Our Take

Step aside, Morrissey, there's a new quirky frontman in town and his name is The Smiths. Their latest album, The Sound of the Smiths, is a charming blend of melancholy lyrics and jangly guitars that will have you swinging from the chandeliers in no time. From the opening track, "This Charming Man," to the bittersweet melodies of "Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want," The Sound of the Smiths is a masterclass in the art of indie pop. Morrissey's distinctive vocals soar over Johnny Marr's shimmering guitar riffs, creating a sound that is at once nostalgic and timeless. Tracks like "How Soon Is Now?" and "Bigmouth Strikes Again" showcase The Smiths at their most exuberant, with catchy hooks and infectious rhythms that will have you dancing like it's 1985. The album's deeper cuts, such as "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore" and "I Know It's Over," reveal a darker side to the band, with Morrissey's introspective lyrics exploring themes of loneliness and heartache. Overall, The Sound of the Smiths is a must-listen for any fan of indie music. With its infectious melodies and insightful lyrics, this album is a testament to The Smiths' enduring influence on the music world. So grab your gladioli and dive into this sonic masterpiece – you won't be disappointed.
