Ha! I was going song-by-song, got to "Satan..." and the computer crashed!

Well done, Fred, and very fast too. Goodnight.
I’ll try:
1) Maladjusted - This song grew on me. It’s an awesome opening track and I love it on 25Live
2) Alma Matters - I’ve seen some say this is the worst Moz single ever, which blows my mind. Super catchy and again, sounds great even years later on 25Live
3) Ambitious Outsiders - Reminds me of something from “Viva Hate”
4) Trouble Loves Me - Total gem of a Morrissey song. Classic.
5) Papa Jack - Not nearly as bad as it’s made out to be. Would’ve rather had this on the reissue* than “Sorrow Will Come In The End”
6) Ammunition - Good song. Not incredible but not bad.
7) Wide To Receive - Another really good ballad.
8) Roy’s Keen - Kinda blows my mind this was a single. It’s catchy, sure, but lyrically not one of his best by a long shot.
9) He Cried - see “Ammunition”
10) Sorrow Will Come In The End - I think he hates the judicial system? Not sure. Pointless track, the people who bought the U.K. version are lucky that it wasn’t on there.
11) Satan Rejected My Soul - Kinda an odd album closer, IMO but it works. I love this song and it is nice to end on a high note.
*I haven’t listened to the reissue nearly as much as the standard but I am not a big fan of the re-jiggered track lists that he seems to love so much. Also, I hate that he kept “Sorrow” on here.
Yeah, this is pretty much where I fall on each of these tracks, too, except I like "Roy's Keen." So that's me and nobody else, apparently! I was working at Borders when Maladjusted came out and we played it on the PA system a lot, so it's always going to remind me of setting up book display tables. That's a good thing and a bad thing, I guess.
"Trouble Loves Me" really is a perfect song. One of his ten lyrical high points, I think.

I listened to this for the first time sitting in my car in the dirt parking lot of Lemos Feed & Pet Supply in Atascadero. I think I bought it a few months after it was released. I was out if the loop up there without KROQ and before the internet was a daily thing. I loved it. Not as much as I loved WP first time.
1997, back when I were a maladjusted one year old!
It is an album held with such low regard, but I enjoy listening to many of the songs.
