Maybe something was lost in the English to German back to English translation. Nothing really new here, Moz has grown particularly inarticulate in his old age. Every interview dwells too much on politics and the evil media. What evah happened to soliloquies into loneliness, isolation and...
My problem with the new song is the lack of wit and strong melody. You can hum First of the Gang, the More you Ignore me or even You have killed me. This one I can't. You do get the hint of melody but it truncates before it gets going. There's an unwanted rush to the limp chorus that annoys...
Of the new tunes, only Home stands out. That sounds like a great classic Moz tune. All the other songs, at first listen, are not up to standard I'm afraid. Maybe they'll sound better on disc but maybe not.
It's pretty poor IMHO. No melody, crass lyrics and nothing compelling. There are a few witty lines but there again there's loads of cringe worthy ones too. If I didn't know better, this song sounds like something on the dreadful Kill Uncle album. Much too lightweight to really get behind...
On the 2nd glance, the "kid" looks bored off his "tits". No real conviction in those eyes.
On the other hand, this kid could take out the Queen and then some
I find it offensive in it's lack of art. It's not clever nor is it very witty. The song the Queen is Dead was the ultimate artistic expression against the monarchy and remains so. Compare that cover to this one and you have a barometer as to how pear-shaped it has gone for Moz's career.
Maladjusted is my most listened to Solo album. The brilliant melodies and harmonies get me every time. It's a very personal and emotional album. With the deluxe album, it gets even better with fantastic b-sides
So, a photographer by "trade" posts a pic/still to his Instagram/Facebook page but says he wasn't there so he couldn't have taken it? Makes perfect sense to me.
The only thing Moz's statement does is encourage scalpers and schemers to get extra stock to sell on Ebay. Interesting that he now speaks as the "Smiths" as a few years ago, he wanted nothing to do with them.
