Our Take

PATTI SMITH Original Album Classics Review:

Patti Smith, the High Priestess of Punk, has gifted us mere mortals with a collection of her original album classics that will have you dancing in your Doc Martens and pondering the meaning of life in no time. This box set features five of her most iconic albums, including the seminal "Horses" and the rebellious "Easter".

Smith's trademark blend of poetry, punk rock attitude, and unapologetic social commentary is on full display here, with each album showcasing her raw, unbridled talent and fearless spirit. From the hauntingly beautiful "Ghost Dance" to the anthemic "Rock n Roll N***er", Smith's lyrics cut straight to the core and force you to confront the harsh realities of the world we live in.

But don't let her serious side fool you - Smith also knows how to have a damn good time. Tracks like "Because the Night" and "Dancing Barefoot" are sure to get your blood pumping and your feet moving, while her cover of Van Morrison's "Gloria" is a raucous, rollicking good time.

So whether you're a die-hard Patti Smith fan or a newcomer to her legendary catalogue, this box set is a must-have addition to your music collection. Just be prepared to be swept up in Smith's poetic whirlwind and emerge on the other side a changed, enlightened soul. Trust us, it's worth it.

About the artist

Patti Smith

Patti Smith, the legendary rocker known for her revolutionary spirit and poetic lyrics, has been shaking up the music scene for over four decades. With her unique blend of punk, poetry, and rock 'n' roll, Smith has cemented her place as one of the most influential artists in the industry. Born in Chicago in 1946, Smith moved to New York City in the early 1970s and quickly became a fixture in the downtown music scene. With her band The Patti Smith Group, she released her debut album "Horses" in 1975, which is still regarded as a classic today. With songs like "Gloria" and "Land of a Thousand Dances," Smith's raw, unapologetic energy captivated audiences and critics alike. But Smith is not just a musician—she is also an accomplished poet, writer, and visual artist. Her memoir "Just Kids," which chronicles her relationship with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, won the National Book Award for Nonfiction in 2010. And her photography and visual art have been exhibited in galleries around the world. Despite her many accolades and accomplishments, Smith remains humble and down-to-earth. She continues to perform live, enchanting audiences with her powerful vocals and electric stage presence. With her trademark mix of punk attitude and poetic sensibility, Patti Smith is a true icon of the music world and a force to be reckoned with.
