This album is highly regarded, sure, but I don't think it sits on the pedestal that it deserves to.
I love the new album. Vauxhall and I and Viva Hate are fantastic. But I can listen to Your Arsenal today and be rendered breathless and totally overwhelmed by the songs and how amazing the album is despite the fact that I've listened to this album for years repeatedly as I have done with all the albums (excepting the new one obvi). No other album on earth evokes this strong a visceral reaction from me.
Songs like "The National Front Disco" just blow everything else out of the water and stand as towering giants. This record saw Morrissey peak and he deserved way more recognition for this album -- one of the best of all time.
Do y'all agree or no?
