Ringleader of the Tormentors - which those who have heard it are identifying as one of his greatest recording achievements - is a record of a different complexion than all previous Morrissey records. It seems somehow suffused with a new confidence and, dare one venture, happiness. Time was when we scanned the obits for Morrissey???s imminent demise ??? he probably did too. Indeed, going back to ???Still Ill??? and all the way through to 2004???s You Are the Quarry, Morrissey resolutely hung around the cemetery gates, it being only a matter of time, and a blissful release when it comes.
