Beethoven Was Deaf (Orange Biovinyl) (Rsd Stores & Hmv Exclusive)

Ah, Morrissey. The notorious crooner with a penchant for controversy and drama. His latest release, "Beethoven Was Deaf" on orange biovinyl, is a curious addition to his discography. From the moment you lay eyes on this exclusive RSD and HMV release, you can't help but be drawn in by its vibrant colour. It's like Morrissey is saying, "Hey, remember me? I'm still here, making music that divides opinions." The music itself is a mixed bag. The title track kicks things off with a punch, Morrissey's signature baritone voice crooning over a jangly guitar riff. It's classic Morrissey, reminiscent of his days with The Smiths. But as the album progresses, you can't help but feel like something is missing. The songs lack the emotional depth and lyrical wit that made Morrissey a household name in the first place. It's almost as if he's going through the motions, churning out songs without any real purpose. That being said, "Beethoven Was Deaf" still has its moments of brilliance. Tracks like "I Have Forgiven Jesus" and "The World is Full of Crashing Bores" showcase Morrissey at his best, blending melancholy with biting social commentary. Overall, this album is a must-listen for die-hard Morrissey fans, but casual listeners may find themselves skipping through the tracks. It's a bold statement from a musician who has never been one to shy away from controversy, but ultimately falls short of reaching the heights of his past work.
