You Are The Quarry is reviewed in this morning's Metro (London's free paper). It's awarded 2 stars out of 5. Here's the text: No stones in Quarry Seven years in America, and the best pronouncement on it Morrissey can come up with is 'Your belly's too big', on the equally though-provokingly titled America Is Not The World. Really Moz? We hadn't noticed. Morrissey's eighth album You Are The Quarry is so pat in places that it turns Morrissey into a parody of himself: awkward relationship with England - check (Irish Blood, English Heart); awkward relationship with the world in general - check (This World Is Full Of Crashing Bores). Musically, it is both clean and grand; lyrically the many clichés obscure the quality of more self-scrutinising songs such as I'm Not Sorry, Let Me Kiss You and the excellent First Of The Gang To Die. Somewhere in there is a good album struggling to get out: it's likely only diehard aficionados will have the patience to coax it.

"Men behaving badly" is a great cultural touchstone, according to "metro." Best avoided.
