Description

The more things change the more they stay the same. It took Morrissey 7 years to summon up the enthusiasm (or secure a record deal) to release the follow up to this album. In that time music journalists changed their minds about Mozza, labeling him as a Great British Institution, and record buyers changed their minds sufficently to get his come back single into the top ten. But some things remains constant; the two albums that book end this wilderness period sound remarkably similair. Some tracks are virtually interchangable (swap Pappa Jack & Trouble Loves Me for Quarry's America is Notmore… the World and Come Back to Camden and see who notices?). As you can see from the other customer reviews here, this is an album that many people enjoy. It certainly does not deserve to be ignored. The single Roy's Keen remains one of Morrisseys most instantly infectus. Although Nothing here scales the heighest heights of Morrissey's creativity (Pappa Jack is terrible while Trouble Loves Me and Wide to Recieve are just OK) there are some solid enough moments in the shape of title track Maladjusted, single Alma Matters and fan favourite Ammunition. The overall tone of the album, like Quarry, is a little to laid back and seems to center on aging, the foolies of youth and (you guessed it) the need to be loved (this is a Morrissey album after all). But where Quarry has some teeth, Maladjusted has a nifty set of gums; Morrissey seems more likey to nibble his enemies to death then bite their heads off. But whilst Quarry may have a few brighter and sharper moments Maladjusted feels like a more complete train of thought, the sound of a man aware of being resigned to the bargain bins before his time. As such, it is a more complete expirence and hangs together better as an album. If you are an established Morrissey fan Maladusted should either be in your CD collection or your wish list. For newer fans who enjoyed Quarry, you will certainly enjoy this good but not great album. But first you would be wise to check out Vauxhall & I, Southpaw Grammer and Viva Hate.
