Amazon.com For a while back there, it seemed like Morrissey had nothing left to say. With the Smiths he marvelously guided all the messed up youth of the world through the everyday savages of adolescence, seemingly turning out classics like "The Boy With the Thorn in His Side" and "How Soon Is Now?" between sips of tea. By the time the '90s arrived, Morrissey seemed stuck in an unbearably boring rockabilly rut, turning out records like Southpaw Grammar and Maladjusted. The light had gone out. Seven years in the making, however, his seventh solo album, You Are the Quarry, feels like a rush of blood to the head. It's not a full-blown return to form but it sure feels right. Fired up politically and socially, Morrissey is no longer taking on the problems in the bedroom but the world at large, lashing out gracefully with standout tracks like "Irish Blood, English Heart" and "America Is Not the World." The sound is big, brash, and faintly familiar. Most importantly, the charm is back, even when he sings something as ludicrous and stupid as "All the Lazy Dykes." At least we know his heart's still beating. --Aidin Vaziri Similar CDs

CD ReviewsIT'S HARD TO BE GOOD Luis Henrique | Recife, PE Brazil | 03/09/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I'm a Smiths fan since my teen years (now I'm 37)and after they split-up I continued to follow Morrissey's work with interest. I still listen to The Smiths music: although I'm not a rabid fan, I simply didn't "grow out of it" as some might expect because it was relevant for my formative years and STILL IS, and I think Morrissey is still holding the torch, and always fought bravely not to let it die away. I simply marvel at the harshness of some critics in denouncing the "sillyness" of some songs here, or the fact that his new record isn't "ground breaking" there. Please, understand my point: I'm not saying that Morrissey is beyond critics (in fact, I believe an important part of his personal history was marked by failure, misunderstanding and criticism), but, in a time when we see the complete mediocrity of what's in the music charts... give me a break!! The more I see these nobodies hailed as relevant, ground-breaking, revelation, etc. I can only look back to groups like the Smiths and thank God for Morrissey being still active and creative. He makes mistakes? Surely yes, who doesn't? But then again, how many is faring really better? Being REALLY relevant to anyone? Britney Spears? Eminen? Snoopy whatsoever? one of those stupid boys bands? Think about it!"
