King Leer
Leering since '97
I was thinking the other day about how secure Vauxhall and I's place at the top of Morrissey solo discography is. Sure, there are those fans who choose Your Arsenal, Viva Hate or even another of Morrissey's albums as their #1, but you'd be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't at least rank Vauxhall in the top 3.
Morrissey's humour and wit is legendary, but there's not a large amount extant on this record. It's certainly not a miserable album, though it might be his most introspective. But there are no obvious laughs, puns or witticisms. At least not compared to songs found on other albums.
Is Vauxhall's more openly emotional, mature style why it's garnered so much praise from diehards, casual fans and even non-fans alike?
