I cannot claim to be excited about the forthcoming Morrissey album. The reasoning for this is the majority of songs I have heard haven't grabbed my attention in the slightest.
I thoroughly enjoyed the song “That’s how people grow up†the message being conveyed within the confines of the song is very sincere and educational to the thousands of lonely hearts who hold Morrissey in high adulation. The guitar playing and effects in use did not comprise of melodramatic and sophisticated composition that has ruined a number of Morrissey's songs.
“All you need is me†is a nonentity to me; I don't like the song, the lyrical content has inconsequential meaning to me, personally. The music is dreary and uninspiring to say the least. “I’m throwing my arms around Parisâ€ÂÂ, “Something is squeezing my skull†have both been average singles, average in terms of Morrissey's capabilities. If these singles were released by Chris Martin they’d be considered idyllic symphonies composed and constructed by a man with limited talent who really struck gold. However by Morrissey's standards these songs are distinctly average.
Years of Refusal is a good name for an album, but I'm not entirely sure what the context of the album is about. I have just read the song track titles and they sound quintessentially English (fantastic) but they do not inspire me to conclude that these songs will be better than Dagenham Dave and Glamorous Glue, for example.
