I think Joe Chiccarelli has been a very positive influence on Morrissey's career over the past several years. The lyrics haven't always worked during this period, but I think the production has generally been strong and some of these releases have been underrated up to now.

In chronological order:

1, Staircase at the University
2, Art-hounds
3, Istanbul
4, Home is a Question Mark
5, Some Say I Got Devil
6, Jim Jim Falls
7, Bobby, Don't You Think They Know?
8, What Kind of People Live in These Houses
9, Once I Saw the River Clean
10, My Hurling Days Are Done
