Not a big fan of The Sm*ths or Steven Morrissey or any of the bands that followed them (other than maybe the second James album on Sire) but this is a really fine record. The lack of jingle-jangle guitars is a major plus point and for me it's his best (and least mannered) set of vocals. Quite Cope like in parts.
Interesting Moz album. There he was back in the limelight and back on form with Your Arsenal and Vauxhall & I after the pretty poor Kill Uncle LP.
SP was definitely not what his career needed at that time!
But it proved to be something of a grower and a stayer.
