Like many things, musicians have a limited shelf-life, and for Morrissey I wonder if he should ever have made a comeback at all.
This latest offering is another predictably morbid dirge about death and nothingness.
But rather than bearing the charged emotive sounds of his better days, there's something of an unpleasant grandad-ness about it, something which even the catchy melody can't quite shake off.
One wonders if his Beverly Hills / Rome lifestyle has quashed his spark and creativity.
Released March 27 2006.
