Free Music Notes for Greatest Hits (Deluxe Version)
Free Music Review: a powerful tasteful selection but with "loudness wars" treatment
Hit: 5 Stars
Morrissey's Greatest Hits is an extremely well arranged album which sounds very impressive as a complete unit. It's a thoroughly enjoyable journey right through to "I Have Forgiven Jesus" which perfectly sets up "The First Of the Gang To Die" - so the strong temptation is to just leave the CD on repeat (as my car stereo does by default).
The two new tracks are certainly of the same calibre as the other 13 and are right at home here. I couldn't imagine anyone doing a better job of collating and arranging a representative selection to celebrate Morrissey's 20 solo years.
It is important to be aware that the tracks from before the worldwide "loudness wars" which are "Everyday Is Like Sunday" (1988), "Suedehead" (1988), "The Last Of The Famous International Playboys" (1989) and "The More You Ignore Me The Closer I Get" (1994) - all have been doubled from their orignal volume (and equalised) in order to compete with the loudness of the 21st century tracks. That huge volume increase comes at a cost - making them sound significantly muffled (especially "Everyday Is Like Sunday") when you compare them to the original CD versions.
I'm quite happy to live with that compromise in order to have the whole album sound as good, and as powerful, as it does. The main point is that even if you already owned all of these tracks on CD, you wouldn't be able to re-create the sound of this compilation without a great deal of trouble (and skill).
Morrissey's Greatest Hits is a valuable addition to any Morrissey collection - and the bonus live disc is just icing on the 20th anniversary cake.
Free Music Review: I haven't even gotten it yet but I KNOW it will be five stars! It's MOZ! What can one expect from a musical genuis?
Hit: 5 Stars
I am a longtime Smiths and Morrissey since 1982 and once you have bitten by the Moz bug, you will be hooked for life. Let me put it this way. You will either ABHOR Morrissey with a passion or love him forever. He is the most respected musical genius and although his material has morphed into a much more mature and dare I say, HAPPY man? :o) Get this ASAP. You will not regret it. He's saved my life more than once with the passion of his lyrics.Free Music Review: buena complacion
Hit: 5 Stars
para quien no posee los anteriores discos solistas de morrissey, este puede ser un gran comienzo, es una buena recopilacion, quizas deberia repartirse mejor en toda su carrera, ya que el disco a no ser por "everyday is like sunday", "suedehead", y "the more you ignore me" (quizas el mejor tema de disco) se basa en la ultima etapa de su carrera...
Free Music Review: Greatest hits? but not a best of...
Hit: 5 Stars
The greatest hits relates to number of records sold not to quality of song writing so classics like 'November Spawned a Monster' are missing. But a collection of Mozza songs are always going to be better than 99% of the current album charts. This album may have disappointed the die hard fans but still a great choice for the casual fan.Free Music Review: Greatest Hits
Hit: 5 Stars
Greatest Hits being Morrissey's 2008 release and is an amazing collection of his hits, i.e. "Irish Blood, English Heart", "The Last of the Famous International Playboys" and "The More You Ignore Me, the Closer I Get" . Also we get a cd with live tracks taken from his concert at the Hollywood Bowl. 5/5.
