Free Music Review: such is the ignorance of youth...
Hit: 5 Stars
such is the ignorance of youth...
the year is 1987, and my musical universe was about to change forever. being a diehard U2 fan and tired of all the junk on the radio. A friend introduced the smiths to me on a mix tape. the song "the queen is dead" and after that my eyes opened up to a whole new world.
i immediately went out and purchased this cassette and it just blew me away. i was just not able to put my walkman down, as i had to listen to each track.
"there is a light that never goes out", "some girls are bigger than others", "big mouth strikes again" and "the queen is dead" are by far my favorite songs on the album.
this is the best smiths album. sadly it was the last tour they would undertake as well, as "strangeways..." was completed with the band going separate ways.
i have since then upgraded my cassette to cd and it still takes me back to high school.
The Queen Is Dead Poster
This is the value of working at cross-purposes: The Smiths were Morrissey's excuse to undulate his wry, disaffected lyrics, and Johnny Marr's vehicle for his sharp, chiming, pop songs. Their favorite kind of compromise made them essentially a singles band, and The Queen Is Dead has a couple of their best (notably "The Boy with the Thorn in His Side," one of the greatest pop expressions of the Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name). But it also has some wonderful compromises of different kinds: the bizarrely romantic "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out," and "Cemetry Gates," where Marr covers up for Morrissey's floridity with shimmying rockabilly. --Douglas WolkAlternative Rock Music CDs
