A pretty comprehensive review from xsnoize (I'd never heard of them either!).

I'm as certain as can be that the entirety of Morrissey's career has, for him, been building towards this glorious point: the day on which he is compared to the Mock Turtles.
You can retire now, Morrissey: it doesn't get any better than that.
I actually liked What Kind of People.. Overall, interesting direction musically. I need to re-listen to Secret, I didn't catch the Maladjusted vibe.I'd give it 9 out of 11 (didn't like two songs). I think it's a very good album. I didn't like The Truth About Ruth and What Kind Of People Live In These Houses. I must be one of the few who likes The Secret Of Music, which reminds me of the song Maladjusted.
Start listening to it thinking you'll hate it and you might be pleasantly surprised. I think it's a brilliant album. I expected the following films to be shit (back in the day) and was blown away by them: The Matrix, Wolf of Wall Street, L.A.Confidential, Southpaw. Of course it also works the other way.Second review of the day that goes, 'He might be a bit of an arse but let's put that to one side for a moment...' (the other being the NME review of his London gig).
The positive reviews of the new album seem to outnumber the negative ones and as such I'll probably hate it. Such is life.
This is an odd post, albeit interseting.An oddly woefully written albeit, ultimately, positive review.
