The Smiths are dead.
When 'You Are the Quarry' came out, after The Wilderness Years Part 1 - everyone - public and media, were GAGGING for it. To be honest, I think the gap between 'Years of Refusal' and ''World Peace' wasn't long enough. The Wilderness Years Part 3 needs to be about 15-20 years of total silence. Then Morrissey could release a fart and everyone would go mad for it.
Does all this affect the value of my collection of Morrissey memorabilia?
Let’s not forget Letters To Moz (which hasn’t had an update in almost a month)
That's exactly the kind of half-start, half-assed "promotion" I'm talking about. It was all so poorly executed, with zero follow-through. I find that kind of thing maddening—if you can't do it right, don't do it at all. The same goes for the teaser wheatpastes—if you ONLY have the teaser part of the campaign (album title only, without Morrissey's name) with no eventual reveal, what does it accomplish? No one other than fans who already knew the name of the album had any clue what it was about. Pointless.
I don't know if Morrissey can do better at this point, but he certainly deserves better.
Rubbish the only difference was that YATQ had TV appearances a recent feature length documentary, several press interviews, TV adverts, accompanying concerts and real singles with videos. The interest is there from the mainstream media and the general public, the autobiography has proved that.
Just reading a biography of Barnett, he seems to work with really experienced, really professional artists,
as Barnett thinks he has the Tiffany label, & doesn't need this sickly, opinionated, scandal-inducing diva on his hands, especially when his record will be out of the charts in 3 weeks.

So much, this. It seems like at the beginning, with the preorder packages, the teaser wheat pastes, etc....that this was going to be a nice relationship. I can’t say there’s ever a dull moment in Moz land, that’s for sure.
I just looked at the list of Harvest artists for the first time....besides TV On The Radio (whom I didn’t know were on there) and Death Grips (who I only knew because of seeing their name around) I’d never heard of any other artist.
