Free Music Notes for The Sound of the Smiths: The Very Best of the Smiths

Free Music Review: I thought I liked the Smithsssss...
Hit: 2 Stars

I have a problem with Morrissey. I might like when one of his songs begins, but by mid point I'm severely agitated. I just can't take the F***ing whining; certainly not from people and apparently not even in song.

It's actually disturbing to witness someone suffering so badly, and then to have people celebrating his pain so enthusiastically. Because that's what you are doing when you express admiration for him. You're not actually complimenting his creativity as much as you are commiserating with a fellow sufferer.

I suppose the short answer to the question of why Morrissey and the Smiths are so popular is that misery loves company. It's so sad for me to realize that so much of this shared pain is so unnecessary. I'm guessing much of his pain is a chemical imbalance.

If they had the amazing medications back then that we do today I'm sure many of Moz's dilemmas would've just evaporated. Not all, of course. He still would have been a talented, intelligent, sensitive artist, but just not swirling in a vortex of his own miasma.

The Sound of the Smiths: The Very Best of the Smiths Poster

Deluxe 2 CD version, with disc 2 containing choice B sides, live cuts, and rarities. The Smiths formed in Manchester in 1982 and quickly rose to become the quintessential British indie rock band of their day. Powered by the collaboration between lead singer and lyricist Morrissey and lead guitarist and co-songwriter Johnny Marr, their sound had a literary and musical depth that was complex, emotional and often controversial-at the same time, it rang with The Smiths' unique twist on timeless melodic pop sensibilities. On Rhino's new compilation, the group's biggest hits and most important tracks are represented.
