Looks like most people agree that Morrissey's comeback could have been so much more. He never chooses the right songs for his albums, b-sides, and singles. Just about every album from 'The Smiths' to 'Years of Refusal' could have received more critical acclaim, sold more, and increased his overall popularity if only the right songs were in their track lists. 'You Are The Quarry' had so many songs to choose from, and I can't help but wonder how some of the weaker tunes of the session made it onto the album.
Personally, I think it's unacceptable that 'Swords' is full of outstanding songs. It just shows how incompetent Morrissey can be in his song selection for his studio albums.
Oh well, he'll never learn.
But nobody can agree on which songs should have been included and, imo, some of the nominated songs (I am Two People, Teenage Dad, IHTWTWYS etc.) are only vaguely popular because they haven't been heard that much. If they had been included on an album then they would have been comfortably the weakest songs.
