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 ...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
Pros: All of The Smiths 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...
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 didnt take that much notice of them. But a couple of years ago I fell in love with the single Irish Blood, English Heart from ...
Pros: all the good stuff! Cons: you only need it if you don't have any of the other Smith's albums
This album has all the good stuff! It includes Hand In Glove, This Charming Man, What Difference Does It Make?, Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now, William It Was Really Nothing, How Soon Is Now?, Shakespeare's Sister, That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore, The Boy...
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...
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. ...
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...
