Morrissey, You Are the Quarry (* * * ) It has been seven years since Morrissey's last new CD, and what does the former Smiths frontman have to say for himself? Well, not surprisingly, a lot. He also has plenty to say about the world around him; and at a time when that world seems to make less and less sense, his mix of biting wit and forlorn but open-hearted longing can be strangely reassuring. Songs such as I Have Forgiven Jesus and America Is Not the World acknowledge the power of love in ways that Celine Dion never has or will. —Gardner
