Strangeways, Here We Come

Excellent album, all songs are gold. 10/10 album!

yoa no nice, aber nur einisch ghört ka

A Rush and a Push and the Land is Ours is good

Not bad. Reminds me of the cure and that 80s style emo rock.

Liked some songs but sort of forgettable music

I've never really understood the huge appeal of The Smiths. I guess its too wordy for me, and the melodies and instrumentation are boring.

Not exactly my cup of tea, but an enjoyable album nonetheless. Sounds more pop than rock. Interesting sound layers

Melancholy, Morrissey has such a haunting voice.

The punky side of synth and new wave. Loved it.

Bem legal, as letras são peculiares kkkk

smiths podia ser pior pq o morrissey é um lixo humano mas bom demais afff

There were some tracks I liked but others that I wasn't too fussed on.

meh

Actually really liked this. Funky style rock - 4/5

A very interesting album. It almost feels sentimental in a way. I enjoyed probably 40% of the songs on it. Overall, not a bad first to discover.

Enorm goede zweverige vibe, super goede stem en lekker wegluisteren

"Please the Press in Belgium!" in Paint a Vulgar Picture :D

Then this one came out later than I'd have expected. Nearly every song made a distinct impression.

Honestly kinda annoying.

Was never really a Smiths fan, but now I can appreciate the musicality of the band. I still think that Morrisey is one of most overated singers of all time though.

It was ok, lacked the fun guitar riffs of other releases

Some interesting production lifts this album beyond just another Smiths album.

There's a reason I didn't buy this one as I was moving out of this phase and into SST at the time. Just not a great record combined with all the failures of late 1980s production. Overcompressed, flat, and without definition. Snare reverbed into non-existence. Kick drum buried in the mix. Might be the GOAT for song titles though.

Liked it

Big Johnny Marr fan here. This Aussie gives it four bags of Cheezels out of five.

Good stuff. Classic

Classic Smith's. Good stuff.

I hate the Smiths but this is ok.

Very mellow. Nice listen but not something I'd likely return to.

Typical morissey

Interesting. First long listen to The Smiths. Liked: Unhappy Birthday, Girlfriend in a Coma, and Paint a Vulgar Picture

I've never been a huge fan of The Smiths. This album didn't excite me, but it was easy listening for work. I wouldn't seek it out, but I didn't hate it.

Not my favorite album but it's still the smiths

The smiths are timeless. I could listen to any of their albums any day of the week and feel all the same things I did the first time hearing them

Uninteressant.

3.5

Morrissey is a piece of shit, but I really enjoy the songs of The Smiths. The opening track was really intriguing, no guitar but oddly haunting. Thank God for Johnny Marr

Brilliant album. Very little filler

So. Fucking. Good.

I don't want to sound hyperbolic, but I think I regret the years I spent hating on The Smiths more than I regret some of the bad relationships I've had.

Very pleasant rock. Something different than usual!

strange album as the title indicates. lot of songs where the tone of the songs and the subject matter are starkly different. mostly this is happy sounding songs with titles like “unhappy birthday” and “girlfriend in a coma”. mostly though i’ll remember this album for how damn funny it is.

Fantastic- my first time hearing this album. Can't wait to listen again!

Love it! Gonna keep listening to their other shit

I have never heard this band before but it has a ska feel to it and I am a huge fan of ska.

I quite enjoyed this. I've long avoided The Smiths because Morrissey is a cunt, and I was a little young to appreciate them when they came out, but the album as a whole was very listenable.

meh

I already liked a lot of these songs, but I also like the new ones. The first one is echoey and cool.

what’d be playing in the background of a coming of age film for teens who feel misunderstood by everyone aside from themselves. very 90s.

Good Album that is an all around great listen, not one song stands out but all of them combine for a joyful listening

Still wonderful...

I like the Smiths…mainly because they wrote the soundtrack of Charmed ;).

Great album

Smiths

know it backwards, grew up with it and love it

Yes. I just wish morrissey wasn’t morrissey.

Jangle Pop wankery. Sounds like an expensive 4track cassette demo, and i will never understand people's obsession with Morissey. Even Johnny Marr couldnt save this mess, and if this is heralded as the BEST Smiths record, I shudder to imagine what the other ones sound like. No standout tracks. Id give it zero stars if I could.

Needs another listen

The Smiths are so boring and comically depressing. Do significant others really end up in comas that frequently, Morrissey?

Sidste Smiths album, tidlig indierock, ikke helt skidt

I have heard the entire discography, and I really like it. Not love, but it's close.

Pretty dece album, although the songs I ended up adding into my library weren't even the singles (except for Girlfriend in a Coma) lol

1987: Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me, Girlfriend in a Coma

k

A catchy ass smiths album, just like the previous three.

Really good! Not what I expected. Is this New Wave ?

It's good!
