10 items currently available. Your Arsenal, pubblicato nel luglio del 1992, ha segnato una piccola svolta per Morrissey. La produzione di Mick Ronson, chitarrista di David Bowie, tragicamente scomparso circa un anno dopo, si fa sentire con riff di chitarre e distorsori.
Il titolo è un'amalgama di giochi di parole: il chiaro "Your Arse 'n all" ("il tuo buco del culo ed il resto", il riferimento alla squadra inglese dell'Arsenal (vedi "We'll Let You Know"), "il tuo arsenale" inteso come dotazione sessuale di un fantomatico interlocutore, un possibile riferimento alla critica musicale inglese. Letteralmente "Il tuo arsenale" con chiaro riferimento all'equipaggiamento sessuale del suo interlocutore.
Your Arsenal, released in July 1992, signified a slight change in direction for Morrissey. The producer Mick Ronson, David Bowie's guitarist, who tragically died about one year later, added distortion-drenched guitar riffs.
The title is an amalgam of puns: the obvious "Your Arse 'n all" (this interpretation is supported by a photograph on the Greatest Hits album sleeve where Morrissey's posterior is visible with the phrase "your arse an' all" written on it), or a reference to the football team Arsenal (see "We'll Let You Know" - the idea of a football club or team, evoking a sense of belonging and shared identity. The album's sound incorporates football-related samples and lyrical themes, which is linked to the football anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone"), as well as possibly referring to opposing music critics.
