Format:Audio CD
This first single from Morrissey's new 'Ringleader of the Tormentors' album is rather odd in that it's very much a grower: when I first heard it it made little impression on me, with the bland music and Morrissey-by-numbers lyrics making it seem more like a throwaway B-Side than a lead off single. After a few plays the tune starts infectiously creeping into your mind, but again, it's a very odd choice for a first single.
Of the 2 B-Sides the first is another New York Dolls cover - 'Human Being': musically its very simple 3 chord glam punk, but it's lengthy nature and a sleazy saxophone solo by Boz Boorer make it enjoyable. Best of all the B-Sides on this singles various formats is 'I Knew I Was Next', an odd lurching tune with a bizarre but catchy chorus, and a dense production courtesy of Tony Visconti. There is also a bonus video for 'You have Killed Me', but as this is set in a tiny window rather than being full-screen it's a bit of a waste of time.

Sole B-Side on this format Good Looking Man About Town is a fast-tempo track with a similar twinge of the Eastern influence of 'I Will See You In Far-off Places' - an average B-Side.

A gradual progression from "you are the quarry" a melodic delight, and a vocal that is as sweet as spring, whispering "as I live and breath, you have killed me" soaked in a heartfelt moment. It is again exactly the kind of single to lead from the front from, but lyrically simplistic, but its a improvement on most of the previous album, and it has a anthem quality too it, even if it is still rather academic in respect to his truly spectacular career songs.

Truly disappointed
I've bought every album and single Morrissey ever released, so it is with some authority and much regret that I give the new single the thumbs down. Read more
