Classic tunes. Was every song a single? Almost. 7/11. This means just about any greatest hits will repeat at least half of this one but for a good reason - the songs are great.

I love the Sisters font. And the Front Line Assembly sounding production and effects, and the initial bits of some tracks.
Otherwise I feel about this like someone else did about MotΓΆrhead - most of the actual βsongsβ sound nearly indistinguishable from each other. Crash crash riff riff solo riff riff riff the end
βDesperate Cryβ had a nice Ministry/NWO thing going for a bit, and the acoustic guitar is a welcome relief.

I like the Furs. This isnβt my favorite however. Half the songs are good, and half are a bit monotonous or monochromatic sounding.
2.5 stars from me but rounding to 3. Good stuff though when it is good. And not bad when itβs not, just a bit dull now and then.

The Queen Is Dead
The Smiths
1st time listener to the full album, but I was familiar with its singles in various compilations, so I chose to listen to the βdeluxeβ version.
Itβs better mixed to my ear than what we had in 198x, Morrissey is more integrated into the mix and you can hear the under-rated Andy Rourkeβs bass better and itβs kicking ass.
