I appreciate I'm in a minority here, but I happened to hold the opinion that Low in high school was a strong album, and everything I've heard so far from his latest release indicates he'll surpass it.
His voice, for some inexplicable reason appears to be blossoming. But alas, his recent lyrics, while not terrible, have taken a nosedive in terms of wit and humour.
The latter doesn't bother me too much, as we already have a decade of prime lyrical Morrissey. It's the voice and unique melodies that still draw me in.
After this new album is released Morrissey will be without a record label, and well, it's not gonna be easy for Morrissey to find a new label that'll gamble on him. Especially since he's burnt so many bridges, 90% press coverage of him is, to put it mildly, "negative."
Unless, as people on here mentioned many years ago, he goes down the self release independent route, I think this will be his final album. So as a recording artist he'll essentially be retired. But as a live performer, how many more years will he go on?
