    Morrissey has been 'treading water' now for so long it can only be a matter of time before he goes under. This album contains some of his laziest songwriting and an absence of anything approaching a really memorable tune.

    Dull and underwhelming although histerically busy and all over the place with exactly zero memorable songs that work from start to finish (the closest thing to decent songwriting here is 'Istanbul').And my God those lyrics...so forced,artless and banal-is this the same man once called the greatest living lyricist in pop music?And why on Earth this gay man hates women that much?Dull and underwhelming although histerically busy and all over the place with exactly zero memorable songs that work from start to finish (the closest thing to decent songwriting here is 'Istanbul').And my God those lyrics...so forced,artless and banal-is this the same man once called the greatest living lyricist in pop music?And why on Earth this gay man hates women that much? Anyway,funboys will love it and critic won't give half a bad press deserved because,you know,it's Morrissey but I'm not deaf neither dog from the cover art.He finally turned himself into self-parody.… Expand

    Will this self righteous prick Morrissey ever learn that simply mouthing off about the world's wrongs and blaming the government is not actually going to help anyone or change anything. He obviously only cares about spreading his morbid pessimism. And it's a shame because his voice is better than ever.

    By far one of his worst albums. I couldn't even finish some songs to their ending time because they just were so awful. To the guy saying You Are The Quarry was bad... well sir you are wrong.

    By and large, the more substantial the lyric the more layered and complex the musical arrangement.

    The good (and bad) news for people who love bad (and good) news: Both groups will be delighted and appalled by this record. [No. 112, p.51]

    The biggest problem is Morrissey himself, who sounds like he’s trying to be clever rather than actually demonstrating that infamously razor-sharp wit.
