I've only listened to the album twice, but it is just breaking my heart how much autotune is present. All of my favorite singers and bands are using autotune these days and to me it sounds like total garbage. There's a particularly noticable autotune mess up 3 minutes into Bobby, when Morrissey sings the word "horse." I can also hear it when he sings "know" at 3:09. The whole album his voice sounds unnatural, too up front, too perfect. Morrissey is one of my favorite singers because of the unique qualities of his voice, including the flaws and strange things that happen in those mythical two takes of vocals he records. It's like all the edge has been sanded off. I've seen him live recently and his voice was incredible, we all know he can sing. I don't understand why him of all people have to use autotune. And before people argue "autotune is common", guess what, I don't care that it's common. I still hate it. You can still defy the common and have tastes. I dislike common things that are terrible. I am making an album too and not using autotune because I think it sounds bad, even though it is common. Morrissey's rebellious spirit should say to hell with the autotune.
