I was a reporter for 30 years and always tried to be fair given the deadline restrictions I was under. I never thought I was part of "the media." I was just a guy with a low-paying job. No one ever told me what to write nor how to write. Some folks here on this site wish to lump all the press...
Certainly I'm not an expert on new music. So the reviewers probably have a wider context from which to judge what's happening on the music scene. But I know what I like. And I think the low marks (for the most part) for IANADOAC are way way off base. For god's sake even my KIDS are streaming it...
Funny! Just looked closely at the "Stereo" logo on the front of LIHS. Beneath it in small type is written "For the man who has nothing." As a relative newcomer to the Morrissey world, perhaps this is a running joke of some kind??
I like the songs the more I listen to them. The highest praise, I suppose, comes from my 17 year old who said, "I don't absolutely hate it." Which for any of my music is as close to an endorsement as one gets.
I wonder whether the video was shot before the final mixdown of the single? All those guitars! The guys are seen thrashing on their guitars but there is little or no guitar audible on the actual single. They could have shot the video in a way that would involve Boz and Jesse but with less guitar...
Perhaps this was covered in an earlier comment (I haven't read them all) but I sure hope that whatever the actual story is about the cancellation that the band gets paid regardless, for this show and the rescheduled one. Maybe the band ought to see if some company offers cancellation insurance...
Good art means pushing buttons and boundaries. It is not tailored for the masses. So if these issues are what motivate Mr. Moz these days, I can disagree with the views whilst appreciating the art that comes out.
