Swords (compilation)

[album rate: 3,5 / 5]

Compilation album by Morrissey consisting of B-sides to single releases from his most recent 3 albums: You Are the Quarry (2004), Ringleader of the Tormentors (2006), and Years of Refusal (2009).
The album is actually pretty decent and Morrissey just really (again) documents his songwriting capabilities. The regular album consists of 18 tracks, whereas a 2-disc Deluxe Edition contains an 8-tracks live bonus disc with songs from a live concert in Warsaw.
