I understand why you can’t leak it or why you wouldn’t want to but is there any chance of you recording a clip of something on you phone, for example and putting it up here? It’s pathetic I know but we’re an impatient bunch.
Just listened to I Am Not A Dog On A Chain in full

Under no circumstances, sorry. I feel bad enough about posting out-of-context lyric snippets!

No problem, I understand. Thanks anyway, for all your thoughts/opinions on the album.

Thanks very much for sharing your thoughts on this, lutewhine - most interesting. Especially since we seem of a similar opinion on his previous work (eg Israel, Maladjusted, Trouble Loves Me, album rankings etc). I personally don't mind the 80s synths (up to a point) but the tacky Space Invader sounds that Gustavo/Chiccarelli seem so fond of really grate on me and seem only to be there to detract from a lack of ideas. It's the lack of decent tunes I really despair of, though, as well as the cringeworthy lyrics with clunking cheesy/peasy rhymes. From what you're saying, this seems like a mixed bag on the lyric front. However, it sounds like this is a less 'political' album? Which, if so, has to be a blessing all round.
One further thought: you say the synths sound like they're there to make a point. I can't help wondering whether this is some sort of oblique stab at Johnny, who must have irked his ego no end by performing/singing Smiths songs lately with 'Who needs Morrissey anyway?' swagger - ie a 'who needs guitarists anyway?' riposte. Yes, I know he loved Sparks, and there are many other, probably more plausible reasons, but still.

If "Israel" is your benchmark gem on LIHS, then one man's ceiling is another man's floor...it's your personal opinion...I have been unable to listen to LIHS after track 4.

Sounds like, though, as I thought, we are being fed the click bait, with better songs with deeper lyrics still on the album.

It's wowe! (I wonder what Stephen McHattie would make of it?)
There was at some point last year a rumor that Johnny & Bernard were considering to revive Electronic. So this is Morrissey thinking "Why on earth would you need Electronic? All you need is ME". I like the idea of it being his Sparks-inspired record though.
