Reviews Customer Reviews for You Are The Quarry Jewel Case      could it be i like you?      Rating:      for some unspeakable reason, i didn't buy this album when it was released. actually i didn't buy it until after buying and devouring "the ringleader of the tormentors." i enjoyed that one so much that i backed up to this one. i played it until i thought i should give it a rest. the rest period lasted about two weeks. i had to get it back out. i'll just buy another one if it begins to wear out. to be honest, i don't really understand my obsession with it. i utterly despise greatest hits collections...and, though this isn't one, it could be. there is not one weak song; not one weak moment. his voice is in excellent form. his wit is still peerless. the writing is flawless. i find myself dancing through the house when it's on; i find myself singing along in the car. it's not the smiths, but it doesn't try to be. these are the insights of our morrissey with some years under his belt. those years haven't tarnished his ability to speak his truths, which apparently encompass some truths of my own. thanks to this work, i have been driven to re-experience all of morrissey's work...from "viva hate" all the way to the present. he has created an awesome body of work. anyone who enjoys this album should pick up "who put the m in manchester." having never had the privilege of seeing morrissey live, it's fun to watch him bring many of the songs on this album to life on the stage. our morrissey is a real character.     Customer Reviews for You Are The Quarry Jewel Case Cd      Simply a very good album      Rating:      I've never been a Smiths fan, or a Morrissey fan for what matters. I knew who the Moz was, of course -it would have been hard not to, being a teenager in the 80's and all- but for decades I was only dimly aware of Bigmouth or Sunday playing on the radio, as sort of a household soundtrack for my teenage memories. About a year ago, however, I heard "Let me kiss you" on the train and it brought back all those feelings of helpless childish infatuation, when you felt you were the ugliest duckling around and the object of your affection was oh so unreachable. It really moved me, and I thought maybe there's more to Morrissey than meets the eye. I mean the ear. Whatever. And some weeks later, Hector came riding those guitars with a gun in his hand, stealing from the rich and the poor and the not very rich (me!) and the very poor, and the Moz stole my heart away. What I'm saying is, this is a great album, period. I don't know about earlier or later works, nor do I care: taken as a unit, this album is highly enjoyable. Yes he's whiny at times, no I couldn't care less if he's forgiven Jesus or not, but hey, we already know what the Moz is like sometimes. He's that slightly embarrasing uncle who brings those great presents and has those great stories to tell when he comes to visit. Put the embarrasing aside, and there's a fistful of great stories/songs, to enjoy here. Editorial Reviews for You Are The Quarry Jewel Case Audio Cd      Amazon.com      Morrissey's first new album since the nineties is a triumph. Powered by a formidable quartet, the twin guitars spit fire that matches every wounded issue Morrissey tears into. Never one to mince words, he comes out swinging, taking America to task and then turning his attention on his homeland with the blistering "Irish Blood, English Heart." You Are the Quarry is so effective because it's less an overt rallying cry than a heartfelt plea for the world to make sense to him again. Elsewhere, relationships are given such a uniquely vibrant vantage point as to render any other angle blind. His wordplay mixes the coy invention of Cole Porter with a feisty contemporary showman's sense of stagecraft, wit, and drama. "Close your eyes, and think of someone you physically admire, and let me kiss you." It doesn't get much better to that. And wedded to charging hooks, these songs will move into your head and never leave. --David Greenberger
