Album Rating: 5.0
Morrissey has a ambiguous nature to his lyricism
not really, it's fairly explicit even in songs i didn't mention like Hand In Glove (the sun shines right out of our behinds, it's not like any other love, this love is different, and if the people stare, let them stare) or an album outtake Handsome Devil (a boy in the bush is worth two in the hand, i think i can help u get thru your exams...and in your scholarly room, whom will swallow whom?).
people read gay stuff in the lyrics...because they themselves are gay and probably in denial about it
you are entitled to your opinion, but you're the one who seems so disconcerted at the thought of songs about his sexuality.

while i don't disagree that he has fairly explicitly gay lyrics, moz has stated multiple times that he's not gay (although he hasn't stated that he's straight). i think he prefers to remain in that gray ambiguous area.

i agree that he tries to avoid talking about his sexuality in public. but if i'm reviewing the album i have to write honestly what i think it's about, not what he would like me to say.

oh as far as what it's about, then you're definitely correct. he definitely writes about gay topics. i was just saying that i don't think he himself is gay, although i'm not sure he's straight either.

Celibate. Gay. Straight. Alien. It is of no concern. Morrisey wants things to exists apart from him. He wants the work to stand apart from his own narrative and the Cult of Personality.
All else aside, nuance and deviation, I think that is a noble stance to stake, and we should respect that earnestly, for examining Morrisey will not lead us into anything but the temptation to be wrong.

Really solid stuff here, I think I like this more than the queen is dead. It doesn't have any annoying hooks which ruined that album for me.

i love The Hand That Rocks The Cradle ("rattle your bones all over the stones, i'm only a beggarman who nobody owns") and I Don't Owe You Anything - really emotional.

i just looked into his wondrous eyes and swore never, never, never again.
but all too soon i did return, just like a moth to a flame.
i'm only a beggarman who nobody owns, rattle my bones all over the stones.
oh, see how words as old as sin, fit me like a glove.
i'm here and here i'll stay.
together we lie, together we pray.

I think Morrissey didn't mean to write his lyrics only about homosexuality. He actually wanted to show men's fragile side. He got very angry in this period because gay people were taking it in a different way.

Oh, and I forgot to say:
Your review is pretty good!
I'm starting now to listen to The Smiths.
I'm from Brazil, and here where I live, almost nobody knows them.
Brazilian people in general listen only to shitty music.
