Meat Is Murder is a bit of a departure from their first release ... Morrissey is still crooning his typical depressing sarcasmatron lyrics, but the tone is more personal and serious, with relatable insight about teen angst, corporal punishment, politics, vegetarianism ... etc. The Warholian cover kinda gives that away. The music is a jumble of jangly New Wave with hints of Rockabillied Funk, kinda weird to say, but sounds good to hear! All you need to remember next time you have a nice steak dinner, "the meat in your mouth, as you savour the flavour of MURDER." Yum!
