It's just nice to hear Morrissey doing something new after thirty years, and it's still good.

I liked I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris but the rest of the album really disappointed me. Why must the band play really loud, stodgy pub rock for every song? It made me think about songs like Hold On To Your Friends and I Won't Share You and long for a touch of subtlety. Remember how classy Break Up The Family was? The songwriting (excluding lyrics) on this record is generally uninspired. Maybe this kind of music is what Morrissey wants, but I can't help thinking his talents are being wasted with him yelping over a boring rock band.

I'm going to have to eat my words on this one. The production isn't the best, sure, but don't judge this one until you listen to the CD, because ALL of the rips suck a lot. It actually sounds better than Ringleader. As for the content, it's lively. The bass is lively, the tunes are great, not as great as most of You Are the Quarry, but close. Moz's voice sounds young and strong ("renewed strength"), not old and frail like on Ringleader. The lyrics are perhaps a little more aggressive than in the past, but it's not a bad thing. As for the general sound, lots of rock influence and general loudness, so that's a little different. That's where I think most might have a problem. This is a great record I won't be forgetting about, personally.

Also I agree with borntohang below. Jesse Tobias fucked up the record.

My God, the band playing behind Morrissey is really so bad. The drummer is the worst I've ever heard. They just play loud and bad, like an old 'hard rock boys band'. Or is it due to the bad production? It is just pathetic. Ringleaders of the Tormentors was such a great record... and then... this one... ?!

I hate this production as well. Loudness war up the ass. Range, guitars, vocals, and even drums suffer. If you think Death Magnetic sounds good, perhaps you haven't heard much Metallica? Good thrash metal sounds more raw and clear rather than one big, consistently loud muddy buzz. Check out the Guitar Hero mix, srsly.
