It's been like this for Johnny Marr since before his 2. Morrissey. To say Marr ran up the score on his legacy with the Smiths, and has been treading water ever since, would be reductive. But Marr has been playing with house money for as long as many of today's indie- poppers chasing . Johnny Marr is an institution now- - and institutions are supposed to stay in the same place, right where we left them, until they topple over. Johnny Marr; The Messenger. Johnny Marr & The Healers: Boomslang. Marr (hopefully) has. So, now that his extended tenure as a gun for hire appears to have been put on hold, he's set about making his first proper solo record, The Messenger. The Messenger is precisely the big, bright, jangly guitar rock LP that Smiths fans would have killed for in 1. The record's immediately appealing . In 2. 01. 3, though, The Messenger exists in its own, hermetically sealed context. As Marr recently told Pitchfork, The Messenger was consciously crafted to appeal to his old fans. I don't want to please them. The guitar tones on this record are fantastic- - which is to say, they instantly bring to mind the dense, intricate, and yet lightly airy riffs that Marr strummed over Morrissey's asexual witticisms in the mid- 1. The title track is another instant grabber, marrying disco rhythms with Marr's spidery guitar over a bed of mood- setting synths. Marr is still a top- flight musician, but he's not really a true solo artist. As a vocalist, he's a warm if unexceptional presence; he tends to get lost inside his own immaculately constructed guitar cathedrals, particularly when he has nothing to say in his lyrics. In the latter half of The Messenger, even Marr's playing starts to lose some of its vigor; . The result is a record that grabs your attention initially, but is unlikely to hold it in the long view. Not that it matters- - Marr was a legend before this record, and he'll still be one after it. The Messenger won't be included in the body of work that made Marr great, but it's a solid approximation of his strengths. Johnny Marr: Playland Album Review. In the Smiths, Marr was the preeminent guitar stylist of his generation. Glam, folk- rock, post- punk, funk, rockabilly, and a certain ineffable. But while his erstwhile Smiths- mate Morrissey has taken his own primrose path down self- parodying mediocrity with this year. Which makes sense: Marr never had as high a profile or ego as Morrissey, and that low- key humility has made him a fan favorite. But who knew that the least satisfying thing Johnny Marr could ever do would be launching a solo career? Yet here we are with Playland, the second official solo album by the former Smiths guitarist (or third, if you count Boomslang, his 2. Johnny Marr & the Healers). Both feature listless songcraft, lackluster vocals, and a dull pulverization of every Britpop trope imaginable (not that imagination had anything to do with the making of this record). Worst of all, though, is the oppressive truth lurking behind almost every tired lick and lazy lyric of Playland: Marr can, and has, done so much better. We root for him, though, and in return he gives us . Is it supposed to remind us that money is a bad thing, or that it? If his curious status as a New Order/Joy Division fanboy is in question, he titles two consecutive tracks on Playland. Johnny Marr Healers Boomslang RareThe.H.1963-2003-CD2.rar.
