Why is this insufferable buffoon on this list so much? Is this a goof? Somehow 90s Morrissey is no better than 80s Morrissey.
Meh
I am not a fan of Morrissey’s voice at all and that’s ignoring that he’s a POS outside of that. The music itself is ok, though.
Weak.
Nah. No thank you. Another example of an individual’s actions overshadowing their art.
Oh hey, we're back to the "entirely screw this dick" mines
No. Instead of listening to this, I caught up with Wild Is The Wind, which is massively better. I suppose I have to give this one star or my comments won't show.
Okay, Morrissey's a miserable racist shitbag, but I'll give this album a fair chance. 40 minutes later: Yeah, he's still a miserable racist shitbag. With bonus fatshaming in there too!
i cant get past you’re the one for me fatty
I don't like The Smiths, and I like Morrissey even less. He's a totally ambivalent personality—animal rights yes, nationalism yes, etc. But what's much more important to me is that his voice always kind of got on my nerves. It's no different here on "Your Arsenal." And he can forget about his bare-bellied nonsense, not to mention the microphone between his legs. That should really get at least five stars off, but he doesn't get one, except for the obligatory one. Get rid of that shit.
I refuse to give any royalties to this Asshat
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
1001 has been better at making me go from tolerate to hate some artists rather than introducing new artists. It's not horribly bad as far as songs and music but his voice is like eating cardboard. monotone, bland and manages to make a song sound way more boring than without his vocals. After a couple of albums I started to hate the cadences in his voice.
I have a very hard time believing anything Morrissey does post-Smiths comes anywhere near the vicinity of the word "essential". The prominent use of distorted guitar comes off like a desperate grasp at machismo. The final lines of "We'll Let You Know" ("We're the last British people you will ever know") are kinda xenophobic. There were one or two songs towards the end of the album the harkened back to The Smiths' sound, but not enough to impress. Fuck Morrissey.
Fuck Morrissey. But also this album wasn't good.
Terrible.
Far right bigot.
Who would have thought that such a misanthrope would end up being such a whiny, miserable bigot? I was never a big fan of The Smiths, but they had their moments. This, however, is the musical equivalent of the opinionated pub bore who has just been dumped and won't shut up about how it's anyone else's fault but their own. Sad, but not in the good way.
I never allowed myself to listen to this garbage and I'm glad I didn't.
I’ve heard Morrissey is a prick, but I wanted to give this a fair shake. I shouldn’t have - it sucks. This album no is terrible, the songs are bland and not notable at all. This is not a must listen and does not belong on this list.
Enough
If I could give it a zero I would. This could be the best, most beautiful music ever recorded. As always, fuck Morrissey.
Once again I question the rationale for including this in a must-listen list. He has no vocal range. The vocals are flat and monotone. The melodies are simplistic. The guitar strum on one song sounded like it came out of a beginner chord book and it never changed throughout the entire song. Is this some middle school music project?
Not a fan.
Where do you start with Morrissey.. the bin I find is the best place.
Repetitive. Loud. No thank you.
He can turn a lyric, old Stephen. He can do a melody too. But maybe it’s his attitudes. Should you judge art through the attitude of the artist? The gobshite’s gobshite? Or a genius whose truths are too high for muck like me? In any case this is a poor album from a guy who’s done much better. Vauxhall and I is the album. This is pap Or both? I’m not a fan, but I can’t deny the influence.
Not sure why this is on the list.
Just not a fan. I'm getting a neutered Velvet Underground vibe mixed with some Elvis fandom. Maybe some sex appeal for those interested, but it's all miserable and pretentious to me.
The man is a turd and makes my skin crawl.
I'm done. I got to "We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful." I don't know how anyone can listen to this dreck because Morrissey is the epitome of that kid in high school who thinks he's deep and empathetic but he's really just an asshole. Anyways, 0 stars, as with anything attached to Morrissey.
Im not gonna give Morrissey any clicks.
Well, I listened to it. Against my better judgment, I didn’t think it was steaming pile of misery wank. Some of it was quite passable. But Morrissey is an insufferable weirdo blert.
Hated it
80s x crooner = ugh
Not my cup of tea. I’ll try it again at a later time.
I have heard plenty of versions of this that it didn't interest me.
i was so indifferent to this and i am like king of the sad boi vibes could i write poetry to this? n
Shut the fuck up Morrissey
Shitty music by a pretentious racist prick. Straight garbage music. Zero stars if that was an option.
Not my style, but if it was the only thing, I force myself to try to listen.
Well, at least it's not just with The Smiths where Morrissey sings like a dying whale in front of a good band. Pretty puzzling to see people continuing to defend him in the reviews of his "Hey, I'm a racist piece of shit that also sucks at singing" album
At first I was thinking that this album wasn't nearly as bad as I expected, but then "We hate it when our friends became successful" came on: the lyrics, the voice, everything are so "poor me". I might give it 2 stars, but I'm rating it in the context of being in the top 1001 albums and it is definitely in the lowest quintile.
Bad sixth form poetry nonsense.
Nicht meine Richtung
Ummm. He’s an icon, but all I can take is about three songs. Too precious for me!
I hate Morrissey - he's a pretentious twat.
Every song sounds basically the same form of dull monotonous crap from a complete wanker of a human. Never liked The Smiths or his style, this isn't for me at all.
An entire album of the Morrissey sound.
Just loathe Morrissey
This guy does not deserve this many solo albums on this list. The smiths sure they’re not too bad but morrissey himself sucks. I recently watched the movie The Killer and in it the main character listens to the smiths and also kills people. Is it related? Most likely. Morrissey sucks and anyone that listens to him may be on the edge. This was at least better than the one where he just shits on everything for 40 minutes. 2.5/10
Boring. Didn't finish the album.
Heard of him, but not familiar with his music. Wasn't able to get through it, though, because I hear he's decided to be a horrible human. I'm on a 1001 album journey. There's no need for me to waste time on someone who I know is terrible. Nobody's perfect, but there's so many more albums! Moving on...
Hated it. Absolutely hated it
I was a little too late and a little too I to metal for Morrissey. Hearing this now, I would have been I to it for sure. This is legit a great record. Some dull spots here and there. (we'll let you know, certain people I know.) It would be a 4 for me. But fuck Morrissey. I totally get the shame fans feel as I have it too with Marilyn Manson. Why do these guys have to be such wankers? One star because of the man.
On the one hand, Morrissey spoke out for sensitive introverts with songs such as "Big Mouth Strikes Again," "Ask," and "How Soon Is Now?" But then he has to go and spoil it all with "You're the One for Me, Fatty," and being a big racist bellend.
Fck mrrssy
Wird im Verlauf immer unerträglicher.
😞
Nope sorry. Fuck Morrissey.
No.
nein!
At first I thought that this might be the album that finally clicked with me and Morrissey. It started out with some bangers that didn't feel like typical Morrissey. If this album ended after 2/3 of the way through, I would have given this at least 3 stars. But, in typical Morrissey fashion, he ruined it with his crooning in the final stretch. Alas, this is why I don't like his music.
Morrissey is a dicksplash. This is, at least, a slight diversion from the dull-as-ditchwater stuff he's spewed out on other albums. However, he's still whiney, and he's still a dicksplash.
Meh
Pass
fuck morrissey
Not really into this
i fucking hate morrissey https://www.towleroad.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/6a00d8341c730253ef01156e4e33e2970c.jpg
No, not listening to this. I have better things to do. Clean the toilet for example.
Nope. He can't sing, and is a Nazi, and isn't a good lyricist, and is a Nazi, and writes terrible music, and is a Nazi, and really puts the "pretentious" in "pretentious wanker", and also, and I can't stress this enough, is a Nazi. 0 🌟
This guy is fucking trash.
fuck morrissey
this album would get 4 or 5 stars if morrissey wasn’t a racist wanker
I could never stand Morrissey’s whiny voice, and this album is no exception. If anything, it has that extra “oh it’s so boring” factor to it.
I went into this fucking hating Morrissey. i listened to it...still fucking hate Morrissey
INSERT NOOSE HERE
A very weird choice. All feelings about this hideous man aside, he's released some great albums with and without The Smiths. Viva Hate; Vauxhall and I; You Are The Quarry - all really good and would be understandable inclusions on this list Your Arsenal isn't one of them
Morrissey is a bad person.
morrissey
Sorry can’t listen to this. Morrissey was never as good solo as he was with Marr, and his racism has spoilt him for me.
* I still hate morrissey
Pretty solid production and signs, I just hate Morrissey
shite
Ffs a 3rd morrisey album?
