Morrissey - I Am Not a Dog on a Chain Review

2020 will no doubt become one of the strangest years of Morrissey's time. His gigs over the past weekend in the UK saw what could end up being the last major social gatherings for some before we all succumb to Covid-19's isolation.

The music press lapped up it's favourite outspoken uncle being unable to sell out seats, they sniggered that he's still spouting mad things like it's 1985 and daring to say "Meat is Murder" whilst blind zealots like myself wait for table scraps like eager dogs at the dinner table.

Segue out of the way, Morrissey's thirteenth album is I Am Not a Dog on a Chain, an album which sees Morrissey's most radical changes in sound for quite some time or possibly forever.

Morrissey - California Son Review

So, how do you follow up a decent album in 2017 where your controversy continues to follow you like a dog without a lead?

Morrissey - Low in High School Review

When people ask me about my opinions on Morrissey, I normally joke and and reply where do they want me to start? For a career forever courting, embedded or shrouded in controversy, I find the modern day trope of cancellation of him quite amusing, doubly so that if anyone was genuine in wanting rid of him, then surely paying no attention to him would do more damage (although recent tour stats for tickets indicate this is already the case).

Kanye West - The Life of Pablo Review

Note: This review is for the version of the album available on 28/03/2016. If it's edited even more after this date, I may come back to this review with an update.

In the aftermath of Yeezus, Kanye West's ongoing battle with megalomania took more downward swings. He finally put a ring on Kim Kardashian despite his obvious crush on Beyoncé, he had another kid and gave him a stupid name because of course he would, he jokingly threatened to invade Beck's Grammy award before revealing in an interview afterward that he should have because he didn't respect artistry (yep, that Beck) and so much more that I'm keeping it to this paragraph.

He also kept talking about his new album called Swish like it was going to be the greatest thing in the history of ever.

Album Rankings for 2014

Whilst a lot of you will look at 2014 as a miserable year, mine was pretty damn special.

Morrissey - World Peace Is None of Your Business Review

The past two years have not been kind to Morrissey. Cancelled tours due to illness, plagued by seemingly never ending battles of illness, band mates and former colleagues arguing over who spread what illness on tour.

The man is, dare I say, Still Ill leading up to what should have been a triumph return preceding his first new album in five years.

Worst to Best Morrissey Albums (...Including Bona Drag)

Despite eating meat, my hatred for PETA, my generally cheery demeanour; I am a massive fan of The Smiths and a massive fan of Morrissey's solo career.
