Fuck Morrissey
I have concluded I do not like Morrissey’s voice.
Just awful whining to my ears. And then knowing the comments he has gone on to make, force this album straight into the fire pit of doom!
Oh god why - good music made by horrible person.
Nope. Not even gonna listen to this one. I detest his voice, stupid lyrical style, and all-round campy douchebag vibe. I have no reason to believe this album would offer up anything different to his regular wanker nonsense.
Vocal típico dos anos 80 que me irrita.
Fuck this guy, man. What a prick
- totally not my music 1/5 I guess
Utter ass, boring sadboi music
Not a bloody chance
Like the loud rockier numbers but the slower ballad song are pretty forgettable
Morrissey remains a cunt.
No bluffing. Copied and pasted below is my review of the last Morrissey album we had: "There are some songs on this album that I would like if someone else sang them. In my review of the last Morrissey solo album we were sent, I said his voice had worn on me by the time the Smiths blew up. Getting another Morrissey solo album so soon after the first is like rubbing vinegar in the wound. No way this brother should have two solo albums in the 1001. If he has a third it's getting a 1."
nooops
Wow, that’s dull
Fuck morissey
Why more Morrissey????
So dull.
"The More You Ignore Me, the Closer I Get" was released as a single a couple of weeks after I turned 14 and was my introduction to Morrissey. I did not like it. It became the only Morrissey song to chart in the US, which by extension meant it got a lot of play in Canada as well so I heard it a lot and liked it less each time. I dislike it even further now. "Hold on to Your Friends" was released a few months later and it did very little for me. I didn't dislike it as actively as I did the previous single, but I had pretty much zero interest in it. I found it generally boring and Morrissey sounded incredibly self-absorbed. These lousy first impressions led to me not even bothering to give The Smiths much of a chance when my best friend started to get into their music a few years later. I believe my response was something to the effect of, "Oh, is this that sadsack The More You Ignore Me idiot? Not interested!" A plus side of these negative first impressions has been that as it became increasingly obvious that Morrissey is a racist sanctimonious cock stain with fascist leanings I didn't face the heartbreak or turmoil some of my friends did around his legacy and music - particularly with The Smiths, whom I do look forward to finally giving a fair shake during the course of this project. As for Vauxhall and I, I'm fine if I never hear it again. It still sounds boring and self-absorbed.
Morrissey solo is such a profoundly disappointing experience. Then you go back and listen to the Smiths and think, good god, he really was the worst part of that band. Woeful album, this.
Boring record. I really dislike his voice and the lyrics are some of the cheesiest I’ve ever heard. Guitar harmonies are the only thing going for this.
Mercifully short. "The more you ignore me" has some small merit, but the rest of this appears to be tosh wrapped up in boredom and melancholy. It would be remiss of me not to point out what an asshole Morrissey is.
Could not care less about this. Uninspired output from an uninspiring artist. Morrissey is grossly over represented on this list and it's so disappointing when he pops up.
when the maudlin poet turns out to be a manipulative psychopath. fuck this faux-miserabilist bullshit
No intention of listening to this cunt ever again
I don't 'get' Morrissey. He sounds so unhappy. Who would have thought that such a misery would turn out to be a massive misanthrope? I find the music here formulaic, and a little ploddy (apart from the chainsaw bit, which woke me up). As much as I feel I should try to follow Morrissey's wordplay, I am so put off by him as a person that I just don't have the energy. The Smiths were interesting and different at the time, but 10 years later, surely the shy, awkward young man had moved on? As I never fully bought into him at the time, it seems easy to walk away and devote time to people who have a bit more interest in the world outside themselves. We cannot cling to the old dreams anymore. Apparently.
This man is not for me.
I've had two Morrissey albums and one Smiths album. And if I've learned anything from this, it's that without Matt's slinking guitar and tempering influence, Morrissey goes from a sensitive wit to a fat, narcissistic, reactionary bigot with a pub rock band which I can only assume is made from the National Front (disco) members who lacked the talent to get onto the talentless Skrewdriver. My relationship with Moz is so tainted that while I barely eat meat these days, and for almost the same ethical reasons he doesn't, on the occasions I do tuck into a steak, almost in prayer before I chow down, I smile to myself and say, "F*ck you, Stephen," and enjoy it a little more.
I couldn't make it through the entire album, I was bored out of my mind. This music sucks.
Won't be listening to this racist.
Morrissey sucks
"Used to be a sweet boy And I'm not to blame But something went wrong Something went wrong And I know I can't be to blame" These lyrics pretty much sum up Morrissey's world view and who he is these days. A racist, insufferable asshole. I listened to this full album per the exercise and it's whatever, standard post-Smiths mostly forgettable Morrissey. The Smiths were amazing but he's a piece of shit and I can't be bothered with his solo work. No standout tracks.
Honestly if this was anyone else, it would be a decent album. But I absolutely despise Morrissey, and this album doesn't do much to change my opinion.
Meh.
Please stop giving me morrisey!
Idk if recently learning that Morrissey is an asshole had something to do with it, but anyways, this album was a huge disappointment. I don't remember any song or remarkable thing about it, aside from them being bad. Also, his voice is particularly more annoying here than in his Smiths' albums.
Not a chance I am listening to that Nazi prick - he has no place in this list, mostly because of his shit music - he just can't sing, or write good lyrics - but also because, and I can't stress this enough, he is a terrible conspiracy theorist and racist.
It’s the 7th time Morrissey and/or The Smiths come up here for me. Come on, surely this world has other music makers than this annoying whiny voice?
Fuck morrissey
Made it through two songs. Pretentious awfulness
God Morrissey sucks. STOP making me listen to his albums, they’re not good!
I'm sorry but I really dislike his monotone voice and generic sound. This was so boring and depressing. If you like Emo anthems, you'll enjoy this.
Leider nicht hinbekommen Stress grade aber ka ist Morrissey deshalb 1
Fuck Morrissey
If I never hear another Morrissey song again I will be okay.
I don’t need to listen to this to know that it’s putrid
Eccch
Can't get into this.
Not sure what the big deal is.
not a fan of morrissey much since he's a bit of a dick. only liked a couple of songs by him
Just not my thing.
