... the judgmentally clouded fans that love any trash he releases do!
Or... just people who happen to like listening to Morrissey songs i.e. Morrissey fans, as they are known.
As a Morrissey fan, I enjoy average Morrissey songs e.g. Now I Am A Was, Have-A-Go-Merchant, Lucky Lisp et al. Average songs yet enjoyable to me on many levels. Action Is My Middle Name is a better song than these, of course. The other two new ones are at about the same level, but... I still enjoy listening to them. This does not make me "judgmentally clouded": Kill Uncle is a poor Morrissey record; Years of Refusal is a very good Morrissey record, the best of the three "comeback" releases. That is my opinion. And I am old enough to remember standing in line in the queue for the Wolvehampton gig listening to people complain how Viva Hate wasn't "as good as The Smiths." In fact, I remember people saying the same about Strangeways and every single and album release post-The Queen Is Dead. (Which is itself an over-rated record; The Smiths' Sgt. Pepper.) The point being... Morrissey fans like Morrissey songs. If you don't, there's not much point listening. Enjoy him while you can. He won't be here forever. And come to think of it, neither will we.
I think that was the point I was trying to make.
