Review: Morrissey - Low In High School: A lurching and incoherent collection of quasi-rants and odd-ball diversions
A new Morrissey album was once a cause for celebration. This is no longer the case, with the former Smiths man’s disastrous attempt to reinvent himself as a novelist and his increasingly outrageous public pronouncements eroding 40 years of good will.
That decline continues with his 11th solo record, a surly, confused (self-released) affair that sees the Irish-Mancunian singer variously giving vent to lusty impulses (‘When You Open Your Legs’) and making flailing stabs at controversy (‘Israel’, ‘Who Will Protect Us From The Police?’).
