Maladjusted by Morrissey

Maladjusted, Morrissey's sixth studio album, came out on Island Records on 11 August 1997, and it's the sound of the old Smiths frontman sulking magnificently in the margins while the Britpop crowd he helped inspire hogged the spotlight. Steve Lillywhite produced, giving the band a brisk, guitar-forward polish.
The crooning baritone is intact, and so is the knack for the barbed, self-mocking aside, with "Alma Matters" as the record's most tuneful moment. But the reception was lukewarm, from critics and the faithful alike, and it became a full stop of sorts: after relocating to Los Angeles, Morrissey went quiet, and no new studio album arrived for seven years, until You Are the Quarry in 2004.
