The music is OK for what it is and what is represents from this period of time. It's good, especially the guitar parts and the overall atmosphere, but a bit too dated (this kind of sound, cold and with lots of (too much of?) reverb is so 80s). OK but not overly memorable.
OK, not listening to the Smiths for obvious reasons, so the next choice is this solo album from Johnny Marr. Solid guitar rock, with that trademark Marr sound and enough interesting stuff in the lyrics to hook you in. Marr provides most of the vocals too and, while he’s not the world’s greatest vocalist, he does a fine job. Lots of callbacks to the 80s and 90s on this too.
