Excerpt:
Here we go again. Another compendium for the masses. Another anthology for the fanatics. Another compilation for the people. But before we question why another tome on the Pope of Mope is warranted, let’s look at what this addition to the Morrissey canon offers.
Citing over 100 articles and more than a dozen websites and books (including Simon Goddard’s Songs That Saved Your Life: The Art of the Smiths 1982-1987, reviewed by PLAYBACK:stl in 2013), Morrissey FAQ contains some hidden gems and surprising insights. Broken into classifications, the 41 “chapters” deliver a skimmer’s delight. Readers can peruse sections noting Morrissey’s TV appearances, music videos, DVD/videotape releases, bandmate biographies, and an impressive 21-page discography. Yes, 21 pages! (Take that Taylor Swift!) Approximately 130 pages, the majority of the book, is reserved for an exhaustive track listing and dissection of his albums from The Smiths’ self-titled debut through the most recent solo releases. Overall, Morrissey FAQ reads like a checklist for Morrissey/Smiths collectors.
