MORRISSEY - STILL ILL - 2006


Its amazing how the Smiths sound have endured. But what is even more amazing is how many bands since then haven't come close to touching their raw nerve endings that they left behind. Many musical acts have skirted around the whole notion of human emotion instead of embracing it. Because of this and their unique sound The Smiths have created a time capsule for themselves in the 80's.

STILL.... I wonder if there is any point in continuing this one with Morrisseys new band? Maybe the old songs should be left behind. I am a bit divided on this one because the construction of these songs are beyond brilliant.

What is even more interesting is that the release, "Louder Than Bombs" is a collection of Singles from the early 80's. By the time that came out it was essentially old. These... then.... are old songs. But good ones.

I would dare to state that these songs are even... sacred. Even the way Morrissey looked at the time they were written really do define a period in time. I am not so sure that this entire feel still stands today. If there is some sensibility that thrives today then I am not sure it rings nearly as strong. The sentiments are alive no doubt. But these songs in particular I feel have their own time and place carved in time...... Honestly
