Classic.
Moz at his most waspish, creative and, at times, upbeat. Marr at his most melodic.
And it can be funny as hell too.
Having said that, it contains one of the band's most depressing songs in 'I Know It's Over'.
But what a song that one is.
Contains at least 5 of my all-time favourite Smiths songs.
