  • Here's a translation using Babelfish's online translator [http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr].

    As it's an automatic web translation it's come out rather mangled, but you get the general idea...

    Holy Sebastian of the Adoleszenz

    . . . and role model for the style-conscious memo forties: Morrissey is back with mg and tie

    OF SANDRA DANICKE

    Thomas's Bernhard was also such a type. One, with which one always asked oneself, who it probably in its childhood so badly along-played. Which may have added to it in such a way that he was condemned from now on, meet its suffering from the world with that corrosive Zynismus as only musisch and poetically talented intellectual ones with a due portion size illusion and self compassion apply it. One, that raised the adverse attitude in relation to the human race to the art form and in the kind highly empfindsame, brutal-beautiful works created. Victim and author at the same time.

    On the Cover of its first publication for seven years steven Patrick Morrissey stands like a Mafiaboss in the touched suit before a pinkfarbenen Satinvorhang, a machine gun in the notice. How vainly is please beautiful? But then there this comma, this wonderful break in the protzigen statement, is which is so thoroughly Morrissey: Morrissey, you acres the Quarry. Not Morrissey - You of acres the Quarry. Morrissey is thus the victim, and he resists with greatest possible elegance. And a hintergruendigen irony, which is just as typical for its Songtexte as it the topics longing, isolation, hate are. "How CAN anybody possibly know how I feel?"

    Coole dreiste Weinerlichkeit

    Morrissey cultivated the image of the outsider Dandys, since he brought the first album out before accurately twenty years with The Smiths. Volume, which released the perhaps most devoted cult of European skirt history in the only four years of its existence, with just as original as style-forming Schmachtrock, which is unequalled until today. Morrissey was the icon unverstanden itself feeling dte rodent, which holy Sebastian of the Adoleszenz and role model for a that one, which thought and felt differently, for example a homosexual. Over its own sexualitaet Morrissey was silent itself mysteriously out: "I more never had NO one more ever."

    Its mad crop to move its kind with swinging arms and circling hips, its collarless pajamas upper sections, which were narcissuses in the rear trouser pocket the optical translation of heavy courage into a exaltierten Glamour, which addressed also heterosexual high school students, who went then with Morrissey photos to the town hairdresser. Out did not come thereby often any longer than a highly gefoehnter Dieter Thomas tail cut. One had suspected it: None understands me. The sighing singing of this allegedly ungeliebten Dorian Gray was so dreist in its Weinerlichkeit that one could reject or cool find it merciless only categorically had. Only Uneingeweihte spoke of Kitsch.

    To the musical status, which the Dreamteam at that time Johnny Marr and Morrissey together-composed and had erspielt, both musicians could not tie solo, although Morrissey quite passable albums succeeded. Anyhow at first. You of acres the Quarry nevertheless lets the Flops and the calm air of the past ten years into oblivion turn out, and one must probably speak of a comeback. Even if Morrissey sounds unchanged like Morrissey. Even if it almost acts with You of acres the Quarry around relatively unspektakulaere Popmusik with frightening in-usual effects, which are carried however by Morrisseys emphatic, high-emotional singing. A singular, immediately identifiable voice, which out-sighs boldnesses like "I have forgivenJesus ", as if it wants to provoke exactly those comments, which it abhors so deeply. As he must always know its negative picture confirmed of the world and humans on the new. the "Ehrlichs said: I am not really sharp on the human race ", said he recently in an interview. There it is thus again, the "Handsome Devil", praetentioes as e
