The Quarry Review (from ultimate-guitar)

Sound: A dramatic shift in tone in comparison to his first solo album, Bona Drag, Quarry features a sunnier sound to the Mancunian miserablist, as well as a sharper tongue. Morrissey seems to have gone back to his roots, with songs outlining his childhood and Irish heritage, though others (for example the unforgettable I Have Forgiven Jesus) have a slightly more universal message. Moz's next album, Ringleader Of The Tormentors, would feature a darker, and heavier tone, so this album seems to me ......

Morrissey - Years of Refusal (from Ink19)

He'll be turning 50 this spring, yet Morrissey is making the best music of his post-Smiths career. Years of Refusal, his ninth solo full length in twenty years' time, is full of the maudlin and masterfully mopey expressions of self doubt that fans have come to expect and adore from Morrissey, but delivered with a bolder punch -- thanks to the comfortable collaboration the Moz has cultivated with long time band members Boz Boorer, Jesse Tobias, Matt Walker, and Solomon Walker. Heavy percussion an......

Morrissey - Live at Earls Court (from plumenoire)

Genre: Rock Year: 2005 Country: USA Official Site: Morrissey Details: Tracks & Audio Label: Sanctuary Records 2004 marked the unexpected return of Morrissey to the spotlight with the release of the more rock-oriented album You Are The Quarry. Live at Earls Court chronicles the musical trajectory of a man who successfully reconverted to a solo career after having led one of the most influential bands of the post-punk era. Listening to the opening track, "How Soon Is Now", it is clear that the sin......

Morrissey - London Royal Albert Hall, October 27th 2009 (from Altsounds)

"The doctor said I shouldn't smile. I told him I don't." Yes, you guessed it: it's a Morrissey's gig. Grumpy old men and women of London are tonight reunited at the Royal Albert Hall, to moan together under the excellent direction of their favourite British star. The Smiths' icon makes his comeback after collapsing on stage in Swindon and cancelling next day's gig in Bournemouth; I suppose cancelling Royal Albert Hall for the second time (this was rescheduled from May, when again he fell ill......

morrissey - Southpaw Grammar Review (from ultimate-guitar)

Sound: Wow! Morrissey and pals really experimented on this one. It is the album after his very successful "Vauxhall And I". From what I read it got mixed reviews at the time. As a matter of fact, it took me several years to even think about buying it which I did off eBay for a dollar. And a dollar well spent it was. The song "The Operation" opens with a drum solo! And it also contains song sort of weird screaming guitar effect as the song comes to a chaotic close. And an awesome bass line to boo......

Morrissey - Bona Drag (20th Anniversary Edition) (from Pop Matters)

You'd be hard pressed to find a more revered figure in all of post-punk (talking the timeline here, not the genre) indie-dom than Steven Patrick Morrissey. Ian Curtis would give him a run, but then Curtis cut tragically short his own brilliant creative streak. Bowie comes to mind, of course, but you'd be equally hard pressed to find many people willing to rally around his more recent material, and anyway his best years came before the punk explosion. Brian Eno could do it, but he seems so remote......

morrissey - Your Arsenal Review (from ultimate-guitar)

Sound: I remember when this was released back in the day all the fans of Morrissey and his old band, The Smiths, loved it and said it sounded the closest to the Smiths sound and lyrics. It is a solid release. Produced by ex-Bowie guitarist, the late Mick Ronson, (who had cancer while producing this album) "Your Arsenal" laid the path for Morrissey's next album and his biggest "Vauxhall and I". On "Glamorous Glue" Alain Whyte plays some great slide guitar which totally goes great with this rocker......

Morrissey - Very Best Of (from bbc)

Compilation albums of this ilk have always been subject to a certain sense of snobbery and suspicion, but even by the standards of a man re-issued and re-packaged more than most, this set is downright bizarre. This is where - to dial a cliché - the joke just isn't funny anymore. The main problem resides not really in what's being sold, but how it is presented. This is not - as the title misleads - the very best of Morrissey's solo work, but a selection of material from his HMV and Parlophone al......

Morrissey - Bona Drag (20th Anniversary Edition) (from Pop Matters)

Morrissey - Bona Drag [20th Anniversary Edition] (from pitchfork)

Bona Drag, the most enduring success of Morrissey's solo career, was built on his first true taste of failure. After the dissolution of the Smiths, Moz was, quite oddly, tipped by many to struggle without his longtime songwriting partner and bandmate Johnny Marr; he wasted no time proving them wrong, releasing his debut solo single, "Suedehead", just over two months after the final Smiths single. It became his biggest hit to that point, the first of four consecutive UK top-10 singles, and, with ......

morrissey - Live At Earls Court Review (from ultimate-guitar)

Sound: This is another live album I really like. In 2005 Morrissey capitalized on the success of "You Are The Quarry" by releasing only his second ever live album. His other one "Beethoven Was Deaf" was released in 1993. He has a great backing band with standby Boz Boorer on guitar, Jesse Tobias also on guitar, Deano Butterworth on drums, Mikey V. Farrel on keyboards, and returning on bass Gary Day. The crowd really reacts to classic Smiths songs like "Bigmouth Strikes Again" and "There Is A Lig......
