Somehow, this is the first time I’ve listened to a full Smiths album. Knew a couple of the songs but a few were new to me. Generally, The Smiths are very up my alley, especially the guitar work, which is exceptional. This is a solid collection of songs, but it doesn’t feel as cohesive as I’d hoped when it popped up. Sometimes it feels like Morrissey is singing whatever he wants, without much regard for the rest of the music. That’s a nitpick though - overall I loved this album, even if it isn’t quite perfect.
