You Are The Quarry

While I've been slowly warming up to the new Morrissey album, this quote from the incredibly positive Pitchfork review, put the album in perspective...

...if you're listening to Morrissey albums for riffs and licks you're missing the point. Any instrumental bed under such incandescent personality and booming voice would pale.

Contrast that to the Stephin Merritt, of Magnetic Fields, review from the New York Times...

At this level of lyric artistry, these warmed-over arena rock backdrops are a waste.
