"‘The Truth About Ruth’ has some twinkling piano keys to open this quite dark refrain, a real kind of torch song. A fairly lengthy piece ‘The Secret of Music’ runs at just under eight minutes long and is the penultimate song on the album. I found the rhythmic drum beat with Morrissey`s vocal delivery laid atop quite mesmerising and hypnotic. The song will get into your subconscious, it`s so subtly spellbinding. ‘My Hurling Days Are Done’ closes out this offering and it`s again another reflective track that builds musically and has some graceful almost choral childlike harmonies. I have so say I wasn`t sure what to expect but any misgivings I may have anticipated were overcome. It`s somewhat different musically but still recognisable as Morrissey and a Morrissey back at the top of his game"
