Dreaming from the past
I'll be honest, Southpaw Grammer and Maladjusted were not the follow-up albums fans expected or hoped for after Your Arsenal and Vauxhall. Difficult albums, the greatness of which only became apparent over time. In the late summer of 1997, Maladjusted began more or less where Southpaw ended. A rough, eternally long instrumental by Boz, in which Morrissey lyrically reveals himself and questions his own person doubtfully. Cryptic references to mystical places, his own career and life, that not everyone could understand. Today I consider the title song from 1997 to be one of the best Morrissey songs of the late 90s because he dares a lot, leans out far and doesn't necessarily want to be loved.
And again: Lillywhite gives the band a sound and the whole record an atmosphere, that still reaches me 24 years later.
