Morrissey Tickets Continued
Morrissey is often noted as one of the key pop lyricists of
his generation, with many subsequent bands hailing his influence.
Fans are attracted to the sardonic humour which underpins his songs'
frequent references to alienation and failed love. A celebration of
the outsider is a constant theme in his work. Morrissey has
been stereotyped as appealing to shy teenagers, and his work has been
said to glorify working-class criminality.
Morrissey's first solo album came in 1988 in the form of
Viva Hate. The prevailing sound of the album is a jangle-pop
similar to that of the Smiths, though Vini Reilly's guitar works adds
more abrasive and atmpospheric elements to the work. Viva Hate
struck number one upon release, supported by such strong singles as
"Suedehead" and "Everyday Is Like Sunday".
The band Morrissey assembled for 1992's hit album Your
Arsenal sharply renewed his sound and sales success with a fresh,
American rockabilly sound. Your Arsenal was produced by former
David Bowie guitarist, Mick Ronson, and it earned a Grammy
nomination for best alternative album. The year 1994 brought
Morrissey back to number one in the UK, with Vauxhall and
I. One of the album's highlights, "The More You Ignore Me, The
Closer I Get", enjoyed chart success as a single, reaching number
eight in the UK and number 46 in the US.
Morrissey's album You Are the Quarry was released in
May 2004. Guitarist Alain Whyte described the work as a mix between
Your Arsenal and Vauxhall and I, and the album received
strong reviews. The first single, "Irish Blood, English Heart",
reached number three in its first week of sales in the UK singles
chart. This was the highest placing chart position for
Morrissey in his entire career as both a solo artist and the
lead singer of The Smiths. Also, the album became his most successful
one, solo or with The Smiths selling over a million copies.
Morrissey's latest album, Ringleader of the
Tormentors, was released in 2006.
