i thought i read it was designed by his nephews
I don't understand all the excitement over this news. Morrissey pulls stunts like this all the time. When he is ready to release another album, he will announce that he has material but no label, then he will tour to show that there is still interest in him. Finally, another record label will take a chance on him and regret it.
The rhythm of life goes round.
very true. the lyrics are really bad on this album for the most part. A few brief flashbulb glimpses in there of Morrissey's greatness but for the most part they are trite rubbish.
Musically it sounds like it has been written by session musicians. Obviously the band can play very well but being a great player and a great songwriter are two very different crafts and for the most party Boz aside they are not.
Music equipment shops around the world are full of guys who work there that could probably play every note for note any past Morrissey or any other artists' album but try getting them to actually write a great song and they couldn't.
All the flamenco guitars and effects can not hide the fact that the majority of the music on this album sucks
Maybe after he posted that boozed-up nonsensical rant at true-to-you about meat consumption being responsible for downed airliners, he (in his infinite wisdom) drunk-dialed management at Harvest! Of course he won't remember doing any of it, drunk as he was, and will most surely post another rant saying his departure from Harvest came out of nowhere and for no reason, and then, he'll probably ramble on about Prince William and how eating meatloaf is why the Ukraine is in turmoil. Go Moz!

Is that true?
So what exactly happened with the creation of this record, because I read that Morrissey paid for the videos himself and his nephews did the cover.
I thought he only ever wanted to be on a label out of principle and would never go the DIY/crowd fund route, but it sounds like he did most of it out of his own pocket?
I think we have to be very very happy cause in the end we got a great album to listen to for months to come ,
Cheers Moz
agree with all this. Alan Whyte was a great songwriter as was/is Boz. Both these guys came from bands as opposed to Jesse etc who are just session men who came from the Alanis Morissette world. Sure he could probably play Stairway To Heaven backwards standing on his head but he ain't no songwriter.
I think you need to have your ears checked; this is nowhere near a great album.
Very well said. Alain and Boz were by far his best writers; Jesse sucks.
how do you know?
TRB told me.
Many think it is. Who are you to tell them different?
