Morrissey
As the lead singer of the Smiths, arguably the most important indie band in Britain during the '80s, Morrissey's theatrical crooning and literate, poetic lyrics -- filled with romantic angst, social alienation, and cutting wit -- connected powerfully with a legion of similarly sensitive, disaffected youth. These fans turned The Smiths into stars in Britain, exerting tremendous pull over much of the country's guitar-based music for many years after their breakup, and even if the group remained underground cult artists in the States, they had a fanbase that slowly, stea...[more]

All the heavy lifting of his comeback finished, Morrissey settles into a robust middle age on Years of Refusal, an evocation of his thick Your Arsenal sound that doesn't feel like a conscious re-creation -- rather, this just is who Moz is, an old brawler who refuses to hang up his gloves or settle a grudge.

VINYL FORMAT. "Your Arsenal is the most direct - and outwardly directed - statement [Morrissey] has made since disbanding the Smiths. Buoyed by the conversational grace of his lyric writing, Morrissey rides high atop this album's rip-roaring guitar tide. Your Arsenal admits a blast or two of less rarefied musical air, and it works wonders. "You're Gonna Need Someone on Your Side" is not only one blitzkrieg bop of an opening cut, it aggressively sets Morrissey's new interpersonal age [ read more ]
