Your Arsenal

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
His fourth and finest solo album is, as the cover shot suggests, Morrisey's idea of hard rock. There's a gritty, glam feel to Mick Ronson's production (check the Ziggy Stardust cop on "I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday"), while the loud'n'rude riffs of new guitarist Boz Boorer banish memories of the Smiths. Best news: for once the songs focus on adult life, not the man's well-documented adolescence. --Jeff Bateman --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

5 out of 5 stars morrissey just fine on his own.......2007-03-09

this is possiblly the best album that has come out of the smiths and morrisseys ventures great form top to bottom

5 out of 5 stars This is one of his top albums.......2006-06-16

Your arsenal is perhaps the most well-rounded of Morrissey's solo releases..everything sounds like it belongs there - quite a departure from 'kill uncle'... Hard rocking numbers like "you're gonna need someone on your side", "National front disco", and the commical "you're the one for me, fatty" are balanced by the slow and more intimate "We'll let you know" and the truly beautiful "seasick, yet still docked". Mick Ronson clearly did a fantastic job with the production on this - maybe Morrissey's best..

4 out of 5 stars GLAMMY.......2006-05-19

A return to form after the rather "tired" Kill uncle but not his best solo album.his most commercially sounding one though.Invest!

2 out of 5 stars At best, Morrissey's worst.......2006-05-02

I find it interesting that this is one of the only Morrissey albums with no lyrics included. It is also one of his weakest albums lyrically. Coincidence? I'm not sure. The lyrics seem rather pointless when compared to some of his other works like "Viva Hate" or his later release "Vauxhall and I". Musically, it sounded more like general, vapid alt. rock than it did anything else. Songs like "Tomorrow" and "We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful" are the highlights of the album, but the rest of it seems to fade away with the passage of time. Believe me, if you want vintage Morrissey, I would not recommend this one.

5 out of 5 stars his best!.......2006-04-29

This is MOrrissey at hist best, hands down. It may be one of the most important albums that I own. If you do not own this..then you must. There isnt a bad song on this album. Five stars!
