Given Morrissey's later views, it is very hard to know if tracks such as National Front Disco should be read as satirical or sympathetic. It is disappointing to see Morrissey's decline as a meaningful figure in contemporary music, because his ability to find talented musicians and producers to work with post-Smiths was exemplary as this album shows. It fair bops along with excellent guitar work with Morrissey's lyrics and delivery as impish and sarcastic as ever. Dare I say this - am I starting to enjoy more Morrissey solo albums than Smiths albums? Can this be right?
