Here's what I think of the new songs (just my opinion!):
All the Young People Must Fall in Love - it's jovial, got a great vocal melody, and it's funny. Classic, lengthy title and stomping, emotional lyric. Also, it's like a thinly-veiled 'f***-Trump' and I'm all about that, so...
Home Is a Question Mark - ahhhhhhh, it's such a sweet tune. Guitar-playing is magic, and the verse where he speaks is my favourite part of any of the new songs. It feels so genuine, and once again, it's a brilliant melody. Goes to show that unlike on World Peace... where shock was king, he can still entertain with gentility. Not sure about the weird fellatio reference, but we'll see how it works on the LP...
I Wish You Lonely - don't miiiiiind it, but the vocal melody (usually one of Morrissey's strongest abilities, imho) is unmemorable I think. Quite like the plodding, feedback-y guitars though. Think the studio cut will do it justice!
Jacky's Only Happy When She's Up on the Stage - I think this song is excellent. Reminds me of Morrissey at his snarky best à la Get off the Stage. I love the whole image of the tactless singer battling hordes of the unwilling, desperate (but crucially unable) to leave. I think it's really funny and I love the vocal melody too; the way the title lyric changes throughout is really fun... and that snarling moment with the grungy bass that drives through the mix - fantastic.
My Love, I'd Do Anything for You - I'm reserving judgement for the album recording; the classic rock riffage is really weird and I don't know how I feel about it yet...
When You Open Your Legs - a fantastic melody, and my personal favourite (so-far) of Morrissey's Spanish-flavoured songs. It's funny and I found the Maida Vale performance quite sad for that reason - after all that stupid UKIP shite, I pined for the funny man of years past, and when he announced this to be a song 'about cycling', I died. It reminded me he can be amusing without being shocking, when he tries.
Spent the Day in Bed - I think it's pretty poor. I can't help but think of Trev and Simon, and as much as I love bright keyboards normally, I find the whole vaudeville buoyancy of the thing intensely irritating. The obvious rhymes at the end feel naff and I just can't get behind the whole ethic of the thing. It's not as offensive as World Peace... but I just don't like it.
