Stuck At Eleven: Morrissey Gets An Assist From The Kids
Ringleader of the Tormentors, Morrissey’s “Italy record,” was a rebound from the disappointing You Are The Quarry–it was full of melodrama, lush guitars, and even a little bit of sex. But “The Youngest Was The Most Loved,” with its children’s choir singing “There is no such thing in life as normal” as if it’s a schoolyard taunt, is our favorite track; Morrissey’s “la-da-da”ing at the song’s outro puts the finishing touch on its birth-of-a-killer tale.
