...while exploring new sounds. It's great. If you like Morrissey, you'll love the album. To the couple of disgruntled "long-time fans" below, who have given this album poor reviews, you probably need to give the album some time to grow on you. While I loved this album immediately, I've found that some of his past albums (e.g. Maladjusted, Southpaw Grammar), got much better with repeated listens, once i set aside my narrow expectations, and once the lyrics and melodies had a chance to take root.
