Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released in 2001, 'The Best of Morrissey' arrives during a period of reestablishment for the artist after his solo career began in the mid-1990s. By this time, he had solidified his status as a solo act following the dissolution of The Smiths and faced both commercial successes and challenges. This compilation not only highlights his earlier hits but also serves as a retrospective of his evolving artistry.
