| | The Smiths (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Smiths is the eponymous debut album of the band The Smiths, released on February 20, 1984. | | | The album was well received by the critics as well as the public, and it established the Smiths as a prominent band in the 1980s music scene in the United Kingdom. | | | The album was particularly important and influential because it went against the grain of the popular music of the time. |

| | A couple of further singles from the album were released with old live, session and demo tracks as B-sides, and the following year the live album Rank (recorded in 1986 while Gannon was in the band) repeated the UK chart success of previous albums. | | | Morrissey's 1997 solo album Maladjusted included a song titled "Sorrow Will Come in the End" which commented on the case, and which was omitted from the UK version of the album due to fear of libel action. | | | Marr was also a member of The The, recording two albums with the group between 1989 and 1993. |

| | The Smiths: The Smiths ---Ink Blot Magazine |
| | The album has heaviness, a maudlin weight to it. | | | The Smiths' early singles and eponymous debut album caused quite a stir in Britain, despite the fact that the latter was a slightly overproduced and under-realized affair (a fact borne out by the brilliance of early singles and b-sides comp Hatful of Hollow). | | | Second LP Meat Is Murder solidified their fanbase but The Smiths were rightfully considered a singles band until 1986 tour de force The Queen Is Dead. |

| | [ Adrian's Album Reviews ] The Smiths |
| | THIS album is the best album i have ever herd next to the 'beatles' 'White album' disk 1. | | | Out of the 4 Smiths studio Albums IMO Strangeways was and still is their most underrated album, failing to match the other longivity as classic Rock n' Roll albums. | | | The album is not as euphoric musically as the highlights on The Queen is Dead ('Boy With the Thorn in His Side', 'Bigmouth' and 'There is a Light') but this is probably my fave Smiths album overall. |

| | That album by far is thee greatest Smiths album of all--sure TQID is a fantastic record and all, but nothing they ever releases after that brilliant first LP reached the level of pure beauty that came out of that first LP. | | | I mean there's 24 songs on the cd and i'ts not considered an album. | | | An album is a set of songs recorded in one session (or a series of sessions over a limited time). |

| | I have listened to this album, and I want to review it. | | | Although they recorded only four non-compilation studio albums, this Manchester-based quartet would be remembered as one of the most influential pop bands of all time. | | | A song that I feel really doesn't get as much credit as it should on this album is "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle." As is so often the case in their music, the lyrics bend around the guitar arrangements of genius Marr on this track. |

It was basically during the recording of this album that the Smiths broke up. | | | This album doesn't have all of the rare recordings, but it is pretty comprehensive. | | | Meat Is Murder stands out from the rest of The Smiths albums in that each song paints a picture of a day in the life of a person (maybe the soldier on the album cover?). |

| | Smiths Album Reviews |
| | Of the eight records that The Smiths released in their 4 years together, only four of them were actual studio albums with one of them being a live album and the remaining three being collections of singles and B-Sides, something which testifies to their appeal as a singles band. | | | The album begins with ‘William It Was Really Nothing’, the first single to be released following their debut album. | | | Considering the circumstances under which it was recorded it surprising that it was recorded at all and the standard of the album is a testiment to the talent and professionalism of all members of the Smiths. |

| | Although recorded prior to the band's inner decay, the album clearly shows signs of a band that is dissolving, as the triumphant arrogance is absent and Morrisey and Marr are both clearly miles apart. | | | The Smiths wasted no time in unleashing their second studio album, Meat is Murder in 1985. | | | The album also marked the band's cracking of the American Top 100, but more importantly, the solidifying of their American following. |

| | The Impryan Emporium - Album Reviews: The Smiths |
| | When the Smiths bursted into the bland climate of the early-eighties U.K. pop scene, their refreshing minimalism, political outspokenness and smart, arty jangling guitar sound received a virtual salivating response from the British music press. | | | This consistent, raw album ultimately made clear the distinction between the corporate, slick side of the U.K. pop world and what would become the post-punk underground community. | | | They unleashed singles like a machine gun spewing bullets at the charts, for two years hammering away with the infectious, thought-povoking, well-crafted pop songs, before finally unveiling a full-length record, The Smiths. |

| | The album holds more of a Pop/Indie concept than the first album, most of the songs (except How Soon is Now, and Accept Yourself and some of the BBC outtakes) are between 2-3 minutes, e.g. | | | I had the album on import, as it was available only in that form for years, until I found the cd in the Virgin mega-store. | | | The versions of many of the Smith's best known songs are here presented in (for the most part) alternate versions, a few Peel sessions (where they sound heavier, meatier, more lean'n'mean as a Band than on some of their frankly anemic and fey studio recordings), and a 12" single or two. |

| | The LP is a collection of Radio 1 sessions The Smiths recorded for John Peel and David Jensen (forgive him, Lord), four sessions in all that, at the last count, have been transmitted 12 times, according to the rather nicely-written biog included here for the benefit of ignorant hacks. | | | "[The Queen is Dead] the album which history will in due course denote as being the key work in forcing the group's philistine opposition to down chisels and embrace the concept of The Smiths as the one truly vital voice of the Eighties. | | | They were the charming romantic (as opposed to new-romantics) band of the Eighties and the revival voice of the 60's. |

| | As my own musical taste took hold, I appreciated how that urgency of the first album evolved into something more musically and lyrically intricate, at once self-deprecating and -aggrandizing, and I loved the way Morrissey began to map out his issues with his own increasing fame and pop stardom. | | | To my still-untuned sexuality, this was a minor personal anthem which set the tone for the way my life would unfold over the next few years. | | | But before we get stuck into that, the qualifying intro: When I was a fifteen year old, living in a suburb west of Toronto, bored and fretfully middleclass, I turned on the radio late one night and heard the opening chords of “What Difference Does it Make?” from the first Smiths album. |
