Morrissey rose to prominence in the '80s as the vocalist for influential British band The Smiths. His eighth solo album, "Ringleader of the Tormentors," hit the streets last April, and followed 2004's "You Are The Quarry." According to his bio, "Ringleader" is the most disturbing record Morrissey has made since his work with The Smiths and it also marks the first time the singer, who previously took a vow of celibacy, sings graphically about sex.
A few songs from "Ringleader" are streaming at Morrissey's MySpace page, where the full album is available for download.
