how many "greatest hits" albums does one need to put out??

well, to me it isnt even about that, but the tracklisting is kind of shit. Four songs off ROTT? seriously? there is so much else to choose from.

I'll buy it for the bonus disc. I was there with mikeysybs

The fresh heartbreak was, in a sense, like being in a foreign country; everything seemed alien, brilliant and glinting. It was as if I’d been flayed, so that even the air hurt. When you’re that unhappy, any glimmer of beauty or consolation feels like running into an old friend abroad, or seeing mountaintops through smog. Maybe we mistakenly think we want “happiness,” which we tend to picture in very vague, soft-focus terms, when what we really crave is the harder-edged intensity of experience.

Maybe its heavier on the newer stuff because a lot of the older tracks were on the Suedehead best of. I respect Morrissey and consider myself a fan of his music, but he seems to like re-issuing CDs and stuff. At least they'll be a new track.

The NME strung together 6 sentences about him without calling him racist somewhere along the line?
