Morrissey's new studio album, I Am Not A Dog On A Chain, is scheduled for March 2020 release by BMG. The album was recorded in St-remy, France, with producer Joe Chiccarelli. The eleven tracks are:

I Am Not A Dog On A Chain
What Kind Of People Live In These Houses?
Knockabout World
Darling, I Hug A Pillow

Morrissey has described I Am Not A Dog On A Chain as:

" … the very best of me … too good to be true … too true to be considered good … ", and concludes Morrissey's contract with BMG Records.

The first single is "Bobby, Don't You Think They Know?", which features vocals by Thelma Houston. The B-side is "Rainbow Valley", a cover of the UK hit by The Love Affair.

BMG will re-issue and re-master several Morrissey albums in 2020, with updated artwork and sleeve notes. These albums are: Southpaw Grammar, Maladjusted, You Are The Quarry, Ringleader Of The Tormentors, Years Of Refusal, Live At The Hollwood Bowl.

The Secret Of Music mystery solved.
Rainbow Valley appears again.
Reissues could be promising.
Is that a Loyd Grossman reference in the tracklist!?

“I Am Not a Dog on a Chain”? Really? That’s the title. Good grief.

Good grief, a dog is gnawing my nuts off, be a sport and pass me one of my hand embroidered handkerchiefs would you.

So no one notices James Dean giant boner then?

Only you ya pervy big girl's blouse. Stop spanking the monkey and do some housework

No not a dog on a chain. Millions of dogs on chains are cared for, cherished, loved, kept safe and protected,wonderful creatures with loving people who adore them.You are a blinkered, bigot, hypocritical,childish,disgusting racist, fake,opportunist,narcissistic horrible man. Don't insult dogs on chains with your smutty album, they are much loved.You are desperately trying to to get yourself stardom and fame but don't exploit gorgeous beloved dogs all over the world who are happily safe and loved to the moon and back on chains. Go get lost you filth.

Who says "good grief" apart from over-indulged upper class hausfraus from an Evelyn Waugh novel?

Actually, this would be a good title for the album. Kind of like "Viva Hate"..."Good Grief" like finding an appreciation for grief.,,,or not.

I will never listen to anything from this racist klansman again. Any of you who listen to or buy his awful music are actively aiding and abetting white supremacy. Shame on all of you.

It's dogmatic tools like you Morrissey is addressing.
Just like Jimmy Swaggart and his ilk, it's those who preach down to others we should beware of and despise.
I am not your dog on a chain.
People like you actually make me want to be racist, purely to piss you off lol

Hopefully, Ringleader of the Tormentors will get a decent remaster so people can finally hear it properly for what it is: his only truly great album this century.

Keeping a dog on a chain is cruel and makes them wicked. Don't get a dog if you're not going to allow them into your home as part of the family (pack). You are very misinformed on every level.

viva hate - class
Kill uncle - meh (but at least it’s fun!)
Arsenal - very good
Vauxhall - class
Southpaw - class once it grows on you
Malad - decent , some GREAT tracks
Quarry - very enjoyable and easy to listen to
Ringleader - masterpiece
Refusal - not my fave but a grower
World Peace - unadulterated shit
Low - poo poo
C.son - more poo poo

Agree. World Peace was the first time I had realized that he has lost it. Just a crappy album I NEVER listen to. Low was almost as bad and by the time he released the dreadful California Son, I had no interest whatsoever. Textbook "How to kill your career in 3 albums."

Suck his rotten meaty pole. They buried him in a coffin for kids.

Shorty!

In your humble opinion! Yawn.

They need to be chained or else they will cheat around cause they are all whores or as we call them in Sweden:

SLYNDJUR!

Reminds me it is time to feed the 3 bitches in my bunker. If they get pregnant the kid is the food.

The cast from "Pitbulls & Parolees" are less than impressed.

But they just had their only bath of the year cause these people do not do water.

 

[Anonymous]

reissue pretty much only his cr@ppy albums? why?? i assume only on "vinyl". I don't care, only interested on this:
Live At The Hollwood Bowl if it is released on CD format too if not don't care i have the DVD.

So a close contest between this title and "world peace is none of your business" for the cheeziest titles in pop ever.

Moz flips back in his chair and chews on cheese balls smelling like shit in the morning. Damon goes:

"Extra cheese this morning?"

"Always", Moz replies. "I cannot afford that expensive dick cheese imported from Sweden every Christmas now can I?".

My internship with Epstein wasn't a complete waste of time after all.

How clever can women be test:

Do you eat the fresh baby with nutritious things straight from the vomb

OR

Do you wait until it gets bigger and lasts longer?

I'm thrilled. The prospect of a new Moz album PLUS reissues of old (hard to get on vinyl) albums? Assuming its not just CD reissues BMG are planning??!!!

I’d be very surprised if they’re not reissued on vinyl, especially with the vinyl revival in full swing.

Also, aren’t all the albums already readily available on c.d?

“You are desperately trying to to get yourself stardom and fame”

Really?

Maybe you haven’t noticed, but Morrissey has been a famous star for decades already.

You sound unhinged.
