Wait, what?
This is...I love this.
There’s a buoyancy to the band here. It isn’t muddy and muggy. There’s joy and humor and the sound of a band that really enjoys playing with each other.
The actual instrumentation and melodies feel more assured and less experimental and that way Morrissey’s odd phrasing and plaintive style actually enhanced the songs rather than detract the way i felt previous albums did.
“Bigmouth Strikes” is the funniest I’ve ever heard M.
