“The singer’s 14th album shows signs of progress and signs of regression, artful touches and leaden songwriting—it’s a new Morrissey album.”
“His 14th album isn’t going to do much to change his strange place in the world, but it proves his pain is real too”
“Morrissey’s Make Up Is a Lie is hard to love”
“His 14th solo album, produced by longtime collaborator Joe Chiccarelli, is rife with boring instrumentals and clunky lyrics that indulge Moz at his most frustratingly gauche.”
“nostalgic, sentimental and dull, he is a shadow of what he once was”
