Épisode 54

mardi 8 avril 2025 • Durée 01:28:40

This week, Paul and Nick dive deep into Morrissey's often-overlooked 1997 album Maladjusted — a record that arrived at a crossroads in the former Smiths frontman's solo career. Misjudged by critics? Overshadowed by his earlier triumphs? Or a hidden gem filled with lyrical intrigue and sonic surprises?

We explore:

The context of Maladjusted in the late-'90s Britpop aftermath
Why this album marked a shift in Morrissey’s public and musical persona
The controversial “Sorrow Will Come in the End” and the spectre of legal battles
Standout tracks and forgotten moments
The legacy of Maladjusted and its place in Moz's discography

Whether you're a devoted Moz disciple or a curious casual, this is the episode to reconsider one of his most enigmatic records.
