Nothing real earth shattering here, they dont even give it a "rating".
ARTIST: MORRISSEY
ALBUM: YEARS OF REFUSAL
NEW YORK (Billboard) – Morrissey is no stranger to the artful expression of frustration, but here he blows off steam with an unusually high level of rock intensity. At times reminiscent of 1992's "Your Arsenal" and 2004's "You Are the Quarry," the latter also produced by the late Jerry Finn, "Years of Refusal" is full of satisfying attitude, from the driving distortion of "Something Is Squeezing My Skull" to the confident swing of "All You Need Is Me." But as with much of Morrissey's work, there is a deceptively joyful energy in the music itself, especially present in songs like first single "I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris," which is almost pastoral in its resignation that "only stone and steel accept my love." Though a few tracks, like "That's How People Grow Up," fall back on overused Morrissey formulas, others add welcome variety, among them the Latin-tinged "When Last I Saw Carol".
