Re: Your Arsenal, Vauxhall & I, Kill Uncle, though...
Kill Uncle vies with Viva Hate and Bona Drag depending on my mood. But I don't understand why many fans don't rate it.
Our Frank is a great opener, Asian Rut, I'm The End Of The Family Line and The Harsh Truth are classically 'dark' Morrissey tracks, Sing Your Life is great rockabilly, Mute Witness, well, i can't explain why it's good but i love it. Found Found Found and Driving Your Girlfriend are really sweet tracks and King Leer is bloody brilliant, 'I crept up behind you with a homeless chiauahua' ... has me in stitches. There's A PLace In Hell is, admittedly, a weak closer, but i love the piano on it.
Overall, the music isn't particularly revalatory, but every track sounds different and the whole album gels as a 'story' album rather than one entirely based on his grievances or neuroses. I think I just made it a firm number 3 in my list actually.
