MORRISSEY - GREATEST HITS - review by STEPHEN TROUSSÉ, Uncut (3 stars) "The endless tours of the last few years really just confirm that by now Morrissey is deep into his Vegas period. Once upon a time he was the Complete Pop Artist with a neurotically perfectionist focus on every detail. The bland title and ten-year old photo of this new collection feel like the final confirmation that his focus is no longer there."

Basically,he's got lazy and is possibly tired. Much like all those magazines that continuously place 25 year old photos on the front of their mags and papers...then have the audacity to criticise for the same thing!

Know what Uncut gave David Gray's Greatest Hits? (Score:1)
I have a theory by the way. Moz has made the Greatest Hits package shoddy to discourage his fans (who already have all the albums) from buying this, whilst keeping his new paymasters happy.
In these downloading days, there's really no point buying a greatest hits for a new song or two unless the packaging is something special. Which this isn't. Maybe he's doing us a favour for once.

Thank you for everything pre 1995 but now it's long over.

Cheers!

Greatest Hits: Hot Cakes (Score:1)
Already it's fodder for radio air-play in Ireland and there's plenty to make it last, which is excellent exposure for subsequent music.
Tower Records in Dublin have piles of the album on the floor behind the cash-desks, sprung to race out the door first light tomorrow.
A plentiful possee is all set to be chasing the tail of Moz, the Pied Piper, with this release!

4 songs from 'Tormenting'
4 songs from 'Curry'
1 Redundant 'Redondo' Cover
3 tracks from the Eighties
2 (the) 2 new tracks
and ONE track from 1989-2004
wots going on.............
Mozz u released some amazing gems in the 90's.
If u r going for chart big placings only - then surely
Alma should be on there at least.
My MAIN gripe is the album of 15 tracks is only 51 mins long. So theres no excuse - u could of put at least another 6 songs on it. (Credible 90's ones)
In other news, my promo cd copy in my hand!
- the cover picture photography is by ANON.
Decca are on the look out for the snapper as we speak!
Good band shot by Mozz Bailey lines the spread of the booklet. The usual vinyl styling is here. So the dated title treatment is not out of date, its made to measure.
Good points to note - if u goto www.morrisseydirect.com
and register for the 'new upcoming special release' (still to be announced) and wait for the confirmation, they give u a free mp3 download of 'First Of The Gang' LIVE at the Pearl Theatre.
RESULT.
