Biography:

Steven Patrick Morrissey (born 22 May 1959), known primarily as Morrissey, is an English singer-songwriter. He rose to prominence in the 1980s as the lyricist and vocalist of the alternative rock band The Smiths. The band was highly successful in the UK but broke up in 1987, and Morrissey began a solo career, making the top ten of the UK Singles Chart in the United Kingdom on ten occasions. Widely regarded as an important innovator in indie music, Morrissey has been described by music magazine NME as "one of the most influential artists ever," and The Independent has stated that "most pop stars have to be dead before they reach the iconic status that he has reached in his lifetime."Pitchfork Media has called him "one of the most singular figures in Western popular culture from the last 20 years."

Morrissey's lyrics have been described as "dramatic...bleak, funny vignettes about doomed relationships, lonely nightclubs, the burden of the past and the prison of the home." He is also noted for his unique vocal style. His forthright, often contrarian opinions, especially on the subject of race, have led to a number of media controversies, and he has also attracted media attention for his advocacy of vegetarianism and animal rights.

Brilliant album, went to Hull in 2009 to see him after the release of this album, I was in Leeds just over 2 weeks ago to see him aswel, and Manchester 2006, I love the guy his song writing is 2nd to none and hopefully we'll eventually get bonfire of teenagers if capitol records releases it.

[fredmisiaszek]

It's a strange thing that a lot of really nice people don't know Morrissey....Crazy

[JoeStunner]

For me, his best album of the last twenty years.

[AudioPervert]

Yea.. years of punk, years of refusal .. But Im doing very well... the royalties are coming in ever since the mid 1980s .. something I can barely describe .. Yes there's love in modern life ...

[iritisband]

[stevonub]

Perfect start to a album and a epic last song which alot of people can relate to, including myself. This tour was one of my favorites from him.

[jamieward]

[ricovato]

[rulersdave]

Where this ranks in the hierarchy of his solo albums is a subject that could spurn on endless debates (personally I think its very high on that list) but in terms of cover art, this might be his best work yet!

[tomimpala]

The first album of Morrissey's that I'd listened to all the way through. After listening to just about everything, I can say this is his best album. It's consistent, but not same-y. There's raw emotion and punch to very open and intimate subjects. It's right up there with Vauxhall and I for me.

[rickdonaldson]

His most Rockin' LP after the Smiths.

[grahamtweed]

He does do a good sing that seems to mean something or other. This is a fine example, although some other songs are funnier than others. You have to admire him a bit, and sing along if you get the chance.

[mordantfilms]

Sounds like he's been listening to GBV. Sounds pretty damn good.
