I think it must be the hugely symbolic cover photo of Morrissey holding a pen while touching himself in front of a dog.
Get a life
I have one. Would you like to know what it's like?
Well it can't be very exciting seeing as you've spent so much of your time telling us how much you don't like an album. You've made your point. Move on.
Don't be too hasty. He's been trying to squeeze a gag out of that cover for weeks. Give him some time...
Interesting you should mention sounding like Green Day.That his band doesn't sounds anymore like Green Day or Avril Lavigne "Punk Rock"
That voice - my god, that voice.
Yes, I agree. His vocals have always been unique.
Even though he's much older and his voice has matured...he really knows how to work it and get the best out of it.
The production. The production is just so lovely and crammed full of lovely little details. Caring.
Interesting you should mention sounding like Green Day.
I assume you are referring to the main criticism of YOR?
I was thinking about this myself.
My thoughts are that the latest album kinda make YOR sound better in retrospect.
After all, the heavy guitar band sound was only for one album.
If he'd stuck with it for further releases I think it would have got tired very quickly.
But, no. He did one album with a number of tracks (not all) with quite a heavy guitar sound.
And now he has moved on and we have the interesting production techniques used on WPINOYB.
So, in retrospect, it's grand that we have a heavy metal Moz album (although it's nothing like Green Day).
It's not powerful in the slightest. It's full blown shite!
Imagine someone else trying to sing 'Last of the Famous International Playboys' (-Miley?)I've always compared Morrissey to Piaf: world-weariness agrees with him. His "single take" vocals put the most studied divas to shame.
When Morrissey stops singing, there's no one who can take his place.
