Why so many people rave about this album is a bit beyond me. As a Moz fan from day one, i find this album a bit flat. The production seems a bit basic. I can't deny the album contains one stunning track (Life Is A Pigsty), the rest is simply good, but not brilliant. Again Morrissey botches it by releasing the amazing 'Ganglord' as a B.Side to a rather average almost Oasis sounding single. And it's not the first time he's done this : Nobody Loves Us on Dagenham Dave, A Swallow On my Neck on Sunny, Lost on Roy's Keen...i could go on...and on a bit like what Ringleaders does! If these B.sides were on the albums, they would improve them so much. Ok i'm being harsh, this is an OK album although it still stands out from most of the dross that is marketed as 'Alternative' or 'Indie'these days. But if you are just starting out in Morrissey land, PLEASE start with Vauxhall & I, and Your Arsenal, for it it those that deserve the title of Morrissey's greatest.Read full review
this album for me is the best one he has done, i went to see him perform live pretty recently and he was brilliant i expected no less.....life is a pigsty is an amazing song. album of the year by far
Morrissey continues his comeback with another excellent album. Alot more eclectic than his previous solo albums, Ringleader... definitely rates as one of Morrissey's finest works. This edition comes with a bonus DVD of the first single off the album "You Have Killed Me". The video is OK, but only essential for the completist.
i wanted to buy this cd as soon as it was available in stores but it was too expensive in my country. although i didn't think this is morrissey's best album, i bought it because i love morrissey (and the smiths). good music, beautiful and sad at the same time, very melancholic. i love the cd and the dvd, they fulfilled my expectations.
Fantastic CD would recomend to anyone. most of the lyrics in the songs would apply to anyones. even if you are not a morrissey fan. this is his best album so far in my opinion. havent watched the DVD yet but im sure that will be just as good.
