Uncut awards Years of Refusal 4 stars

Years of Refusal News and Reviews

Wecome to Years of Refusal -a site dedicated to Morrisseys new album, Years of Refusal. His ninth solo studio album, is it more of the same lyrical wit and wisdom from the former Smiths frontman?

After all the hype and speculation surrounding the albums artwork what does the album hold musically?

Hopefully on this site you can get some answers to these questions before the albums release on the 16th February...

Uncut has given Years of Refusal 4 stars out of five in another positive review of Morrissey’s latest album…

“This LP, the third studio album since Morrissey began his near-miraculous recovery from commercial and critical oblivion with 2004’s You Are The Quarry, was always going to be a bit tricky. Quarry… reminded us that he is still capable of marvellous song-writing, as well as providing him with his first ever million-seller, solo or otherwise. 2005’s Live At Earls Court allowed him to reclaim his past – and especially his past in The Smiths – without appearing like The Human League or Tony Hadley on one of those I ? The ’80s tours. And Ringleader Of The Tormentors, with its tantalising glimpses of love found and celibacy abandoned (“explosive kegs between my legs!” – ooh matron!) was, after two decades of smokescreen and hairshirt, both revelatory and winningly upbeat. In a little less than two years, Morrissey had engineered one of music’s great resurrections.”
