Morrissey – Make-Up Is a Lie – Red Vinyl Record

Make-Up Is a Lie returns Morrissey to Sire Records with a twelve-song studio album that places his unmistakable voice inside direct, guitar-led arrangements. The title suggests disguise and self-invention, concerns that run throughout a record populated by performers, outsiders, observers and people trying to control how they are seen. His writing remains characteristically poised between dry comedy, grievance and genuine vulnerability.

“You’re Right, It’s Time” opens with forward motion before the title track states its argument in blunt terms. “Notre-Dame” broadens the setting and introduces a more reflective mood, while “Amazona” and “Headache” return to compact, sharply phrased songwriting. The band gives the vocal room without becoming passive; guitar accents and rhythmic shifts answer the lines rather than simply supporting them.

“Boulevard” closes the first side with cinematic scale. On side two, “Zoom Zoom the Little Boy” turns an odd character sketch into one of the album’s most memorable titles, and “The Night Pop Dropped” examines popular culture with characteristic skepticism. The melodies remain central even when the lyrics are combative, preserving the tension between Morrissey’s inviting musical surfaces and his less comfortable observations.

“Kerching Kerching” brings money and performance into focus, while “Lester Bangs” invokes the famous rock critic as another figure caught between taste, celebrity and judgment. “Many Icebergs Ago” shifts toward memory, and “The Monsters of Pig Alley” closes with a darker theatrical flourish. The sequence works best as a complete album because recurring ideas about image and public identity accumulate across the individual songs.

This Sire Records edition is pressed on ruby red vinyl and carries catalog number 093624829799. It contains the full twelve-track album in a standard single-LP sequence. The red disc provides a clear visual distinction from other variants while matching the stark presentation of the sleeve. It is the appropriate listing for buyers seeking the color pressing rather than an unspecified or standard-black copy.
