LOUDER THAN BOMBS contains 24 songs, including 12 from the UK compilation of B-sides and singles THE WORLD WON'T LISTEN.
Compiled mostly from tracks on the two UK releases HATFUL OF HOLLOW and THE WORLD WON'T LISTEN, LOUDER THAN BOMBS is one of the best examples of the recorded genius of the Smiths. While the band's album releases were always anxiously awaited and well received, their most enduring gems could often be found on their singles.
The Smiths took full advantage of the then-popular 12" single format, usually including non-album tracks on their B-sides, and this 24 track CD includes the most interesting examples of these. Numerous standout moments include "Ask," "Half A Person," "Shoplifters of the World Unite," "Panic," "William It Was Really Nothing," "Sheila Take A Bow," and "Stretch Out and Wait." An essential addition to any Smiths completist's collection.
Exclusive Japanese limited edition reissue of their 1987 compilation album, packaged in a miniature gatefold LP sleeve. Originally a U.S.-only release, this album features tracks from the UK compilations Hatful Of Hollow and World Won't Listen that were not available on the band's regular albums. Features 'Is It Really So Strange?', 'Sheila Take A Bow', 'Sweet And Tender Hooligan', 'London' and more. Warner. 2006.
2 LPs on 1 CD.
Producers: The Smiths, Stephen Street, John Porter, Roger Pusey.
The Smiths: Stephen Patrick Morrissey (vocals); Johnny Marr (guitar, mandolin, harmonica, piano, harmonium); Andy Rourke (cello, bass); Mike Joyce (drums).

Alternative Press (p.200) - "BOMBS contains the most-rocking song in the Smiths catalog: 'London,' two minutes of whip-cracking Britpunk sass."

Louder Than Bombs album
 $14.45 
Legendary U.K/ indie rock group the Smith became famous because of their evocative and angsty music. This thoughtful and penetrating release includes 23 of their powerful greatest hits.
There is absolutely no reason to own The Very Best of the Smiths if you already own all the Smiths albums. There is little reason to own this if you own the Singles collection. If you don't have any Smiths in your collection, Singles still makes a better bet because that has a logical theme and chronological sequencing. But, if you're just looking for 23 songs that do represent much of the Smiths' best work, 2001's The Very Best of the Smiths will do, since it does all the group's anthems, without a misstep (outside of that doggedly unchronological sequencing). That still doesn't make it a welcome addition to the canon, particularly since it's saddled with an ugly faux-Smith's cover, but it's better than the first two posthumous Best Of collections, and it will give many casual fans what they think they want, even if it doesn't given them what they truly need. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

| | Morrissey You Are The Quarry CDs (2004) With DVD
Louder Than Bombs CD music
$18.35 
Enhanced by the guitars of longtime collaborators Alain Whyte and Boz Boorer, the sound here is vintage Morrissey, though a few tracks bear the energetic influence of QUARRY's punk-pop-inclined producer. Standout songs include the gorgeous, dreamy "I'm Not Sorry" and "First of the Gang to Die," a love letter to his unlikely Latino fan base in Los Angeles. While the record clearly marks a new phase for the beloved crooner, it also reminds listeners of why they grew to love him in the first place.
Morrissey's first new solo album in seven years, an album of original songs, using keyboards interwoven with guitars, mandolin, flute, harp, moog keyboards. The limited edition CD/DVD package, in a gatefold includes the video ...
| | Smiths World Won't Listen CD (1987) (Import) Japan; Mini LP Sleeve; Argentina
Louder Than Bombs music CDs
$32.99
THE WORLD WON'T LISTEN from the influential alt-rock group the Smiths is a best-of compilation that is a sequel of sorts to HATFUL OF HOLLOW, the Smiths greatest-hits collection that preceded this release.
This Dutch edition od THE WORLD WON'T LISTEN has 18 tracks and includes songs not found on HATFUL OF HOLLOW, including another version of "Stretch Out and Wait" with alternate lyrics.
In 1987, Rough Trade released at least two collections of singles and B-sides by the Smiths. The U.S. audience saw the release of Louder Than Bombs, which collected 24 assorted tracks. U.K. fans were handed The World Won't Listen, with 16 tracks. Most ardent fans of the band obviously gobbled up both releases. The 12 shared tracks across the two albums are "Panic," "Ask," "London," "Shakespeare's Sister," "Shoplifters of the World Unite," "Asleep," "Unloveable," "Half a Person," "Stretch Out and Wait," "Oscillate Wildly," "You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby," and "Rubber Ring." That means there are four tracks here that aren't included on Louder Than Bombs, and there are 12 tracks on Louder Than Bombs that aren't included here. Going into the merits of the tracks isn't necessary; there's not a clunker ...

Recorded live at the National Ballroom in London during the Smiths' THE QUEEN IS DEAD tour, this set displays the band at its peak. The Smiths split up the following year, but their record company persisted in its attempts at marketing the band in the U.S. RANK is the product of such effort. Fortunately, it is a worthy one.

Louder Than Bombs album
$32.99
The Smiths' underrated and unjustly maligned swan song found the band experimenting with sound and arrangement more than ever before. From the epic instrumental introduction to "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me" to the dark instrumentation of "Death Of A Disco Dancer," STRANGEWAYS HERE WE COME is a sonically rich album, filled with extremes and surprises. Among its many highlights are its signature tune "Girlfriend In A Coma," and the stingingly autobiographical "Paint A Vulgar Picture," which also happens to contain one of the most inspired, melodic guitar passages of Johnny Marr's legendary career.
Produced by future Morrissey collaborator Stephen Street, STRANGEWAYS is a document of a band's "fierce last ...

Louder Than Bombs CD music
$9.69 
Erstwhile Buzzcock and former front man of post-punk outfits Magazine and Luxuria, Howard Devoto has always been somewhat difficult to peg musically. After disbanding Magazine in the early '80s, Devoto went on to pursue a short-lived solo career, resulting in his lone 1983 effort, JERKY VERSIONS OF THE DREAM. More pop-based than any of his previous efforts, the songs all feature Devoto's distinctive croon--a discomfiting mix of seduction ...

The fourth studio album from Canadian post-hardcore outfit Silverstein continues to build on the band's compelling mix of emo, punk, screamo, and melodic metal. Lyrically, SHIPWRECK IN THE SAND dabbles in the construction of narrative and characters, but it's the guitar attacks, thunderous rhythms, and full-throttle screams of frontman Shane Told that give this disc its impact. ...
