The Smiths

Eponymous (1984)

It was too sedate for many months but now occasionally haunts me. I really don't know and I really don't care.

6/10

Meat is Murder (1985)

Playful, more cheerful than the first, I like it though not to excess. I want the one I can't have, but that joke isn't funny anymore.

7/10

The Queen is Dead (1986)

Oh well, enough said.

9/10

Louder than Bombs (1987)

1987. Apparently these are B-sides and singles? But it's my current favourite. I left the south... I'll never make that mistake again.

9/10

Strangeways, Here We Come (1987)

Is it just me, or do The Beatles' 'Dear Prudence', The Smiths' 'Death of a Disco Dancer', and LCD Soundsystem's 'Never as Tired as When I'm Waking up' all have something in common? Can't yet judge more.
