A unique work of geniusI remember getting this album when it first came out, a bit nervously. And when Speedway ended I jumped up and cheered in an empty room, unable to stop myself. It wasn't the Smiths. It didn't matter.The sound and the lyrics are strange, detached -- Morrissey tells the stories but doesn't live in them the way he did on Meat is Murder, for example -- and yet compelling. The professional outsider tells his stories with sympathy and intelligence and passion. We end with the most affecting moment of…
The beginning of the end?While not necessarily unlistenable, this was nowhere near the quality of the previous, Your Arsenal. "My Heart is Full," and "The More You Ignore Me" are the few great tracks while the rest of the album attempts perky popness while coming off palid and boring. Phone home, my man.
