Your Arsenal
Your Arsenal is the third studio album by English singer Morrissey, released on 27 July 1992 by record label His Master's Voice.
The album received critical acclaim and reached number 4 on the UK Albums Chart.
Morrissey had been rehearsing with a new band prior to the release of Your Arsenal, which was the first official album of this new line-up.
Commencing with "You're Gonna Need Someone on Your Side", the album represents a clear change in direction for Morrissey from indie pop to a more muscular rock sound; with some elements of rockabilly. It also contains a glam rock influence, due to the involvement of ex-David Bowie guitarist Mick Ronson as producer. "Certain People I Know", "Glamorous Glue" and "I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday", are respectively influenced by T. Rex, and David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust period songs (e.g. "The Jean Genie" and the last by "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide"). Bowie himself later covered the track "I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday" on his 1993 album Black Tie White Noise.
Your Arsenal was released on 27 July 1992 by record label His Master's Voice. It reached number 4 on the UK Albums Chart.
The album earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best Alternative Music Album.
In 2014, Rhino Records issued a "Definitive Master" of the album. This version was remastered and substitutes the original album version of "Tomorrow" for the U.S. single mix. It also includes a bonus DVD of a 1991 concert from Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California.
Your Arsenal was praised by critics. Robert Christgau of The Village Voice called it his "most consistent solo set to date". Bill Wyman of Entertainment Weekly wrote that guitarist Alain Whyte "provides the very melodic, sometimes rockabilly-inflected settings Morrissey demands, and frequently they end up triumphant."
