I'll be there for CD and Single, Morrissey has great b-sides

That reminds me that I never got his last CD. I was so pissed off about the release of a second Deluxe Edition of You Are the Quarry so soon after the first Deluxe Edition (reissue! repackage!) that I didn't want to make the same mistake again. I guess that I've waited long enough. :)

Is that a scar on his arm, under the baby?

it's a mystery

What's that on the baby's forehead?

Jacko approves of this cover.

I'm sure all the questions and comments people are going to make about this cover is exactly what Moz wants.

A sexually ambiguous middle aged man on the cover holding a male baby between the legs?

It's gonna get press.

I loved Morrissey's last two albums, so this is a no brainer. And I can't wait for the chance to see him live again.

I have heard that his fans can get a little ahh "excited" when he plays live.

Yes do not get in the way of cetain male fans in the front row of a Morrissey concert. They will trample you for a chance to touch their idol.

I've only seen him once, and while the crowd was certainly excited, I wouldn't say it was a riot or anything.

Word. The man delivers when it comes to a live show. I've seen him only four times and I'll see him everytime he comes to my city from this point on.

I loved the songs I heard from Ringleader of the Tormentors, but never bought the cd. I'll probably buy it and this new one at the same time.

Anyone get this yet? I like it a lot. It's Not Your Birthday Anymore is probably the track I like best.

Re: Morrissey - Years of Refusal Feb 2009
 

I think this could be his strongest album.

Re: Morrissey - Years of Refusal Feb 2009
 

I got it and like it quite a bit.

'Something is Squeezing my Skull' is a great opener. 'Mama Lay Softly on the Riverbed' and 'All You Need is Me' are also highlights and 'I'm Throwing my Arms around Paris' is a nice choice for the lead single.

I do think the album loses a little steam in the last 2-3 tracks, but it's still highly recommended and I'm looking forward to seeing him live in NJ on March 16th.

That's interesting. I think the last 2 tracks are among the strongest on the album, especially the last one.

Re: Morrissey - Years of Refusal Feb 2009
 

Am surprised by that. I saw him here at the Paramout in Oakland, and the gays were rushing the stage. Especially after he took his shirt off.

The Gay Mexicans were out of control

and the mexicans were just wild.

It was a great show. He seemed to be on first name basis with half of the front row.

I'm sure this has been mentioned somewhere on DVDTalk already, but Amazon has the MP3 album for $3.99 right now.

I'm probably going to buy the MP3 album and the vinyl version.

Best Mozzer album since "Vauxhall and I", IMO.

Re: Morrissey - Years of Refusal Feb 2009
 

Morrissey just cancelled all his Florida shows (I was supposed to see him in Boca Raton on Saturday). The cause is "illness".

Re: Morrissey - Years of Refusal Feb 2009
 

He better be well on April 10th. The first time I saw him here in Ft Worth, he'd scheduled like 5 gigs in Texas and he canceled the next 4 after the one I saw due to "illness", too.

Re: Morrissey - Years of Refusal Feb 2009
 

Okay, I do like this new recording, but there is something that slightly nags at me from all his 00's work. I kind of miss some of the more mellow sounds from some of his Smiths and 80's/90's solo work. I love hard driving rock songs in various forms, but I've decided I like Moz best when the music is just a touch prettier.

I loved the cd when it came out... then I drove 250 miles to see the atlanta show only to find out that it was cancelled at the last minute (only 5 hours before doors were to open!)... since then I've had a hard time enjoying the music on this cd... call it sour grapes - call it just looking at it with different eyes... still love a few of the songs but not so much some of the others...
