But you can't look away now. Me neither.On a serious note, how good can it be with that shite band, and chicarelli producing it. It’s was doomed before Moz even got in the studio. It’s upto him to rescue it with some decent songs and lyricism, but I can’t see that happening. He’s lost his wit and charm. I just see a lot of moaning, petty finger pointing, justifying his actions, the right wing and racist accusations, and how in this day and age you’re persecuted for exercising your right to free speech. It’s gonna be hard for Moz to turn the corner now and do an enjoyable album, since 2014, he’s just used them to bitch and moan about the world and how badly treated he is.

I didn't like "Spent the day" at all. The video didn't make the song better for me. It just passed me by. No catchy harbinger for LIHS. Strange piece for sure but musically it didn't pick me up where I had been waiting impatiently since Refusal.I'm not keen on the producer - but I think the wit & charm is still lurking about if someone could bring it out in the mix a bit more. I loved the video for Spent The Day In Day - who but Morrissey would get Joey Barton and David Hoyle to push him around in a wheelchair, while he was in a glittery cardi, looking like your gay Uncle on day release down the bingo hall?
He'll never really be right-wing, he's too instinctively degenerate.
My hair can't take that tempo anymore. So it would be "Just the tips, Valentino!" for me.A haircut a day sounds like a perk to me not a burden
My hopes for the new album:
- That it really does get released!
- That the musical experimentation of the last couple of original albums continues (while I know it divides opinions, I think the music has generally been better than the lyrics).
- That there are more personal lyrics to go with the political. The balance on the last album wasn't right.

So what could you expect now? You really can't say. More American maybe and certainly not just hard rockers, hopefully less world music and lyrics that deal with what the shallows and highs of each individual are all about. But "Love is on it's way out" sounds very bitter again.
In my opinion, the record can't be a liberating blow, because it's long since out of his own hands to save his career. The fact that BMG doesn't publish a comment to a record that will be released in about 2 months doesn't make it any better. It smells like low profile and the "strong" manager has been silent for months.
I would wish us all (him included) better conditions for 2020 but the wound is too big and it can't grow over. Everyone who has a spark of understanding for long-term fans should understand that it is not possible to put him on a pedestal anymore. He fell down there himself and was not pushed, as he and his environment always want to make believe.
