For Morrissey's recent Greatest Hits release, I'm not going to comment too much on the music, because I love this guy's tunage. I think the songs are all ace and there's not a clunker on the set. What I will say, however, is that this set is ideal for two people: fans like myself who took forever to become the full-fledged, product-buying variety and older Moz fans who haven't kept up with his output this decade as closely as they did the rest of his career. The set contains his singles released in the 2000s, plus a few random early classics tossed in for good measure. There are also two excellent new tracks: "That's How People Grow Up" and "All You Need Is Me."
The disc itself emulates the look of a vinyl LP, which I always find to be an attractive design. The liner notes, while light on informative text, have two cool pictures: one of the backing musicians, as taken by Moz himself, and one of Morrissey's arse bearing a punny legend. The purple colour scheme of the booklet and other art is very attractive, focusing mainly on lilac.
Quality product, as is to only be expected, considering the artist. Rock on.
