World Peace… doesn’t quite match those, though it comfortably leaps 2009’s Years Of Refusal.Īs stated, it’s thematically and lyrically very much on-message the title track despairs of the world regimes that cannot be trusted ( ”Each time you vote you support the system” declares the quiffed-one, ignoring that fact that not voting is how we get stuck with UKIP, although maybe - whisper it - Moz wouldn’t mind that much if we did.

Last time that happened we got You Are the Quarry, now a decade old, his most energetic, crackling work, followed by the elegant Ringleader of the Tormenters two years later. It’s been five years since we had a Moz album, and there’s been a record company change and a cabinet reshuffle in the Morrissey band in the meantime. You rarely expect the new one from Steven Patrick to set the world alight, but he knows what his fans want, and World Peace Is None Of Your Business dollops it reliably like the dinner lady in the lunch-line.

While there are certainly peaks in that lot there are surprisingly few troughs ( Kill Uncle, Maladjusted and the last third of his autobiography being the obvious exceptions). It’s business as usual on planet Morrissey: life is still a pigsty, meat is still murder and the world is still full of crashing bores guitars still go crunch, falsettos still soar, and the best titles are still the the most disappointing songs (‘Kick The Bride Down the Aisle’ is the new ‘All the Lazy Dykes’) and yet none of this is really a criticism - the great Moz, for all his truculent, rent-a-quote, forever-miserably-misunderstood demeanor is remarkably consistent over a career that now encompasses 10 solo records (plus compilations,) and a book.
