Our Take

Album Review: SMITHS - The Queen Is Dead

Ah, The Smiths. The band that inspired a million swooning indie kids to pick up a guitar and mope about their unrequited crushes. And what better album to encapsulate their unique blend of melancholy and wit than "The Queen Is Dead"? Morrissey's crooning vocals, Johnny Marr's jangly guitar, and the rhythm section of Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce combine to create a musical masterpiece that is as timeless as it is bittersweet.

From the opening track "The Queen Is Dead" with its cheeky chorus of "Life is very long, when you're lonely" to the hauntingly beautiful "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out", this album is a rollercoaster of emotions that will have you simultaneously dancing and crying in your bedroom.

Morrissey's lyrics are as sharp as ever, touching on themes of alienation, love, and societal hypocrisy with a wry sense of humour that is quintessentially British. Whether he's lamenting the trappings of fame in "Frankly, Mr. Shankly" or waxing poetic about lost love in "I Know It's Over", Morrissey's words cut straight to the heart.

Overall, "The Queen Is Dead" is a must-listen for any indie music fan. It's a timeless classic that still resonates with listeners today, proving that The Smiths were truly ahead of their time. So grab a cup of tea, put on your favourite beret, and let yourself be transported to a world of rainy days and unrequited love. Cheers!
