Two more favourable reviews of the single in the UK press This is an astonishing return to form by the Mozfather. The English indie rock icon in exile keeps the home fires raging here with his greatest rebel song since The Queen is Dead. Sizzling with agit-prop anger, righteous bile and lyrical passion, if it's not a No 1 the nation should hang it head in shame. 5 stars - (Must listen to at all costs.) Gavin Martin Daily Mirror 7th May Good heavens! Morrissey in "Not completely past it" shocker! Over the past decade the former Smiths singer has not only besmirched his reputation with a clutch of mediocre solo albums but seen interest in him diminish to the point where he was without a record deal. Newly signed to Sanctuary, Morrissey seems reinvigorated. Irish Blood, English Heart, a roistering harangue about England and Englishness, is brilliant, arguably his finest solo moment and a song that would have fit snugly on to The Queen is Dead. Its video is simple and direct - Mozzer, grey but still handsome in a white blazer, performing in front of a small crowd. The comeback begins . . . Paul Connolly The Times 8th May and here's a scan of the Guardian review. Track of the week

If IBEH reaches the higher rungs of the charts (Score:0)
As this would ensure radio play for First of the Gang, which is a potential number 1 hit, and could linger in the charts for a lot longer than his singles usually do.
It's all very exciting. I think I just wet myself.
