I can't get the YouTube link to work for some reason...but while Morrissey remains a real pain in the ass - I have to admit I really like this cover!

This is probably only of interest to completists but the deluxe edition of Low in High School came out this week.
I found the first half of the original album to be really strong and the second half to be really weak. What I don't get is why the 3 new studio songs on the deluxe edition were originally left off. You drop the three weakest songs for these and it's a 8 or 9 out of 10 album instead of a 5 or 6
The cover art is so much nicer too

I was thinking about picking it up...but now I definitely will as you've got me intrigued about the new studio tracks. I agree with your assessment of the album: it definitely losses steam by the second half.oliver wrote: ↑11 Dec 2018, 5:54amThis is probably only of interest to completists but the deluxe edition of Low in High School came out this week.

Yeah, I agree. The other clips I've seen the past couple years where he plays Smiths tumes have been fairly decent.Marky Dread wrote: ↑10 Dec 2018, 11:38pmSame here although that version of This Charming Man is way too fast.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑10 Dec 2018, 8:50pmhttps://www.stereogum.com/2025697/johnn ... eld/video/

Nothing to do with nerves. I would say he just rushes it through the excitement of engaging with the crowd. Either way though it's too fast.Kory wrote: ↑11 Dec 2018, 3:33pmWell then by your own logic he should have played it at a more appropriate speed, no?Marky Dread wrote: ↑11 Dec 2018, 2:29pmNervous of what exactly?
