Thought this topic deserved its own thread.
Here is what appears to be the first review of the new album (which I've cut and pasted from the tracklisting thread):

Report from the new Morrissey disc
There, now are all the parts for tomorrow's Romain-Gavras/rockumentär-uppslag submissions and I can finally devote myself to what happened yesterday afternoon. Then I set the speed at Universal's offices with home-made pepparkaksbakelser and saffransbiskvier to julfika with Charlie and Martin and at the same time listen in on the new Morrissey album. The disc Years of refusal released until Feb. 16 - single I'm Throwing my arms around Paris will be Feb. 9 - but because I knew that Charlie has already received the disc, I saw that immediately be invited for private listening.
And if we are to start with Epilogue: I like the disc! A lot. It contains no bottom tracks (the opening song Something is squeezing my sake, is so incomprehensible that Morrissey obviously got to be kidding with us) but also many very fine and very good songs.
I listened to the disc one (1) time - besides the immediate favorite track When I last spoke Thursday Carol that I asked to listen to an extra time - so subject to certain tracks may grow with time (half of the songs have already appeared in various live context), here a few very quick notes on Years of refusal.
Something is squeezing my sake. An alarming öppningslåt that led me to bring afternoon tea in the neck. Intense drums, rock and Moz sing faster than ever with a droll emphasis on the "sake". Why is this track on the disc? And as the number one song? Oh, dear.
Mama success lay on the riverbed. A marked improvement from track number one. Very drums, a hip sound and probably reminiscent of some of Maladjusted-time. A song with the potential to grow.
Black cloud. Sounds like a typical Morrissey anno 00-song speech. Skate backgrounds and ends with a short gitarrsolo.
I'm Throwing my arms around Paris. Perhaps the disc's finest track. Ache poparrangemang and guitar loops that allow Morrissey voice come instead to merge with a hip backdrop.
All you need is me. The swinging pophitten as Moz put on his Greatest Hits CD that came in the spring.
When I last spoke Thursday Carol. My favorite track and one of the best Morrissey songs at 00 century. Pampigt intro with Spanish guitars. It sounds radically bomb on a new Moz-way and towards the end turn also Spanish trumpets up and get him to let the celebratory (Yeah, I like to use the word hilarious here) than ever.
That's how people grow up. I've still difficult for Kris Teen Young's opera aspirated intro but like the rest of the song. Moz-swinging (this is a special type of swing).
One day goodbye will be farewell. Sounds like a typical Moz-song with the orotund and great text. I like it very much.
It's not your birthday anymore. Love Ballad string Morrissey is back. A song that stands out on the disc. The music mercantile on as if the special written to function in arena situations.
You were good in your time. A slow track with synthetic strings that ends with recordings from any film with flying machines. I guess post but the film is that samples?
Sorry does not help. Sounds like something that could be included on any of his recent discs. A swinging högtempo-song with neat end.
I'm OK by myself. Ursnyggt intro with the same pressures as Sweet and tender Hooligan. "Could this be an arm around my Waist?" Wonders Morrissey while guitars flashes and base running in the foreground. A brilliant clearance on the disc.
Years of refusal thus released Feb. 16. I am really looking forward to hearing When I last spoke Thursday Carol again. What a song! More complete analysis and comments when I listened to it again.
