Are there any swear words on this album? Just wondering because I'm probably going to pick up the Walmart Exclusive Deluxe Edition, and Walmart is notorious for censoring music. It could sway my decision. I know a lot of their latter-day output has a F-bomb or two in it...........

I like it! Sure, at 80 minutes (the deluxe) it´s far too long. But take the ten best tracks and you have what is probably the best Smith since rocks.
Suffers from the Keith syndrome. Three Joe Perry vocals is at least two too many. Mr Perry r e a l l y is not a singer. And the Hamilton vocal on the extra disc is earnest, but... not great.
And there are too many ballads. What could have been love is truly awful. More like What could have been a song. Makes me remember mr Perry´s words "Ballads are a waste of plastic."
Love xxx is like a freight train. Street Jesus is indeed great. There are several great rockers and a strangely compelling ballad / rocker called Beautiful.
Highly recommended! Which is a bit of a surprise.
I pretty much agree with this except that I like What Could Have Been Love (the only ballad on the album I really like), don't know whether Another Last Goodbye would fall under the ballad category but I like that one too. And then all the rockers. Don't like Beautiful, and the only Joe Perry song I like is Freedom Fighter. Totally agree about there being too many ballads, the rock songs being surprisingly good, Hamilton's song being nice to include but not really good, and that you pick the best ten and its a really solid album.Quote
