Our Take
The Smiths have always been a band that divided opinions, with their melancholic lyrics and jangly guitars. Their latest release, "Strangeways, Here We Come," continues in the same vein, with Morrissey's iconic vocals taking centre stage. The album kicks off with the upbeat track "A Rush and a Push and the Land Is Ours," setting the tone for what's to come. Morrissey's lyrical wit is on full display throughout the album, with tracks like "I Started Something I Couldn't Finish" and "Paint a Vulgar Picture" showcasing his trademark dark humour. Guitarist Johnny Marr shines on tracks like "Death of a Disco Dancer," with his intricate riffs adding depth to Morrissey's poignant lyrics. The production on the album is top-notch, with each instrument perfectly balanced to create a rich, layered sound. Of course, no Smiths album would be complete without a few tear-jerkers, and "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me" delivers in spades. Morrissey's emotive vocals paired with Marr's haunting guitar work make for a truly moving experience. Overall, "Strangeways, Here We Come" is a solid addition to The Smiths' discography. While it may not be their most groundbreaking work, it's a testament to the band's enduring talent and creativity. Fans of the band will no doubt appreciate this latest offering, while newcomers may find themselves falling in love with The Smiths' unique brand of melancholy. Verdict: 8/10
