Yes. I loved the sleeve and design and everything for the "Wedding Bell Blues" – a real return to form in terms of artwork. Even the "All the Young People Must Fall in Love" single image was reasonably well chosen. I suspect licensing, fees and increasingly Byzantine corporate ownership might make using classic film stills or something similar more difficult now than it was in the 80s, but I really do think Moz has a great sense of album design if (like with so many other things) make sure that the clearances approved before he teases some really good looking art etc. as the other problem with these mockups – the really good ones can sometimes end up making the official versions look much poorer in comparison even if the reasons that those unofficial ones were never any could never be approved is because of rightsOr go for classic imagery like he used to with The Smiths. Just two from Night Of The Hunter.
I know you already know this, but i’m going to say it out loud anyway, for everyone at the back.
Yeah, seems getting worse with this band. At least the keyboards left, which contributed to the M decadence since WPINOYB, but the current band needs to be replaced, specially the male guitar.
Like I've said before is that many of us, fans or ex-fans could have easily written Notre Dame and that is problematic. One reason why I've never appreciated or respected rap music is because in my mind, there is no separation in talent between the audience and the guy on the stage just rhyming and not singing any type of melody. Morrissey used to be a lyrical genius and he seems to have been in a writing decline for several years now. Maybe artists are only capable of so many great songs. He had an amazing run. I would say from 1984 to 1994, he could do no wrong. His career was perfect. He was still good after that but those 10 years were untouchable.
You say that as if it's a bad thing
Look, you CANNOT have 2 women in the band and expect to have the same ethos and image that Morrissey has crafted and cultivated for 40 years. If the Rolling Stones suddenly replaced Keith Richards and Chuck Leavell--their keyboardist with women, It wouldn't work. Can you imagine The Clash with Joe Strummer, Paul Simonon, Lita Ford, and Sheila E? Come the f*** on, this should be obvious to real Morrissey fans.
You want Morrissey dead?You say that as if it's a bad thing
I’m eager to hear what the Carmen and Camilla come up with, in terms of songwriting for Morrissey.
Yeah, looking forward to his new 4 Non Blondes sounding stuff too.
Ethos refers to the character, credibility, and moral values a group or individual possesses. It is a Greek word that refers to the character of a person or group.
You seem to be a new fan who probably never experienced Morrissey in 1986 with The Smiths or when he emerged on stage with Alain, Boz, Gary, and Spencer in 1991. If you had, you would probably like me, find the current set up...unacceptable and it has been heading this way since Jesse replaced Alain the first time.
Because it just pales in comparison. It is ordinary, bland. Trying to think of a credible female band...let's say the Go-Gos. We Got The Beat, Vacation, good new wave songs but I don't want Jane Wiedlen playing guitar in Big Country.
Has he ever said that?
