More of a history than a review. He does call HSIN a gem tho

Seemed like he had a lot to say at the beginning and suddenly he was done. Not very enlightening. I dislike his idea that they started to repeat themselves and thus crashed and burned. The changes over their short career are quite evident and I think they still had much more to give.

A bit fancy free with the facts. Wasn't 'This Charming Man' the first 'hit', not 'What Difference...' And Johnny Marr didn't write for 'Record Mirror' it was Morrissey himself.
