Our Take

Ah, Playland, the sophomore album from Johnny Marr, the guitar legend infamous for his work with The Smiths. Marr is back with his signature jangly riffs and clever lyrics that would make Morrissey proud.

The album kicks off with the infectious track "Back in the Box", a funky groove that will have you tapping your toes in no time. Marr's guitar work is as crisp and clean as ever, showing off his technical prowess while still maintaining that effortless coolness.

Tracks like "Easy Money" and "Dynamo" are instant classics, with catchy hooks and catchy lyrics that will have you singing along after just one listen. Marr's voice, though not as powerful as some of his contemporaries, adds a unique charm to the songs that is undeniably his own.

Playland is a testament to Marr's staying power in the music industry, proving that he is still a force to be reckoned with. With each track, Marr showcases his versatility as a musician, seamlessly blending elements of rock, pop, and even a touch of punk.
