In some alternate universe, Morrissey’s turned his back on this music lark for a life as a beloved raconteur: a former pop star who’s left his singing and gladioli-swinging behind him for a cushy gig as a snarky media darling. Release Date: Jul 15, 2014 Record label: Virgin EMI Genre(s): Pop/Rock, Alternative/Indie Rock.

Dense and forbidding, World Peace Is None of Your Business amps up that approach even further. Gusts of electronic noise blow through the songs, a didgeridoo groans mournfully, the drumming is sometimes coated with a layer of fuzz and often collapses into lugubrious stamping, and the guitars seem to spend as much time clanking, humming and shrieking with feedback as they do being played; when they are, they're often distorted to the point at which they sound decayed. Tumultuous enough, in fact, that you're occasionally struck by the rare sensation that you're listening to a Morrissey album on which Morrissey's presence isn't central to your enjoyment. Lyrically, his genius flickers often enough to remind you how great he can be.

Set to arrangements as spartan as the album title, Songs finds John Fullbright more concerned with the act of writing than with illuminating a subject. Write a song about the very song you sing, pen a line about a line within a line, as he puts it in Write a Song : it rolls nicely off the tongue, but where to? Songs is full of this kind of smooth locution, as in: If you never knew what never was, you’d never cry again.

Overall Impression - 5 Musically, Morrissey provides satisfying elaboration throughout " World Peace Is None of Your Business. The worldliness of sound in the album is a good call, not only because it fits the concept of the album, but because as Morrissey ages, his fanbase also ages, so this step towards a more adult-contemporary sound (whether intentional or coincidental) comes out as beneficial overall.

1000 copies exclusive to Hot Topic pressed on pink and orange vinyl. Pressing colours vary between combinations of orange and pink.

All is not well in the singer's world, and ardent fans (are there really any other kind?) wouldn't have it any other way. In comparison to the compact rush of Morrissey's previous album, "Years of Refusal," produced by the late pop-punk guru Jerry Finn, "World Peace" is dour and slow-moving.

World Peace Is None of Your Business (2014). Singles from Years of Refusal. That's How People Grow Up" Released: 4 February 2008. Years of Refusal is the ninth studio album by English alternative rock singer Morrissey It was the last album completed by producer Jerry Finn before his death. The album is also notable for being the first Morrissey album since Your Arsenal not to feature Alain Whyte on lead guitar, who is permanently replaced by Jesse Tobias. The album marks his final writing collaborations with Morrissey, after Whyte confirmed it was unlikely he would collaborate with Morrissey again.
