Customer Reviews
Still far better than the music of the time
Was in the sixth form at school at the time of release-the girls were into Nik Kershaw and Howard Jones etc (yawn).
Yes it is over-produced (too shiny) but get by that and the quality of the songs shine through.Apart from the "barnstormers" there are some real gems-"The Hand That Rocks The Cradle" and especially the poignantly beautiful "Suffer Little Children" which,I remember,was panned by the press because they did not know that Mozza had the support of the parents involved in the tragedy.
A good starting point but The Smiths future releases were catchier and more mature-it was a travesty that they only had 4 years between first and last albums.
The Smiths most underated album
This album should be bought for "The hand that rocks the cradle" alone, that is one of the best songs of all time.
The album is great, a couple of OK songs but overall a masterpeice.
A very VERY good album!
Okay... Miserable Lie is bad and Hand is Glove is only acceptable. Apart from these two songs the album is great. Actually it's better than great, its one of the best albums post 1970 that I've heard... Actually its one of the best albums ever... Full stop. But if id wrote this review after my first listen id have given it 3 stars... Maybe even 2 because Somehow I failed to realise just how amazing songs like 'The Hand That Rocks The Cradle' and 'Pretty Girls Make Graves' actually are. I thought it was an acceptable album due to 'Reel Around The Fountain' and 'This Charming Man' but with the second and third listen it became obvious that ALMOST all the songs are brilliant. Sure it doesn't quite reach musical perfection like The Queen is Dead but it is an album that everyone must hear. It MAY change your life... It WILL blow you away... even if it does take a few listens.
