I really like the album. According to the Guardian: " Visconti treats him as a handsome Latino melodramatist suffering from a kitsch surfeit of imagination as much as a damp, exiled Mancunian miserabilist with a cold tendency to nostalgic self-obsession. Ultimately, Visconti helps transform Morrissey's dogged oddness and phenomenal fussiness into pure magic. Love him or hate him, there's no one better at loving and hating."

Album Notes
The latest in a long line of stray track compilations that stretches all the way back to BONA DRAG, if not HATFUL OF HALLOW, 2009's SWORDS gathers up 18 highlights from the B-sides of singles from YOU ARE THE QUARRY, RINGLEADER OF THE TORMENTORS, and YEARS OF REFUSAL-- the three albums that constitute the great Moz comeback of the new millennium. Not all the flipsides are here, but all the noteworthy ones are, including a cameo from Chrissie Hynde on "Shame Is the Name," a cover of David Bowie's "Drive-In Saturday" with new lyrics all about the New York Dolls.
