Totally agree. But if you think of the lead single as a teaser for the musical direction on the album, then they should have gone with "Knockabout World". It has the combination of a breezy pop song + synths, features you can find on several other tracks. Bobby strikes me more as a brilliant oddity in the Morrissey discography.
YASS... I want full an Synth-Pop album from this crooner, moz’s needs to experience new sounds
I don't think he could top the Pet Shop Boys at gay synth pop.
But he could collaborate with Neil & Chris, especially as they know each other nowadays.

I think whatever genre Morrissey taps into, it will always sound like a Morrissey song.
That voice is inescapable, and will shape whatever it touches.
In my fantasy, Morrissey’s next record would be produced by Trent Reznor, Flood and Death Grips.
He's unlikely to be going down any route with new music, ever again. The Der Spiegel interview revealed him to be nasty, foolish man with appalling judgement. The fanbase has withered. He can do more concerts (to smaller audiences) but there wont be any new music.Johnny Marr's finest hour was with Girls Aloud, so there's no reason Morrissey shouldn't go down the pure pop route.

Why would Morrissey want to do twelve gigs with the drummer of The Buzzcocks?12 shows with John Maher.
Give the plebs what they want. Cash out and lets go to Capri.
I wonder if they would or if they are too firmly in the Johnny & Bernard camp. Hooky was in nme recently complaining about Johnny again, ignoring him at events, haha.
@Mayfly your comment got me back thinking about this topic I made weeks ago, I really think he’ll make an album very pop directed or at least upbeat which I’m here for..
“Knockabout World”, “Once I Saw The River” Clean and “Ignore Me” proves he can do pop songs without losing his overall artistic identity .
IMO, Morrissey could pull off a pure pop / synth pop album if he wanted to. His voice can actually carry a tune, and you can't say that of every singer. He also has the ability to come up with strong vocal harmonies. And he isn't as opposed to pure pop music as he once seemed to be.
To my ears, Bona Drag comes closest to being a pop record. It is perhaps not exactly what you have in mind, but some tunes on there, like International Playboys or Hairdresser are really catchy. I also thought that the Spent the day in bed single was hinting of a musical shift into a keyboard-driven pop direction, but it was a false sign as LIHS really wasn't anything like that.

“Vauxhall & I” feels like an Alternative pop album to me, with songs like “hated for loving“, “find out for yourself”
To me that album was the most poppiest he’s ever been until “old dog”, I really think he’s working his way into it
V & I is a terrific collection of fantastic songs, regardless of you label them ("alternative pop" or "alternative rock" or just simply "alternative").
I must have missed the story of Morrissey getting acquainted with Neil & Chris from the Pet Shop Boys, so if you can elaborate a bit.
