     "I do not read newspapers, they are troublemakers," sings          
     Morrissey on the title track of I Am Not a Dog on a Chain,         
     echoing the sentiment he laid bare on "Spent the Day in Bed," the  
     first single pulled from 2017's Low in High School, which was his  
     last album of original material prior to this 2020 set. Morrissey  
     is working once again with Joe Chiccarelli -- the pair struck up   
     a collaboration back in 2014 with World Peace Is None of Your      
     Business -- and picking up the threads they left hanging on Low    
     in High School, pushing the sounds and ideas that hovered in the   
     margins into the center. The shift is apparent when "Jim Jim       
     Falls" kicks off the album with a frenetic electronic squawk, the  
     funkiest -- and synthiest -- sound to be heard on a Morrissey      
     album in many years, if not ever. The rest of I Am Not a Dog on a  
     Chain follows suit, with Morrissey pushing his rhythms hard and    
     embracing a bevy of adventurous, steely, and ornate textures, not  
     to mention extending an invitation to Thelma Houston -- the disco  
     queen known for "Don't Leave Me This Way" -- to wail on "Bobby,    
     Don't You Think They Know." Occasionally, he slides into familiar  
     territory -- "What Kind of People Live in These Houses" revives a  
     Smiths-ian jangle -- but these tracks almost feel like mile        
     markers left to illustrate how far the rest of the album wanders.  
     This aural rush is so bracing, it nearly disguises how I Am Not a  
     Dog on a Chain showcases a Morrissey who seems comfortable in his  
     role as a cantankerous curmudgeon taking jabs at former allies.    
     Set aside this inclination toward sneering solipsism, which not    
     only characterizes but enlivens nearly every song, and I Am Not a  
     Dog on a Chain is one of the better latter-day Morrissey records:  
     the sense of musical daring reveals how placid and complacent      
     he's been for the better part of a decade.
