Call the Comet received generally positive reviews from music critics upon its release. At Metacritic, which assigns a rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album scored an average rating of 78, based on 16 reviews.[1] Writing for the Associated Press, Mark Kennedy opined that it was "easily his best as a solo artist, deep and rich both musically and lyrically" before concluding, "So feel free to stay in bed, Morrissey. Marr is who we need now."[12] Writing for Hot Press, Edwin McFee rated the album 8 out of 10.[13] MusicOMH contributor Neil Dowden awarded the album 4 out of 5 stars, calling it Marr's "most ambitious and interesting work under his own name".[14] Creative Loafing contributor Gabe Echazabal rated it 4.5 out of 5, writing, "Call the Comet is, simply put, Marr's strongest solo effort. It's a magnificent piece of work that serves as a true testament to the idea that Marr has plenty to offer musically at this stage of his career, and it clearly showcases his continued and ever-present vitality."[15] Clash Music contributor Will Rosebury rated the album 7/10 and called it "easily Johnny Marr’s most confident solo album".[16]

Robert Steiner of The Boston Globe, however, disagreed with those other critics, starting his review by writing that Marr's time with the Smiths cemented his legacy as one of rock's greatest sidemen, "[b]ut that's the key word: sidemen." He went on to write that Marr is at his best working with other creative minds and all he does as a solo artist is "produce groggy rehashes of old Brit-rock tropes he helped create three decades ago." He concluded his review by stating Call the Comet could be a passable album if it was the work of a young band rather than someone "who inspired guitarists in some of those bands to pick up their instruments in the first place."[17]

Writing for Pitchfork, contributor Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave a more mixed rating of 6/10, writing that after spending "a quarter-century as a hired gun, roaming from project to project", Marr "is starting to slow down in his middle age".[18]

Johnny Marr (2012)

Johnny Marr (* 31. Oktober 1963 als John Martin Maher in Manchester) ist ein englischer Musiker. Er wurde in den Achtzigerjahren als Gitarrist und, neben Morrissey, Songwriter der stilbildenden Indie-Rock-Band The Smiths bekannt.

Leben

Marr wuchs in Manchester auf. Das Gitarrespielen lernte er bei dem ebenfalls aus Manchester stammenden Musiker und späteren The-Cult-Gitarristen Billy Duffy.[1] Seinen Künstlernamen nahm er an, da sein Geburtsname Maher immer wieder falsch ausgesprochen wurde und der Schlagzeuger der Buzzcocks ebenfalls John Maher hieß.[2]<
