Pro Maladjusted!

[matt]

I would just like to say that as I sit here at work and listen to Morrissey's last full length effort, I for one am very happy with it. This record gets too much negative coverage. I love it! Sure, it's not Vauxhall, but then again, such brilliance only comes along once in a lifetime for most people.

> Of course you're right about Maladjusted. It's contains some of Morrissey's best efforts. Most of it is more interesting and musically diverse than the rather one note Vauxhall, though Vauxhall perhaps is more cohesive as a whole. But your comment most likely falls on the deaf ears of most of the minions who frequent here, because, you see, there is an indirect relationship between maturity in Morrissey's music and the average fan's attention span. Thankfully, Morrissey largely ignores this disillusioning fact of life.

I especially was very fond of Roy's Keen and Alma Matters, however, the whole album was really enjoyable. I find myself with quite a many repeat listenings (more so than Kill Uncle..which is my least favorite album) as I bash annoying idiots with a frying pan or pursuade them to jump out the window.

Lawyer..liar..indeed

Moz rocks tha' houzzzzzzzzeeeee-aaaaaaaaa ah!

personally, i think 'malajusted' was one of his best albums, as a whole.

Yeah the album is strictly ok......go back beyond vauxhall and your arsenal to find the true brilliance of morrissey.

You don't have to go back that far - look at the B-sides for Maladjusted and Southpaw. Lost is amazing... I can have Both is beautiful...This is not your Country kicks the arse of anything anyone else in music has done in the past 3 years... Nobody Loves Us and You Must Please Remember both live up to the standards of most of what's on Vauxhall or YA.

Those tracks don't seem to fit on the album, but individually they blow away most of the filler tracks on Maladjusted.

I actually hated the song "Malajusted" when it first came out a few years ago - now I think it's one of the best songs on that album. I felt the same way about the record -- didn't much like it at first, but now think it's one of his better efforts. Far better than "Vauxhall" and "Southpaw" which are his weakest. I still don't know what everyone sees in Vauxhall. It blows.

i dont know maybe its just me but there's something about vauxhall that makes my heart sigh, like someone said, "here this is what a breaking heart sounds like from begining to end.". i'm mean from love unrequited to love betrayed its all there complete with the maddening apathy of those who dont care and never will. in my humble opinion its a beautiful testimony of true sorrow.

I love Maladjusted. It made me like Morrissey. My sister had made me a tape of Kill Uncle and Vauxhall when I was in sixth grade, but I wasn't too fond of either. Then one day I was walking by racks of CDs, and I just saw Maladusted. I didn't know he was still around, so I bought it to see what it was like. It made me go back and listen to the others, and I started to like Vauxhall. Then I wondered what the Smiths sounded like, so my sister taped The Queen is Dead for me. Thus began a beautiful thing: a new fan was born.
