Hit: 5 Stars
This is the Smiths album I would give a friend if they wanted to know what the Smiths sounded like. There are 24 amazing tracks on here full of the MOZ wit and the MARR guitar sound. This album reads almost like a greatest hits series. I can't think of one song on here that lacks that Wilde wit and bittersweet feeling that Moz delivers in his songs. I must admit my favorite tracks here are "Half a Person", "This Night Has Opened My Eyes", "Heaven Knows Im Miserable Now", and the always fun "ASK". This album makes me want to pull my black turtle neck out of the closet and go spend the afternoon in the park sketching or having a pic-nic with a close friend who can recite Shelly and Poe. If you know the Smiths, you know what I mean. If you don't know the Smiths, here's your chance!Free Music Review: The Dynamic Duo (part Deux)

Morrissey & Marr, the 2nd coming of the british invasion. They were the Lennon & McCartney of the 80's. Marr would go off and write the Music, then they go to the studio, and plays the music while listening to what Morrissey had written previously, and it somehow becomes a song, without much collaborations betwenen the two. Sometime, the band would laugh so much from what Morrissey had written that they had to stop recording. In almost every instance, this is how they construct their songs. one not knowing what the other was doing. yet, they made some of the most compelling music of the 80's that still resonates today! This is a great starter pack to get, but i think their best album has got to be Strangeway here we come, their swan song! just enough hooks to get you thru the strange lyrics that steven writes..Free Music Review: the charming man

i'm a very seasoned classic rock and jazz listener. i just do not know how this fantastic band escaped my eye for such a long time. this is simply the apex of pop music and when you listen to them you know there's something special here - it is just magic. morrissey's vocals, poetry and idealism are so rare in the music industry where talent and originality have become a byline. he catches your imagination with his art, wit, openness and compassion. johnny marr's shimmering fret work provides the able foil to his band leader's genius. if you fall in love with this album but still don't want to buy the other individual albums, check out the other great collection - singles (with the legendary jacket cover). there're only seven overlaps between the two and you'd get another 11 extra songs there. great great great stuff!Free Music Review: I Pledge Allegience to The Smiths
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this album when I was 15 years old, having never heard any Smiths music before (only rave reviews). It changed my life forever. Out of 24 total tracks on the album, almost every single one grabs your heart and your mind and hardly gives any room for a break. The Smiths were the greatest pop music outfit ever to be exported from the UK. This compilation of singles demonstrates how brilliant they were at combining the emotional with the intellectual and the melencholy with the witty. I can't even begin to get into specific songs, because almost every one is a masterpiece in its own right. Anyone who would like to get to know the Smiths and enjoy poetic lyrics combined with beautiful, jangling guitars must get this collection. Life wouldn't be the same without it.Free Music Review: Call it morbid, call it pale...

One of the most perplexing summations ever made about the Smiths was made by my father back in 1986 when he called their brilliantly self-eviscerating brand of brit-pop "Depresso Rock." Of course, nothing could be further from the truth. The sustained popularity of the Smith's music (I am 30, and have been a fan for half my life) derives from its ability to uplift, not depress. There is giddiness that bubbles just below the surface of songs like Girlfriend in a Coma or Shoplifters of the World. Perhaps it is Mars' jangly, tremulous guitar work, or perhaps it is the relative absurdity of Morrissey (a grown man, after all) kicking through puddles of self-loathing, but something about the Smith's music always makes me feel better about myself.
