UK YT credits "IIP-DDS" as opposed to UMG under 'provided to YouTube by'.
"Digital Distribution Services" apparently.
Too many rabbit holes, but:

What is IIP DDS?

IIP-DDS is a platform utilized by our company (ADED.US Music Distribution). We distribute music to more platforms than just about every other indie music distribution company in the world. ... Companies like CD Baby and TuneCore serve as middlemen in the world of music distribution.

bunch a panickers on here,the whole point of getting a different producer is that you get a different sound,i dont see what the problem is,enjoyable track for a friday morning.

Stop talking out of your ass for one second and recognize the fact that this is his greatest single since You Have Killed Me.

Gregor, I quite like it when you use the language of the street, but Franz Kafka (to whom you owe everything) would certainly not be proud of you. The "single" is a joke. Morrissey is ostensibly trying to win back old fans with the sound of Johnny Marr's guitar and some lightweights here get into a state of trance.

Where's that Veronica snippet everyone's talking about????

This one?

 

[TheIronBridge]

As far as vocal effects/harsh sound/compression are concerned, I took it as a stylistic decision as the song is harking back to the good old days and the good old bands to make it sound like an older mic/vocal recording. Judging by "If Saturday Ever Comes" on Sam's yt channel, it's something that's been done before.

I do not think reviewers will be kind to this album

 

[Tbevie]

I’ve had the melody stuck in my head all morning and it sounds so mush better in my head than on this version. This is Art-hounds all over again.

I think it got released so the record company wouldn't have to endure any more 'Little Moz' videos.

Get ready. There's a strong possibility the father is already getting ready to film his 'Mini Me' lip-synching to this, which then will be released by Sam as the official promo video.

My husband said the music sounds like Hootie and the Blowfish

With Johnny Marr as special guest. Exactly! Exactly what the Morrissey fans want to hear in 2022. You hypocrites!

Johnny, circa Smiths, sounded a lot better. This is very anemic compared to Johnny's playing back then. And hell just froze over and maybe a few pigs flew, but yes, I complimented Johnny Maybe Moz can tour with a Johnny Hologram? I don't know what to think anymore.

 

[That's Enough For Me]

The YT version sounds cleaner than the Spotify version.

The Spotify version sounds like I have the track on cassette and the tape is about to spill into the player.

Has FiFi Dumbell posted her 1,5oo word essay on why this is the best single to ever single? Do Billy Idol and James Stevenson know they've been dragged into this?

 

[Famous when dead]

Forget previous re: FLAC.
See download section.
Full FLAC added - which is going to be the definitive version apart from a CD or vinyl rip.
I find the string slides more 'annoying' than anything else.

FWD.

Can't wait. "Morrissey's triumphant new single and how he proved all critics wrong"

I didn't listen to Spotify version but YT & Apple versions are better ..

 

[Mimi Ramone]

Hahhaha the spotify algorithm is totally at it. In the random song radio stream the algorithm played "Cemetry gates" of the Smiths right after it "Rebels without applause" and it said "song radio based on Rebels without applause"

 

[TsarCaesar]

Personally, I love it. Been listening to it all morning with a smile on my face haha. The only part I dislike is the "and" on the "generation x and xray spex" bit. It's a different style and I really do like it. Looking foward to seeing what is released next!
