5 stars A Total Classic!
Forget about what other critics might tell you, this is the best Smiths album.....period! It's far more diverse and better produced than any of their other works. By the way, Louder than Bombs is not a real album!

5 stars Perfection
One of the best albums ever, easily. Every single one of these songs exhibits the versatility of Morrissey's vocals and Marr's accoustics. To me, this IS their "Greatest Hits" album. With the possible exception of "Barbarism Begins at Home," I am fascinated with every song on it. The Smiths truly broke new grounds with this piece. WUDUP MAZe!!!!

5 stars The Smith's first Essential Album.
This is a really brilliant album! From the guitar symphony that is The Headmaster Ritual, through the acoustic/electric beauty of That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore, to its ending with the bombastic title track, this album is a joy. Fantastic music, lyrics that will speak to practically everyone. BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Smiths (1st LP) CD  (1984)

Meat Is Murder album
CD $13.65  4.8 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
This self-titled opening salvo of the Smiths' four-year war with mediocrity stands proud as one of the era's most innovative and unique works. Flying in the face of the pomp and artifice that prevailed in pop music at the time, the Smiths raged against their makeup- wearing, synth-playing contemporaries and squarely put rock back on the agenda. Guitarist Johnny Marr married the tunesmanship and harmonic richness of his Motown heroes with the rage of punk, while Morrissey's bedroom confessionals were catnip to England's (and later the world's) disenfranchised youth. THE SMITHS demanded, and received, instant attention, desirable and otherwise, making a reluctant guitar hero out of Marr and a poster boy out of Morrissey. The jarring juxtaposition between Marr's lilting, densely-layered guitar lines and Morrissey's lyrics ...

CD $14.59  4.3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Arguably the Smiths' masterpiece, THE QUEEN IS DEAD found the band at the artistic apex of a career that knew few lows. More than any of their other albums, THE QUEEN IS DEAD represents the elegance, craftsmanship and humor for which the Smiths are remembered. Opening the album, the explosive title track is filled with vintage punk-era iconoclastic rage, wherein Morrissey tears at the very fabric of the British monarchy atop the howling feedback and swirling chords of Johnny Marr and the pounding fury of Rourke and Joyce (whose punk roots were never so apparent). THE QUEEN IS DEAD also contains some of the band's most disarmingly beautiful work. "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" bears a lush ...

Smiths Louder Than Bombs CD  (1987)

Meat Is Murder music CDs
CD $13.65  4.3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
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 ...

Smiths Strangeways, Here We Come CD  (1987)

Meat Is Murder songs
CD $9.45  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
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 stand." An inner sleeve photo shows an exasperated ...

Songs From The Capeman
Paul Simon Songs From The Capeman CD  (1997) Bonus Tracks; Remastered

Meat Is Murder album
CD $16.29  Audio Samples
This is a collection of songs written by Paul Simon and Derek Walcott for their Broadway Musical, "The Capeman." When Paul Simon released GRACELAND, it seemed like the apex of an already impressive career. A few years later, he compounded expectations by extending both his reach and his grasp with the Brazilian-tinged RHYTHM OF THE SAINTS. Continuing his tradition of raising the aesthetic bar, Simon explores new vistas yet again with SONGS FROM THE CAPEMAN. The album features his versions of the songs he wrote with poet Derek Walcott for the play THE CAPEMAN. Based on the exploits of a street gang character of the same name, THE CAPEMAN incorporates several different musical styles into a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts (a method to which Simon is no stranger). In the songs that make up the bulk of the storyline, ...
