On this review I will be reviewing Morrissey's fourth studio album "Vauxhall And I".
Morrissey aka Steven Patrick Morrissey aka Moz. is a singer, songwriter. Who everybody should know him as the lead singer of 'The Smiths'. For those that may not know I am not a huge Morrissey fan but I do like 'The Smiths'. The Smiths have released good songs like "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now", "What Difference Does It Make" (My personal favourite), "This Charming Man", "Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One" (My 2nd favourite) And many more. I have never really listened much to Morrissey's discography but I have heard and reviewed his classic debut album 'Viva Hate'. I thought it was a good album since it was my first time listening to it. Majority of the fans regard 'Viva Hate' as his best album. However I heard his recent album released last year "Low In High School" which I thought was a mediocre album. I wasn't too keen on it. The album recieved a lot of negative reviews. It was not Morrissey's best album. Discussing about his fourth album that I heard "Vauxhall And I". I thought it was a good album. But however I much prefer his classic debut album "Viva Hate". From his debut album I like the tracks such as "Suedehead", "Everyday Is Like Sunday", "Late Night, Maudlin Street". The track "Margaret On The Guillotine" which was about during the time where Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister. It was about Margaret being on a guillotine since she recieved a lot of hate during her time as Prime Minister. Discussing more about "Vauxhall And I" I guess it's a great alternative rock album. But I would say 'Viva Hate' is better in my opinion.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album starting with "Now My Heart Is Full" I thought it was a great track I love how the track starts it kind of has that 80s rock vibe. "Hold On To Your Friends" quite an interesting track I would say it's my personal favourite on the album it's well produced. I love the guitars on this track. "The Lazy Sunbathers" I like the guitars on this track. Very interesting lyrics on this track it's okay I guess. My least favourite track is "Billy Budd" it's not a bad track just not my favourite on the album but it's still a decent track.
Overall I thought this was a good Morrissey album but I prefer his debut album. 8/10.
