Product Description

CD Description

Notorious and influential former Smiths frontman Steven Patrick Morrissey's solo material has always divided opinion, but his Greatest Hits nonetheless compiles the highlights from his extensive back catalogue. Cuts from the acclaimed debut 'Viva Hate' all the way up to 2006's 'Ringleader Of The Tormentors' are present, with hit singles such as 'First Of The Gang To Die' and the classic 'Every Day Is Like Sunday' included. This release also contains two new songs, of which one ('That's How People Grow Up') sees release as a single.

3.0 out of 5 stars Such a missed opportunity ...., 11 Feb 2008
By J. Bailey - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As well as the 6 or 7 bona fide classics on this 'Greatest Hits' album, most of the songs here are at least tinged with Morrissey's genius but it's hard to know where to lay the blame for the sheer redundancy of the track listing of this record. Do we blame Decca for keeping the EMI songs to a minimum, or EMI for not playing ball (only 4 of the 15 are from the 1987 to 1994 era when Morrissey did his best work) or Morrissey himself for arrogantly thinking that his recent work (11 tracks are from the past 4 years) constitutes his 'greatest' period.

This just seems a real missed opportunity to put together Moz's best singles or songs, and including some fairly middling singles like 'Let Me Kiss You' and 'I Just Want to See the Boy Happy' is depressing when classics like 'November Spawned A Monster' and 'Boxers' haven't made the cut.

That said, Moz has always been rotten at compiling albums and track listings generally: most of his singles shouldn't be singles, his B-Sides should have been singles, his album tracks should be B-sides and the songs that never even get released but appear years later leaked on the internet are sometimes better than some tracks on this so-called 'hits' package! He really is a contrary and frustrating so'n'so and this album only reiterates that!

2.0 out of 5 stars 'A Lopsided And Half Hearted Release', 20 Jan 2008
By Antony May (East Sussex, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Like millions, I am a devotee of 'The Mozzfather' and news of every new album release has the same effect on me that looking forward to Christmas does on a 5 year old! HA HA Sadly though, this compilation is nothing but a deflating experience. While most of the individual songs on this collection are excellent, there are far too many selections from the mans last two albums. There are just so many Mozz classics omitted and how any Greatest Hits can be thought of as such without 'November Spawned A Monster' (surely one of Stephen Patrick's most touching songs) is beyond me! Morrissey has also habitually had a habit of saving his best songs for album tracks or b sides and therefore by definition this collection of A sides is devalued. I mean, much as I admire the 'Ringleader' album you really can't say in all seriousness that 'I Just Want To See The Boy Happy' is one of Morrissey's best! New song (and new single) 'That's How People Grow Up' isn't very high up the pecking order either and sounds as if it may have been an out-take that should have remained so. Add to all this a 'bonus' cd of live songs that come so hot on the heels of 'Live At Earls Court' and the EXCELLENT 'The Man Who Put The 'M' In Manchester' DVD and there is really little here to excite or fulfill true fans. I have a friend that went to see the great man in concert last year and perhaps how I feel about this release is best summed up by our conversation on her return. "How was the Morrissey concert?" I asked her. "Great, but he sang too many songs I didn't know" came her reply. And so, if like her, there are Morrissey songs that you don't know then you might love this album, if on the other hand you live and breathe for every word the mans says, you will probably long for the release of his NEW album later this year.

1.0 out of 5 stars What could Morrissey be playing at., 2 Feb 2008
By Mr. N. J. B. (England U.K.) - See all my reviews
Firstly..
The compilers of this CD need to understand what the words "greatest" and "hits", actually mean.
Secondly..
While there are some perfectly decent tunes on this CD, you just can't help feeling that absolutely no effort went in to putting it together.
It's less of a CD, and more of a money making opportunity. I refuse to believe even Morrissey is proud of the way it has been released.
P.S. To call a CD Greatest Hits, was kinda naff back in the eighties.
It's the thing lesser bands do. You know , the ones that don't actually have many good records.
Most of the really good CD Greatest Hits, were called something far more imaginative.

Neil.
