Morrissey still sounds like Morrissey, which at this point is both the appeal and the limitation.
There’s nothing bad here. In fact, it’s a really consistent record. The songwriting is solid, the mood is there, and it never drags. But it also never quite hits that level where it sticks with you after it’s over.
“Make-up Is a Lie” and “Notre-Dame” are the standouts — those are the tracks that feel like they actually land emotionally. The rest sits in that same mid-tempo, reflective space without really breaking out of it.
It’s a good album. Just not one I’m going to keep coming back to.
