Girlfriend In A Coma: The Smiths Make The Personal Universal

by GregRadiohead GregRadiohead is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Music, , Sep 04 '07
Pros: Probably the best entry point into the Smiths if you have never heard them before
Cons: For hardcore fans, it's a waste of money
The Smiths, Epinions, and I have a tangled history. I can't even think about the band without also thinking about my first girlfriend, who I met because of reviews I had posted on this website. This same girlfriend, who was older than me, was a huge ...

The Smiths: Not My Style

by lambchops, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Sep 10 '02
Pros: Some decent tracks. At times memorable vocals and melodies.
Cons: Overall rather uneven and dour.
Let me be the first to admit that off the top of my head I know very little about The Smiths. Sure, I’m well aware that gloomy singer/songwriter Morrissey helmed the band. Sure, I’m also well aware that they were in existence during the early...

May Madness Begins! (Where Are They Now? Write-Off) The Smiths

by thevoid99 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, May 04 '02
Pros: An Excellent Compilation from the Smiths.
Cons: None.
When the Queen of Epinions Pop herself, Kristinafh, decided to hold the biggest write-off in May of 2002, it would the write-off to top all write-offs in Epinions.com history. The May write-off is basically to write three reviews in different...

They Called Themselves "Smiths" Because it was the Music that Really Mattered

by crypticcradle , Oct 24 '04
Pros: an incredibly diverse group of singles from a band that truly mattered.
Cons: ?
Sitting here in my college dorm room, it's weird to think that my favorite rock band of the moment, The Smiths, released their first album when I was two; their last when I was five. It'd be even more absurd if I tried to tell you how important these ...

Teenage Angst Personified

by jeff_wilder78 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 24 '03
Pros: Superb Smiths Retrospective.
Cons: Hardcore fans should probably just go directly to the original albums.
And they thought Nirvana was depressing?

Okay, that's all with the jokes. The album I'm writing about here is (as one can tell by the title) a collection of all the singles that The Smiths released during their brief career in the mid to late...

Music for Singles

by blade_runner83 , Jul 15 '03
Pros: All of the Smiths A-side singles released on one compact album
Cons: Growing accustomed to Morrissey's doeful sighs and moans.
Ah to be young again. The quest to be youthful and juvenile in our aging days (which unwantedly gives new meaning to the term grey)has plagued humanity for centuries. The Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon searched far and wide for it in the Fountain of ...

If The People Stare, Then The People Stare

by Nini23 , Nov 02 '01
Pros: You will recognize most of these songs.
Cons: Not the best album.
I remember driving around in my car when I was about sixteen and listening to The Smiths. It was past their time, granted, but their music is basically timeless and if you want to own an album that has a lot of music on it for one price, this one is for...

The Smiths: Calming Music from A Terrifc Band

by tattooedjedi Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Mar 30 '00
Pros: A soothing, visceral record, that is entertaining and enthralling.
Cons: "Meat is Murder" is left out of this record
Now, we all know that this tattooedjedi is mostly into hardcore and punk music. However, I can’t listen to those genres of music all the time. If I did, I would go batty. Even this jedi needs to take a break from the loud music that I so much love...

The rain falls down on this humdrum review

by Daniel_Rf , Jun 20 '01
Pros: All of The Smith’s singles, duh
Cons: No b-sides
When I first set about the task of reviewing ”Singles”, The Smith’s (wait for it) singles compilation, I had something far more ambitious than a pedestrian review in mind. What I wanted to do was divide The Smith’s fanbase into three categories...

Bleak Pop

by jlr29 , Jan 14 '06
Pros: "There is a Light That Never Goes Out", "Bigmouth Strikes Again"
Cons: "Last Night I Dreamed Somebody Loved Me", "Shakespeare's Sister"
I had heard a little bit of Morrissey and The Smiths on alternative radio as I was growing up, and I didn’t take that much notice of them. But a couple of years ago I fell in love with the single “Irish Blood, English Heart” from ...

Depressingly Happy stuff!

by Naughtius , Apr 13 '00
Pros: ??
Cons: !!
Man, do I love this band.

I remember getting into the band just before they broke up. I was in my cousin's car and he pops in the Meat is Murder cassette... It's not hard to drive fast to "How Soon is Now?", and from that point on...

yes, but...

by dnharper , May 15 '00
Pros: It's the Smiths.
Cons: It's not enough!
Some people would say this is the only Smiths album they would need.
You know, when I was in school, from 3rd to 8th grade I ate the same lunch. Bologna sandwich, apple, cornchips, milk. That's it. That's all I wanted. That's all I ate.

Take a journey into madness

by fourrealtruth , Mar 06 '01
Pros: Better than other smith's collection albums
Cons: Well, none really except expensive CD
The smiths are a very interesting band to say the least. If you are not familiar with this work, you should check it out and see what you think.

One weird thing you will notice about the smiths, is that most of their albums contain a lot of...

by monkbuck , Jan 26 '00
Pros: Comprehensive collection of Greatest Hits
Cons: Missing "Please, Please Let Me Get..."
"Hand in Glove" is the opening song on this wonderful collection of Smiths classics. You'll get the wonderful "Boy With the Thorn In His Side." That was the first song I heard that made me a Smiths fanatic. This would make a nice...
