My top 5 are:

Once I saw the River Clean
I love the poignant and autobiographical lyircs. And the music and the shouts are so eerie and cool sounding. Also, the Irish inspired outro reminds me so much of the fiddle outro to “Baba O’Reilly” by The Who.

I am Not a Dog on a Chain
So good. Love the slant rhymes like “newspapers” with “troublemakers”.

Knockabout World

The Secret of Music

Bobby
 
Every Song / Track has a Good Taste ... After Listening To The Whole Record In Full Many Times .. I Found That It's Better For Morrissey To Perform " Bobby Don't You Think They Know? " Without a Duet ...

Once I Saw The River Clean - 8.5/10
The Truth About Ruth - 6/10
The Secret Of Music - unexpectedly good instrumentals, 8/10
My Hurling Days Are Done - 7/10

lyrics are mostly good or pretty good (like in Jim Jim Falls & Once I Saw The River Clean), but lack of vocals acrobatics that could be heard in 'Low In High School' (Jacky's Only Happy When She's Up On The Stage & Never Again Will I Be A Twin) is a bit of disappointment. overall, suddenly good album with some catchy instrumentals and good lyrics, 7.5/10

Jim Jim Falls - 8.5/10
Love Is On Its Way Out - 7.5/10
Bobby, Don't You Think They Know? - 4/10
I Am Not A Dog On A Chain - 5.5/10
What Kind of People Live In These Houses? - 6/10
Knockabout World - 5/10
Darling, I Hug A Pillow - 5/10
Once I Saw The River Clean - 10/10
The Truth About Ruth - 4/10
The Secret Of Music - 3/10
My Hurling Days Are Done - 6/10

What Kind of People sounds like a B-Side from around the time of Bona Drag. Overall, (yet) another album that doesn't blow me away, though it's an improvement of the last two.
