iTunes Review
Unlike some major artists who wait for career-spanning box sets, Morrissey collects his B-sides at random intervals to keep everyone current. 2009’s Swords collects 18 tracks left off You Are the Quarry, Ringleader of the Tormentors and Years of Refusal, Morrissey’s unexpected new millennium comeback. Morrissey hasn’t tried anything truly new in years, but his wit has remained intact and as usual the titles give a solid insight into his hilarious self-mockery. “Don’t Make Fun of Daddy’s Voice,” “If You Don’t Like Me, Don’t Look at Me” (a near A-side if not for what sounds like a scratch vocal track) and “Because of My Poor Education” forever allow Morrissey to express his underdog status in the most unlikely of ways. Chrissie Hynde guests on “Shame Is the Name.” “Drive-In Saturday” is a live David Bowie cover. “The Never Played Symphonies” adds some dour orchestration. “Sweetie Pie” sounds like Moz is transmitting from another galaxy. “My Life is a Succession of People Saying Goodbye” continues Moz’s glorious losing streak. Always a good and delightfully weird time with Morrissey.

So cool - b-sides all together!
by bambam2365Most b-sides collections are a stop-gap for artists in between major albums, but this one is the exception to the rule. These songs form a fantastic album together and the Swords album continues Morrissey's streak of exceptional music throughout the decade! Can't wait to hear some of these songs live.
