Anyone heard his new disc ? It's been getting some good reviews .

I just ordered the new album so will be listening shortly. Q magazine gave it only 3 stars which is faint praise. However, they also gave Morrisey's last album 3 stars and it was great.

I have not received the new CD yet from Amazon so still have not heard it. Usually they are much faster. I did get his EP, Thanksgiving, over Christmas and its very good. The title track is very poignant, especially for people like me who have geriatric parents whom you feel you should visit more. Two other songs, London Song and Storyteller, are great and already available on his "Storyteller" CD. The fourth song called Yours Truly Confused N10, is not that great. The liner notes say his sons punk band rejected it and I can understand this.
