Moz will be fine, the album will be a success, the haters will hate, the fans will love it. Standard procedure.

The album title makes me think of the line in Only A Pawn In Their Game - Morrissey will always be his own free self - never owned, never chained, never a pawn in anyone's game. Good!
The song titles are intriguing and I can't wait to hear all of those new lyrics. It's something really wonderful to think about and look forward to! Thank you Morrissey!

I thought it was a two-album-deal to begin with. That contract is up. That's all. No word on a fall-out at this point at all.
I don't expect the title to be a jibe at BMG. The album was recorded early this year.
If anything it is aimed at his detractors. The press and those ex-fans who expected and expect him to act exactly how they would like to see him act.

Exactly, the title is aimed at those ‘fans’ who thought purchasing records meant they were buying him (rather than buying into him). I’m delighted they now all feel soundly chastised and are left to confront the inefficacy and emptiness of their colossal egos and thirsts for power. If the stance hits Morrissey’s sales it will nevertheless benefit the concert environment. ‘We’ don’t need them.

I Am Not A Dog On A Chain - Morrissey, like the rest of us, is free to do what he wants, any old time.

This news is a bit embarrassing. Horrible album title. Horrible song titles. Southpaw Grammar and Maladjusted potentially being remastered a second time?

On the bright side, there may be some unreleased material on these remasters.

Also, I highly doubt he’d be releasing the Hollywood Bowl had I not leaked it. You’re welcome.

it’s a horrible title, you’re right. Doesn’t go down well or roll off the tongue, or anything. Typical modern day Moz tho, just ham fistedly saying what he is, and isn’t. What happened to sharp, punchy album titles, like “Viva Hate”, “Kill Uncle” “Your Arsenal”, even “Years Of Refusal” & “Ringleader Of The Tormentors” sound mischievously defiant.

I AM NOT A DOG ON A CHAIN THO?? WTF!?! LOL! “Unchained dog”, Moz, just call it “Unchained dog”, if you must, “Wild dog”, “Not a racist dog”, “Doggone day”, “Doggy style”, “Dog shit”, that’s it, “Dog shit” works!

ps there better be a dog on the album cover, or some dog related merch at Mporium, I’ll be disappointed if there ain’t. Woof

Of course it’s aimed at his detractors, who else is it gonna be aimed at. Captain obvious you

The album was written & recorded while he was in the middle of this meltdown - so I expect it to be a continuation. Hopefully it doesn't have some lyric that gets him into trouble... I would never count him out forever until he's dead, but he does need to get out of this rut he's in.

There's nothing obviously politically toxic in the titles at least, so maybe we be spared an album of far-right diatribes, which was my main worry. Then again, people claimed 'Jacky' was all about Brexit, so people will read shit into anything.

brilliant album title. Brilliant song titles.

I think Costello said that
He used to write excellent titles and used to forget to write the sings.

Nowdays the titles are basic and the songs embarrassing

I know, but some thought it could be about the record company

Not buying that.

Anyone know off the top of their heads, just how many Moz albums Joe Chiccarelli has produced, & which ones they were?
I think WPINOYB, LIHS, & CS maybe?

All of them, from and including World Peace onwards, I think. And they’ve all been shit. No coincidence. He needs binned.

3, I think. World Peace, California Son & Low in High School.

They weren't THAT bad - but, I don't like his production at all. Too many ugly & disjointed sounds.

exactly, I can’t listen to them, it’s like he’s just experimenting for the sake of it, far too over indulgent & clunky. Strip back to basics I say.

Morrissey's solo albums seem to follow a pattern whereby one very good album is followed by two not-so-good albums. So, ignoring the covers album, I fear we are in for another disappointment.

get ready for more bizzare announcements a la top 5 in polish charts that never exist

I think some take a little longer to love than others, but I wouldn't call any of them disappointing.
I've not really had a good listen to CS at all; it didn't spark any interest with me.
Looking at where they charted in the UK, he's not done bad at all, although I think ROTT is a surprise No.1 position, whereas Arsenal only got to No.4.

Some great songs on all of his recent albums, but an entirely great album he has not made since YATQ I think.
However, you'll almost never hear an entirely great album these days.
