Just being very clear that giving 1992 Morrissey 5 stars in no way condones 2023 Morrissey.
I wonder if he can remember the person that produced this charming, knowing, clever album ?

Well this easily ranks as equal to the worst thing I’ve had. I’m not going to listen twice, otherwise my streaming service will think I like it.
The ones that weren’t terrible all sounded the same.
And the lyrics, don’t really reflect attitudes of modern society.
It’s a one because there isn’t a zero stars. Why isn’t there a zero stars ?

With how much Mr West has been in the news recently I approached this with some apprehension. So I’m pleased to report that although there were some very good bits much of the music was average with a tendency to being disjointed and derivative. The lyrics were uncomfortable with a strong flavour of personal victimhood and conspiracy thinking.

Alongside other examples of the genre from the same time, this sounds like a parody - the music is repetitive and dull, the lyrics vacuous, and the posturing just designed to appeal to early teenage boys..
As things turned out, the ‘don’t give up the day job’ advice was unnecessary.

There’s been some really good hip hop come up on this list, but, this really isn’t one of those. It’s dreary, unimaginative, posturing.
It’s like the death metal equivalent of rap, more for effect than for music. And like death metal I expect this to be mainly popular with 15 year old boys.
And why do only women get to sing ? Why aren’t males allowed to sing ?

The music follows a straightforward formula, which isn’t a problem - that’s the same for the rap and the metal. And within that the songs are really good.
It’s the lack of agency that the women have in the songs that troubles me, nearly always the victim and never in control.
If you want to understand why feminism was necessary, then listen to this.

This is what you would get from a clockwork rap album producing machine - it is completely predictable, dull and includes the obligatory fly on the wall segment in the middle which explodes into argument and threats to show how authentic they are - exactly as every other rap album of the era does.

There’s a lot of reviews on here saying how generic this is - but that’s because after this came out everyone wanted to sound like this.
John Mayall sadly died a few weeks ago but his influence in reimagining and popularising blues music was immense.
And this album is great.
Sadly, Eric Clapton is a jerk in real life.

So if you had a clockwork country and western style album making machine this is just what it would produce. It’s unadventurous, predictable, mawkish and mildly misogynistic.
It’s not bad, but instantly forgettable, and if it committed a crime you’d never pick it out of a line up.
