Actually really like “Queen is Dead”, the pace, the tone and the criticisms in the lyrics. Reminds me of “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” by Bauhaus in sound. However it doesn’t feel particularly strong as the introductive song and nothing that follows really even matches this. Don’t like the slurred vocals. Sounds like every song is being sung by a drunkard at karaoke. This is only made worse as the songs become slowed down and more depressive. However I can see the influence this album would have had on some people, some of the lyrics are very interesting. Such a shame Morrissey is an absolute hypocrite with zero self awareness.
