Mojo review of YOR

Morrissey - Years Of Refusal (Polydor, 2009) - Mojo

Indie rock's Mr Bridger, still in possession of 'it'.

He knows all about refusing for years; after 1997's Maladjusted and before 2004's You Are The Quarry, Morrissey simply withdrew to Los Angeles, retaining a regal silence bar the odd tour and curiosities with cool sleevenotes like this. Years Of Refusal, an album full of powerful, pulse-stimulating tunes sung by a charismatic provocateur in full control of his instrument, is also full of people hanging in stasis, from the chemically-coshed protagonist of Something Is Squeezing My Skull to the paralysed, isolated narrator of Black Cloud. There is also doubt, and intimations of mortality that seem more than the ghoulish chain pulling of yore. Is pained valediction You Were Good In Your Time addressed to David Bowie, Morrissey's one time tourmate, or is he talking to a future version of himself? And do its final two minutes of spectral underwater atmospheres and muted voices speaking French attempt to capture the sound of dying itself? Certainly, One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell, with its declaration, "And when I die I want to go to hell!" draws attention to the extinction that awaits us all. Best not to dwell on it too much. But as All You Need Is Me points out, we'll miss him when he's gone.

Morrissey mentioned in song by The Nightfloats
posted by davidt on Tuesday April 28 2009, @09:00AM

 The Nightfloats writes:
We're a bedroom guitar and bathroom singing kind of band...we're nothing even remotely close to what most moz fans like, but we're Morrissey fans and have met alot of cool friends and fellow Moz fans over the years. We thought we'd mention that Morrissey is mentioned in the lyrics of one of our demo songs called "Sorry Symphony".

How do you feel about Morrissey dropping the F-bomb during his recent concert in Hamburg, Germany? (suggested by Ken Stavitzke)
I support Morrissey's response
Morrissey could have replied differently
I am undecided
I don't care
The audience provocateur should be examined, not Morrissey's reply
