Ugh, Morrissey again. Like the Smiths, hate Morrissey, and this began his Marr-less record string. This one was especially Morrissey-y - whiny and pretentious with a lot of bitterness. Plus it gets the Morrissey penalty of -1 points.

Not my style

You know what. I can't even be bothered.

Morrissey is a twat. I'm boycotting this album, because Morrissey is a twat. Now don't get me wrong, I like the Smiths, they had some belters, I've got a lot of time for them, but Morrissey was a twat then too. He had a couple of big hits off this effort, which are fine and do a good job, but at the end of the day, when all is said and done, Morrissey is a twat. I would give it three stars, but I'm knocking two of them off because, well, you know, Morrissey is a twat. #MorrisseyIsATwat

Absolute self indulgent rubbish. No stars if possible.

Morrissey can eat my dick. Too bad he’s a vegan and won’t shut the fuck up about it.

Eat a bag of dicks Morrissey

Morrissey is a pompous whining loser.

It's not clear to me exactly why I hate Morrissey, but it's like nails on a chalkboard for me. Ugh, just fucking stop.

fuck you morrissey

I tried, i really did. This is my 3rd Morrissey album and i really hate the man, his voice, hit lyrics, his music and his politics. Im 300 albums in and ive genuinely listened to each one. After 2 tracks i realised that as much as i want to be disciplined in this process, there are better uses of my time than being tortured by this bigoted, self involved wanker.

Mais uma chance para reafirmar que o cara é chato pra caramba. Nem vou me desculpar.

Quite a fitting name for this album as I hate this piece of shit and his singing voice like nothing else

I never liked the Smiths because I found them depressing, and felt that Morrissey was pretentious twat. Musically this album is OK, but Morrissey's whining vocals, which seem to be for a different album, ruin it for me, heaven knows how miserable I felt while listening to this album.

In my mind a worried mix between industrial, synth-pop, brit-pop and some singer-songwriter. I didn't now Morrisey, and as I see, I don't miss a thing.

Just dogshit

I wanted to slit my wrists but I got too depressed to move.

Spare me.

Un pop-soul meloso y espantoso. Careta y superficial,

Racist

Morrissey is a butt

Was not a fan of the Smiths and i think i see why

If I could give a zero

What a wanker

*weary sigh* I only had The Smiths 2 days ago and had to reference what a total helmet Morrissey turned out to be. So more of the same but without Marr, Rourke and Joyce isn't what I needed right now. Still enjoyed Suedehead, but the rest? Shrug.

Seichtester alternative Rock.

Not a Morrissey fan

I was just thinking this morning about how much of a shitbag Morrissey is, imagine that. Yeah I don't like this in the slightest. The Smiths have some lyrical powerhouses, but Johnny Marr's songwriting prowess is always what I came for in the end, and without that, even the best Morrissey lines fall flat over this dull 80s soft rock. Also, Everyday is Like Sunday gives me retail flashbacks, so it's all in the gutter for me.

Morrissey needed Johnny Marr’s jangly guitar in the Smiths to balance out his morose and “woe is me” lyrics. Now, post-Smiths Morrissey is just mopey and pretending to be spoken word poetry about death and sadness. Granted, he might have been a major influence on 90s/early 2000s emo, but at least they had the good sense to have actual melody. If you ever meet a diehard Morrissey fan, run.

That’s a no for me dawg. 1 star. I couldn’t get through it. Just felt so whiny- I hear babies crying enough during the day now, don’t want it on my music too. Ouch, burn, sorry Morrissey.

Bash the fash

I could not get past the monotonous voice and melancholy lyrics on this album.

Morrisey is a cunt, his voice appears way too much on this list

1/5. I don't care on a good day about the Smiths, hard to feel anything listening to this. It's boring at the best of times. There are some catchy beats and the guitar work is impressive in some songs but I can't get the hype about Morrissey. I wish I related more but I don't. The last song is funny though, but that's all I can credit it.

J'aime pas des sons trop court et pas ouf

Blijkbaar is dit de zanger van The Smiths, en dat hoor je. Ik kan er gewoon echt niet aan wennen, dan jaren '80 kopstem gejengel. Ik twijfel zeer tussen 1 en 2 sterren, en weet je wat, we doen gewoon 1.

Can’t get into this. Just like the Smiths, it does not go well through my ears. Too soft, just not feeling it.

ugh. Its so melodramatic and emo, and he is SUCH an asshole. 1/5

NAHHHHH THIS AIN't it......

Not my style at all to say the least. 80s punk vocals mixed with cheesy radio lyrics. No Thanks.

Too much morrissey, couldn’t enjoy

Un tanto anodino. Muchas canciones iguales. No tiene mala voz, pero lo veo demasiado insulso

Never liked his solo stuff as much as the Smiths

Ouf J'aime pas le personnage. Trop à droite pour moi, j'ai juste entendu parler de lui pour ses positions politiques et ses annulations dernière minute... J'ai écouté la première face pis c'est pas bon

Mauvais. Il chante de façon désintéressée. Les chansons ne vont nul part.

cant do it fuck morrissey

You know, this probably isn't bad but... Morrissey is just such a cunt that it's pretty impossible to go into this with an open mind. Fuck off, Morrissey

Morrissey's preoccupation with a halcyon Britain largely of his own imagining was mildly disquieting even in the heyday of the Smiths - hinting at a social and political alignment at odds with that of many of his admirers. This album marks the point at which he started to say the quiet part out loud - as was obvious to many when it was released, despite the efforts of his apologists to explain away its questionable aspects. Whatever he intended with its title, it reads today as a declaration of intent. Yeah yeah yeah, but shouldn't we distinguish between the artist and his work? Fortunately we can sidestep that thorny issue, because this album, Mozza's first without the benefit of Marr's guitar, amounts to no more than a couple of lukewarm singles and a wodge of nondescript filler.

Ugh again?

Il suo stile è talmente brutto che a tratti lo trovo affascinante. Comunque sarebbe un bel disco da 1 ma l’ultimo pezzo in cui dice che vuole uccidere la thatcher gli fa guadagnare un punto. Bengali è veramente una canzone assurda. No mentre scrivevo sono ripartiti alcuni pezzi, il voto è 1.

Morrissey is an insufferable talentless cunt

Morrissey is one of those people I can't separate from the music. All I can think about when listening to him is how he sounds like a shitty version of The Cure mixed with Joy Division. The Smiths will always be what comes to mind when I hear the words "domestic abuser." Not that he's a domestic abuser, but if there were ever a soundtrack to domestic abuse, it would be The Smiths.

don't like

I'm surprised Morrissey managed to keep his career afloat after recording this first solo album.

Meh, George Michael was better

Was let down after I realized Morrisey was not Van Morrison. I like one of those two and it isn't Morrisey.

Bad bad
