Just to help Central:
It's Over was released as an instant grat & pre-order bonus - February 25/26, 2019 (followed by Morning Starship - both getting airplay).
It's Over was then nightmarishly released as a physical 7" - (initially December 20, 2019) January 24, 2020.
The first actual "single" from California Son was Wedding Bell Blues 7" - May 10, 2019.

[The Wild Turkey]

do you really want the whole album being auto-tuned?

Not sure what effects they 're usin', but I like how raw
of a performance Moz gave.
They didn't try to get a perfect vocal.
Moz sounds kinda carefree.
That band is swingin' too.

Just heard Rebels on Sirius XMU satellite radio, I like it just like it is...way too much overreaction over this...it's upbeat and miles ahead of anything else out there
recently released...

 

[ThePoliticalRevolution]

I prefer his rich baritone to helium induced auto-tune. No bueno.

i like it but i am biased. but i do think the marketing is a little funky. but im not the boss of that dude.

 

[NealCassidy]

Has anyone slowed down the vocal please?

 

[BrokenFrame]

The perfectionist in me wants to cry, but I still have some hope for the album.

See, there ya have it.
Don't even know who Joe P is.

a comedian with a high pitched voice, I thought you might have youtubed it out of curiousity. Oh well.

There ya have it, I don't even know what google is.

This wouldn't happen to Tom Jones.

Someone did in the other thread earlier. Well, they slowed down the track completely actually.

The perfectionist in me wants to cry, but I still have some hope for the album.

I completely agree. It's a disaster. I cannot understand those who think it's okay or even amazing. That's bizarre to me.

Agree. Say what you want about Morrissey but the man has a one of a kind beautiful voice. You're going to mess with it with some stupid effect? Absolutely unforgiveable.

you guys are so negative. i think he sounds sweet and sexy. father forgive me, *crosses self*

He certainly does! I don't know what they were thinking. These days many people require these tricks and effects because they simply haven't strong enough vocals for to be able to carry the song and need a little help along the way. However, he is not one of those people.

I am so glad someone else sees it the same way.

 

[Anonymous moz junky]

Had to come to a morrissey fan message board to be convinced to not like morrissey's new single. He really is the pope of mope and the hardcore fans prove it

 

[theprivilegeismine]

It isn't being negative; it's being realistic. As I said to someone earlier, being a huge fan and criticising when something goes wrong are not mutually exclusive.

Disappointment came to me and booted me and bruised and hurt me


This quote perfectly describes my feelings about the song that seemed to be really cool for a few months. Yes , there are things worse in life than that damn auto-tune but ...
