Strangeways here we come.
Both Morrissey and Marr feel the album is the band's best, with Morrissey asserting that, "We say it quite often. At the same time. In our sleep. But in different beds."
🤣
As much I love all Smiths albums, I agree with the majority of BEA voters, and if anyone not knowing The Smiths wanted to listen to one album to get a good idea of their sound, I'd advise The Queen Is Dead for starters. The opener is a killer, "Cemetry Gates" was very influential indeed (check out The Sundays or early Cranberries, "Linger" for instance), "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others" is my favourite Smiths song, it's almost a summary of everything that was great in this band : brilliant guitars, hilarious lyrics, great rhythm section. Of course, Morrissey indulges in the occasional grandiose pathos ("Never Had No One Ever"), which may not be everyone's cup of tea, but The Smiths were also about the persona of this fascinating singer, and this albums also reflects this aspect of the band's work.
But of course I'm a Smiths enthusiast and love all their albums. Most important band in my life probably.
