Where this album fits

Career context
Released in 2008, 'Greatest Hits' compiles tracks from Morrissey's solo career following his departure from The Smiths in the late 1980s. By this point, he had established himself as a significant figure in alternative music, with several critically acclaimed albums under his belt, including 'You Are the Quarry' (2004), which marked his commercial resurgence.
