No worries, Ringleaders does have a strange sound to it, and I mean that in the sense that it all sounds like one big song put together but I blame that on the way it was mixed. I don't hate it but it's nowhere near Viva Hate or anything. I just enjoy a few of the songs but can't listen all at once.

I think Ringleaders of the Tormentors is the lowest album in Morrissey' s career...
