I quite liked 'Ringleader Of The Tormentors' when it first came out, but time has not been kind and I now find it far too boring to listen to. It drags on for way too long, and has an annoying production that elevates the vocals too far above everything else. Plus most of the tracks are autopilot... And some ('At Last I Am Born', 'On The Streets I Ran', 'I Just Want To See The Boy Happy') are terrible. This ranks with 'Malajusted' and 'Kill Uncle' as a poor excuse for a Morrissey record.

The voice. This was the first Mozza album I checked out, after hearing "You have killed me" on MTV. I like the overall sound, which various somewhere between Pop and old-school Rock in a way. It's a nice listen for driving or relaxing. Good one!

Morrissey's follow-up to 2004's excellent "You Are The Quarry", is titled "Ringleader of the Tormentors". The title stands out in comparison to his other albums. Unfortunately, this is not true for the album. Reviewers seem to vary in opinion, between thinking this album is Morrissey at his best, or thinking this is just an average Morrissey record, like all of the others. The latter is probably closer to the truth. The single "You Have Killed Me", is pretty good, but it doesn't stand out in his catalogue. The entire album is a collection of songs ranging from decent to good. Nothing is terrible, but nothing is fantastic either. The album is definitely inferior to "You Are The Quarry" and "Vauxhall & I", and I don't see a single Morrissey classic in-the-making on this album. "Ringleader of the Tormentors" is a good, but easily forgettable album. Fanboys might be satisfied, but it seems unlikely that this will win over new fans.
