Morrissey

About this product

In this, his ninth studio album, Morrissey sheathes his ever tortured eloquence in buoyant melody and smashing production by the legendary Jerry Finn, who sadly died before the album was released. A lyrical and musical tour-de-force, Years of Refusal is at once urgent, intimate and wonderfully theatrical.

Released in short succession following his Greatest Hits and Swords B-side compilations, the current surge of musical output by the man who recently celebrated his 50th birthday is something to marvel at. Including 'That's How People Grow Up' which was debuted on his Greatest Hits, it also features hit singles 'Throwing My Arms Around Paris' and the exquisitely self-absorbed 'All You Need is Me'.

With songs averaging at a pop-perfect three minutes, Morrissey and co. make sure they have maximum impact in minimum time. Spiky, spunky melody with scathing, sharp prose, it's clear why Morrissey has described Years of Refusal as his 'strongest work to date'.
