Never listened to a full smiths albums, just random songs here and there. In general, I get why. I feel like the Smiths are a band made for the compilation. Good songs, album is ok? IDK.
Every song basically really good. Will listen to it more.
Sad boy album. Listened to it in highschool and thought it was cool. Good sound still, but not too hot about it. Title song is the "popy-est". That one kinda misses it after a while too though.
Eclectic and folky. Not really my style but it gives off a certain feeling. Maybe a relisten at some time. Not bad, just not my style. Some new wave in there too. It's like a salad with a dressing I'm not a fan of.
Some cool moments in there. Like the sounds of some of the songs. The pigs one is the best so far. Difficult to keep listening to though. Didn't finish lol
Greatest voice of all time? Almost every song is good, the great ones completely overshadow the not so great. The great ones really take advantage of her range and voice and passion. The hoarsness comes through and it feels so real. Some songs reminded me of Dylan in that they start calm and collected and eventually end in a very different way. The passion is always there in the background and it's just waiting to come out (for Dylan it's the harmonica, for Joplin it's her voice). Trust Me is probs my favorite, but the first two and last one are great as well.
In general, jazz is something I always wanted to get into , though I don't know that much about it. Like, wtf makes this one of the best albums ever made? Sounds like jazz to me. Good moments in there, and I bet that if I pay real good attention, I'd get even more out of it. Who knows. It's a fun listen though. And the cool thing about jazz is all the dynamism. Goes all over the place. And hearing where the next place they'll take you musically is cool. It's like an excercise in presence. Most pop songs, it's all about expectation and payoff I think. The bass drops just when it needs to. But with jazz, it's a constant flow. THings come out of nowhere. And most likely when "jazz that's not jazz" is when it tries to prevent that unpredictability. Lol maybe I do like jazz!

Heard many of these songs before. Great energy in them. What's interesting is that they're also quite complicated in their instrumentation too. It's not "normal" payoff rock. It tells you it's going one way and then goes another. Pretty rad. Every song is good. Great background music too.
Very funky, lets go dancing
