Welcome back Moz, everthing is OK now!, 17 Feb 2006
Morrissey' first studio release since 'I Have Forgiven Jesus' will please his many devout fans. Opening with a strong guitar part from new member of Moz's band Jesse Tobias, Morrissey bursts in with an impassioned vocal. Tony Visconti's rich instrumentation in the production is clearly evident as Morrissey's band seem up for the challenge laid out by him and his producer. This maybe the first song that namechecks it's producer: "Visconti is me" It is more reminiscent of the high points of 'Maladjusted' Than 'you Are The Quarry'. Further proof that his vocal has improved over the years as his vocal acrobatics are in full swing with the catchy chorus of: "As I live and breathe/you have killed me/you have killed me/yes I walk around/somehow/but you have killed me/you have killed me." The usual tongue-in-cheek humour is there: "I entered nothing and nothing entered me". Morrissey singing sexual innuendo? surely not. the final refrain of "I forgive you" closes out the song giving the listener the impression that Moz is ready to wow his audience all over again. I for one can't wait for the single, album and of course the tour. He is once again the hotest ticket around, to people who enjoy the Moz-father and recognise brilliant music that is.

You have revitalized me, 18 Mar 2006
With this release, Morrissey has managed to shift gear and take us on a ride into a world where banality is dead. I was a late comer to the Smiths era, which has always saddened me somewhat, however over the years, from time to time, the Moz releases a pearl - "Every day is like Sunday", "Tommorrow", "Irish Blood, English Heart" ... and now, "You have killed me" ... if the rest of the album is on this level, I won't be truely disappointed ... in fact, like a fine wine, I'm saying he improves with age (or perhaps it's simply that I enjoy listening to Morrissey more the older I get?)

You have killed me, 3 April 2006
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.
