Tiny reviews of Ringleader Of The Tormentors
in my beloved New York magazine.

Ringleader of the Tormentors
Morrissey
The onetime Smiths front man’s latest assembly of morose ballads.

Katherine [Rating: 8]: Love has apparently paid a visitation to Moz, and the clouds are a tad less gray, though couplets like “Pasolini is me / Accattone you’ll be” still provide the damp but pleasurable jolt we’ve come to expect from him.

Sarah [Rating: 5]: I think it would be unethical to play songs like “I’ll Never Be Anybody’s Hero” for 9-year-olds. And the melodies and guitars are flat to me (I can’t get over Johnny Marr’s absence, no matter how long it’s been).

John [Rating: 3]: Oh, good grief! Tracks on this disc include “Dear God Please Help Me,” “You Have Killed Me,” “The Father Who Must Be Killed,” and “Life Is a Pigsty”—that last of which features ostentatiously weepy lyrics actually set to a backdrop of drizzling rain.

Excerpt:

A Rickenbacker guitar strikes up a mournful chime. A distinctive wail bursts in: "I'd be dead ... but there's nothing worth dying for." This isn't some rediscovered lost Smiths obscurity but a song by a new band called the Isles. Their debut album, Perfumed Lands, sounds like a collection of Smiths demos from 1983. Meanwhile another band, Voxtrot, have a song, The Start of Something, that sounds eerily like an early attempt at This Charming Man.

There's nothing new about bands borrowing from the Smiths - British groups were at it a decade ago. What's different about the latest lot is that they're American. The Isles hail from New York; Voxtrot are from Texas.

Excerpt from the press release:

" Rhino Records brings together a compilation featuring favorites selected from all three of the band's studio albums along with alternate mixes and rarities.

Taking 10 of its 13 tracks from the group's studio albums, the collection contains music from 1991's self-titled debut, 1996's follow-up, Raise The Pressure, and 2000's Twisted Tenderness. GET THE MESSAGE also features several remixes including the single version of "Get The Message," the Single Mix of "Disappointed," a song co-written by Tennant that appeared on the Songs From The Cool World Soundtrack as well as the radio edits for a pair of tracks from the group's most recent album. The compilation also includes the single-only "All That I Need" (the B-side of "For You,") and 1996's "Imitation Of Life," the B-side of "Forbidden City." "
