Thanks to a promo copy arriving earlier than I thought, I'm very pleased to tell you that this Cd is great.
I'm hoping theres some more great things on the Dvd as a little bonus for the 16th Feb release of YEARS OF REFUSAL
So the 1st track is a new live favourite from the shows he's done in the past few months, and the list of pharmaceuticals he cites reminds me off bumbling round Bangkok with my best mate Mick at 5am after Diazaepam & Mohito partys last year!
Track 2 is another fave from the live shows, quite dark...sounds a bit like Maladjusted era Moz...'safe & sheltered in our graves'.
Track 3, I'm sure will be played near the start of his new tour, it's got some keys running through it & some nice strumming.
If you are watching him sing this live later in the year
get ready to catch the shirt he throws into the crowd!!!
Track4 the mellow Paris song, another one thats been doing the rounds for some time at his live shows, this will be a single for sure a great song from a great songwriter.
Track5 we know this from the Best of that came out earlier in the year,
a self loving ,Cocky swagger of a song.
Some thumping bass, this song is GREAT
'you don't like me but you love me;
either way you're wrong,
you're gonna miss me when I'm gone'
What a tombstone carving that would be !!!
Track6 reminds you of the real 50's types of song that the Last Shadow Puppets off did'nt quite capture for me...
And like the Carol in this song Im a child of 1975. Nice brass section at the end & thumping drums.
There will be Flamenco dancing in the Streets on rainy Salford.
Track7 again from the best off cd, a true great Moz track....
It spoke volumes to me this song, and I have truly grown up now.
Thankyou Moz.
Track8 follows on very well from 7, kind of like a reprise of the subject matter,
This song added to the volumes that track 7 spoke...again with a great bit of brass at the end.
Track9 at the moment is my favourite song on the album, it's like he has been hurt & has picked himself back up & will not be hurt again.
All the gifts that they gave can't compare in any way to the love I am now giving to you,
right here,
right now,
on the floor.
Go on the Moz !!! You saucy devil.
The Piercing effects meets that Moz wail...
and this is the amazing result of that meeting.
The splash of the cymbals at the end is awesome.
On Track10 he brings the mood right down, you could have heard a pin drop the 1st time I heard this song. Your aware that there's only two songs left, but I wish this one could have lasted more & there were less effects & more Moz at the end of the track.
Track11 & he is lamenting the loss of his teenage years, or is he ?
I'm sure he would feel a lot more happier now, I know I do
so lets Live & Let live Moz.
Track12....the final track, he's telling us he is ok....
No matter what we think he's a big lad & he can look after himself.
Im sure this will be played live just before he does an encore.
Roll on the live shows in 09, Roll on the Dvd...
& Just Roll up & Listen to The Moz !!!!
Just keep Writing songs like this please Morrissey.
Thankyou !!!!!
