Morrissey's "You Are the Quarry" Ok, I know there was already a thread discussing this album a while back, but I thought I'd start my own because I didn't even read that one. Mostly because I tend not to want to read other people's opinions and reviews of anything before I listen to it myself.
Anyway, I finally got around to listening to it yesterday, and I LOVE this album! I've been playing it non-stop now since yesterday. 
Favorites so far are "The First of the Gang to Die", "I'm Not Sorry", and "The World is Full of Crashing Bores". 
Any other fans of this album? "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

Any other fans of this album? I think it's lame. I stopped listening to it a while ago. "I'm Not Sorry" and "Gang" are good though. There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |

I like the new album...for me, it doesn't quite measure up to, say, Viva Hate, but it's good stuff.  "I would say that Prince's top thirty percent is great. Of that thirty percent, I'll bet the public has heard twenty percent of it." - Susan Rogers, "Hunting for Prince's Vault", BBC, 2015 |

I think it's pretty dull.
I always preferred his solo stuff to the Smiths, but I still can't get into this one. There's a few good tracks, but the rest are just tired sounding. Why didn't he put Don't Make Fun Of Daddy's Voice on instead of, say, Let Me Kiss You or All The Lazy Dykes? Bring back the days of Your Arsenal and Vauxhall And I! | |

I still haven't given this CD a lot of attention. I'm not sure why, either as I do really like what I've heard. "Gang" is definately a stand-out track for me as is "Come Back To Camden" | |

It's one of those albums that all the songs start to sound the same after a while, yet somehow I don't mind that about it. It makes it easy to listen to it the whole way through, as a whole.

I love this line from "You Know I Couldn't Last"... "CDs and T-shirts, promos and God knows You know I couldn't last, Someone please take me home..." "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |
