He Sings your Life,
By
This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
Morrissey...Morrissey...Morrissey. Where do you begin ?There are two types of people in this world. Those that get Morrissey. Those that don't. I feel lucky to be in the gang that do. Or at least I think I do. The people that can relate to his sometimes macabre and darkly humorous approach to others, to life, to himself. He pulls no punches at any time. How many parties have you reluctantly walked into mumbling "I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday".... Don't you just hate it when your friends become successful ? He plucks our darkest thoughts out of the air and crafts them into glorious songs so we no longer feel alone in having these bad feelings. His wordplay and barbed insight into modern life is beyond compare and stir the emotions like no other singer. Who else would sing about the Moors Murders in their first album and profess to forgiving Jesus in their last. Nobody. The Smiths saw me through my teenage angst years and Morrissey on his own has helped me though my 30s and now my 40s though I admit I lost the faith for a while around the Kill Uncle period. Now it's back with a vengeance following the outstanding You are the Quarry closely followed by Ringleader of the Tormentors. This is a great collection of his songs from the last 20 or so years though I'm dissapointed it omits the frankly brilliant but disturbing November spawned a Monster. I think this is a good album for the casual Morrissey fan (as if you're reading this you'll probably already have all the tracks already) but I'm not sure such a thing exists. Visionary, radical, depressive, lunatic, genius. He's all those things and we're lucky to have him.

Well it converted me...,
By Red Devil (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
I was someone who couldn't stand Morrissey, thought he was miserable and only made music to slit your wrists to. Then this album was put on the playlist where I work. Well I found myself singing along and,yes,actually loving the music. Some people have made the point that this album is ok for the "casual" Morrissey fan but I think it's fantastic and it definitely made a convert out of me! If like me you think you don't like Morrissey just give this album a go. You won't be disappointed.

The later,heavier sounding tracks.That's all.....its good!,
By craig on compooter (suffolk,UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
Ok,I read all the reviews from the hardcore Morrissey fans,who lean towards his earlier work.I bought this and,on the advice of those guys,also bought 'Suedhead-The Best Of Morrissey',which concentrates on his earlier stuff.Well,as a relative newcomer,I have to say i prefer this one!!Later,more heavier sounding tracks.I really can't fault this,apart from the fairly lame 'Redondo Beach'. Its never off my player. I recommend it very much.He continues to produce interesting,cool tunes.Nice one Mozza!
