Poor old Morrissey, he always manages to spuff things up a little bit, doesn’t he? After slowly regaining the goodwill he ruined ten years ago, he goes and gives an encore-less stropfest at the Palladium.

And, after releasing the bizarrely chirpy You Have Killed Me single from his Morrissey Goes Happy album Ringleader Of The Tormentors, Morrissey decides to release The Youngest Was The Most Loved as the follow-up. It’s a song about the childhood of a sociopathic murderer, not really the most radio-friendly of subject matters. Morrissey being Morrissey, though, The Youngest Was The Most Loved is something of a corker. The Youngest Was The Most Loved is a proper Morrissey epic, and it’s got something that sounds suspiciously like a children’s choir in it, making The Youngest Was The Most Loved kind of like Morrissey’s Grandma We Love You, only about a murderer.
