Fall of 2004 was his last album. He was gone for like 7 years (97 - 04) but now he's coming back with sort of a "2nd wave" of work.

The Smiths/Morrissey was the biggest group/person I've ever worshipped musically. Nothing comes close to how much Marr/Morrissey influenced my life.


That said, Morrissey's last album was such a disappointment that I was actually depressed about it.

Please, PLEASE let this new album be something as good as Vauxhall and I. PLEASE!

:thumbsup: I too don't just "like" The Smiths/Morrissey, it's over and above everything the pinnacle of all music. Nothing even comes close and I remember thinking a year or so after I first discovered The Smiths/Morrissey that I never really "loved" music until I found them.

I think it was OK, better than Maladjusted or Southpaw Grammar, but I heard the new one is going to be not as "hard rockish" and much smoother, so I think it will be closer to something like Vauxhall and I.

Me vs. Morrissey in the Pretentiousness Contest

Fair enough. But for all his shortcomings, noone's ever been able to so articulate the melancholy of life as he has. He was able to describe my own self-pity better than I ever could have, during those teenage and early college years.

While I don't listen to him as I used to, each and every song of the The Smiths and much of his early solo work hold a fond place in my heart that will *never* be replaced.


When you laugh about people, who feel so very lonely, their only desire is to die...

well I'm afraid, that doesn't make me smile....I wish I could laugh, but that joke isn't funny anymore....its too close to home and too near the bone, too close to home and too near the bone, more than you'll ever know....
