Vinyl LP pressing. Digitally re-mastered edition of the 1984 debut album from the legendary British quartet. Arriving in an era dominated by Synthpop and gloomy Post-Punk, the Smith's eponymous debut was the beginning of a new era. Johnny Marr's inventive songwriting and ringing guitars were catchy and melodic and were made all the more original by Morrissey's vocal style and lyrics. Although The Smiths continued to improve over the course of their career, the songs here are vital and alive, making sure that their debut remains startling and exciting to this day. Review: Brilliant Debut - A rocking debut by the Mancunians. Moz is in full effect and Marr’s guitar is at his jangly zenith. The rhythm setting of Rourke and Joyce is brilliant. With the exception of maybe three songs those here are fast enough. Opening track “Reel Around The Fountain” is slower but devastatingly brilliant. “You’ve Got Everything Now,” “Miserable Lie,” “Still Ill,” “Hand In Glove,” and “What Difference Does It Make?” are masterpieces. The production doesn’t add much sheen so instruments and the voice breathes. There isn’t cluttered sound like you hear on an Aerosmith album. The production continues in the minimalist vein harvested with great success by Joy Division. I’ve never liked the Smiths’ slower songs and, though very good, those here don’t do as much for me as the faster songs. When Marr is rocking, Moz is shrieking, and drums and bass are keeping it going the Smiths rock like most bands wish they could. The Bunnymen’s first album also rocks like this as do Gang of Four’s, REM’s and the Cure’s. I saw the Smiths once on the Meat Is Murder tour and twice on the The Queen Is Dead tour. Great times though I don’t remember much about two of the shows. Marr and Morrissey grew apart and at least one of them didn’t handle success well. Supposedly Marr’s becoming tired of Morrissey made him leave shortly after the Smiths finished their last album. A far too brief run. This is a great album. If you’re a rock fan and haven’t heard it now’s your time. The jewel case came in good shape and the insert is good with readable lyrics, though the print is small. Moz went on to a somewhat successful solo career marked by at least one very long break between albums and uneven quality. Marr’s been in at least two other bands since and I enjoyed an album by a band he was is a member of. Unlike Lennon and McCartney, they were much better together than apart. Dig it. Review: Every Lyric Is Someone's Life - I was introduced to the Smiths in college. A college friend sold me a newly bought "Meat Is Murder" cassette tape for a cheap price because he doesn't like it (he loves the "Hatful of Hollow" album though). During that time I'm completely ignorant of punk, post punk, new wave, alternative rock and the likes 'cause I'm from a rural town and what we dig there are seventies hard rock like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, NWOBHM like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, while my most favorite is the psychedelic band, Pink Floyd, ever since I heard "The Dark Side of the Moon" tape. I was really stunned listening to the tape - what a great band! This is the music I want to hear! Then, when I read the lyric sheet (great it was inside the tape sleeve) I went completely nuts. Every lyric is someone's life. I may or may not agree with the contents or messages but they were so beautifully written. A poetry in song. Bob Dylan is a great lyricist but Morrissey is pop's William Shakespeare. So, I also bought this album and Hatful of Hollow and together they helped me sustain a lonely solitary college life (I'm the only one among our group with no girlfriend - I'm absolutely that boy in "Girl Afraid"). From then on, the Smiths became my most favorite band alongside Pink Floyd. Every other band shall stay in the backseat, even Slayer and I.O.V.

No track 6!
I recently received this item and it turns out the track number six is actually not even on the album this album only has 10 tracks and "this charming man" is not one of them. this is a huge bummer considering this was the song I bought this album for in the first place, but at least the rest of the album is very good I guess I'll just have to buy a different album.
