[QUOTE="Ketamine Sun, post: 1987363382, member: 26315"] I think Johnny felt that he was to some degree being ‘experimental’ by using less guitar ‘jangly guitar’ on Strangeways. Was Viva Hate for you more experimental? Is that what you mean? You mean darker? I think Morrissey’s humor combined with the subject matter and his lyrics against Marr’s backing made it more interesting and palatable to new listeners, drawing them in. Sometimes you can’t have it dark without the light for contrast and balance, yin/yang. Without that balance the dark just becomes depressing like Joy Division or even (to me) early Dylan. You mean like the way he mostly writes now? I don’t know where that would be, unless they went totally weird and uncommercial. I mean they couldn’t go anywhere, there was limitations especially with Joyce who was not a jazz player as just one example. I think they were completely original and daring, especially for the time.
