A good, solid Morrissey album with a nice degree of energy displayed by the backing band, which make the likes of 'Irish Blood, English Heart' and 'First Of The Gang To Die' bristle with strident pop passion. It's held back from greatness by an occasional vapidity in the lyrics, plus a few autopilot tracks like 'All The Lazy Dikes', 'Let Me Kiss You' and 'You Know I Couldn't Last'.
