Innocent man? You’re having a laugh, surely. Perhaps, but this is the true return of The Mack. The lead track off what is amazingly only his second album, is a hilarious tale about Mark Morrison’s time in "county jail" (you get them in the UK?) and how misunderstood he is. Like Pink!

After achieving fly-by-night success with that single, about a decade ago now, Morrison did little but get arrested. He also got arrested. And now, with that unmistakeable lilt he puts forward his hollow claims of virtue against a plodding backdrop of risible soul singers. Even the brief collaboration with the mighty DMX (another convicted felon) towards the end of the song fails to help. Furthermore, I feel slightly violated after listening to this rubbish. Police!

The Mack is back and he looks a bit like Djibril Cisse, which means he has very little to offer and he’s probably going to get arrested again. Hopefully soon.

Bloody hell! He's still around/alive?

Who'd have thunk it.


Yes

THAT single was great. (Even if it kept A Design For Life off number one)

But apart from that...


well, people did want more 1/10 reviews.

"After achieving fly-by-night success with that single, about a decade ago now, Morrison did little but get arrested. He also got arrested." = DiS quote of the week!


woops

i read this as a review of mark morris.
no wonder i was left confused.


to be fair

i'd like to see how mark morriss did in 'county'


...

my mate pissed on his front gate.
Ha ha ha.


Sorry

but what is the point of this review?


the point?`

is surely that the new Mark Morrison single is not very good..

how did you manage to miss that general theme???


pissed

My brother pissed on Spunge's tour van and my friend Andy pissed on Martin Grech's tour van.

They both had their reasons.


My mate pissed on Hundred Reasons' tour bus

A pattern emerges...

...and a strong aroma of stale piss.


return of his mac...

....or even the community service stand in...

And people say Leicester is not pulling it's weight with new music. Ha ha ha ha ha! Oh how we typed.


oh oh oh oh ohhhhhhh

No way - this has to be from at least his third album. I know this simply because I was in Tesco once ... either in the very late 90s or very early 00s and his new record "Only God Can Judge Me" was at a "special price" of £2.99. I didn't buy it, I got a Finest spinach and ricotta pizza instead. You can't eat a Mark Morrison album.
