Rated 5/5

referencing Vauxhall And I, CD, Album, CDPCDS 148

Exhausted from accusations of racism, reportedly, a few years after its release Morrissey revealed that Vauxhill And I was a preface to "leaving the public domain" with Morrissey declaing "I was aware of this end-of-reign atmosphere while recording the album".

Well, back against the wall you can count on a Morrissey with something on his mind. And Vauxhall is another high point in the Mozzer's career. There is quite simply not a single slip here and his lyrics are as present as ever.

Arguably, the most obvious radiohits are placed on the first half, but the entire album provides a long voyage in to Morrissey-settling-the-score land. Besides, when Speedway ends the tour with Morrissey pop-rocking "All of the rumours keeping me grounded, I never said that they were completely unfounded ... I've always been true to you in my own sick way" Morrissey yet again manages to leave us slightly puzzled and amused at the same time.

Some trivia. The album's title is a play on the title of Bruce Robinson's 1987 film "Withnail And I", in which the character Uncle Monty declares "As a youth, I used to weep in butcher's shops."
