Our Take
Ah, The Smiths. The band that defined a generation of self-pitying, angst-ridden youths with their melancholic lyrics and jangly guitars. Their 1986 album, "The Queen Is Dead," is a prime example of their bittersweet charm. Morrissey's signature crooning vocals are on full display here, accompanied by Johnny Marr's intricate guitar work that effortlessly weaves in and out of each track. From the infectious opening track "The Queen Is Dead" to the hauntingly beautiful "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out," this album is a rollercoaster of emotions. Lyrically, Morrissey is at his finest, blending witty wordplay with heart-wrenching tales of unrequited love and existential despair. His ability to make you simultaneously laugh and cry is truly unparalleled. The production on this album is top-notch, with each instrument shining through in the mix and creating a lush soundscape that envelops the listener. The dynamic range on songs like "Bigmouth Strikes Again" and "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others" is truly impressive, showcasing Marr's skill as a guitarist. Overall, "The Queen Is Dead" is a timeless classic that solidifies The Smiths' place in music history. It's a must-listen for any fan of melancholic indie rock, or anyone in need of a good cry. So grab your eyeliner and black turtleneck, and prepare to be whisked away on a journey of heartbreak and longing. Cheers, mate.
