The Queen Is Dead
The Queen Is Dead
“Newly reissued as a boxed set, the Smiths’ 1986 masterpiece still stands as an enduring testament to England in the ’80s, the complex relationship between performer and fan, and the ecstasy of emptiness.”
The Sound of The Smiths
“Overseen by Morrissey and guitarist Johnny Marr, this compilation emphasizes the compositional might behind the miserablism of England’s most idiosyncratic and influential Eighties band.

Hatful of Hollow

Meat Is Murder
“Like this album a lot. Have it on vinyl. But it’s a little 1-dimensional, and the title track is insufferable”

“Extremely consistent and good tracks not one that’s letting it down but has clear stand outs”
Hatful of Hollow
“There are some crazy tracks in here. A lot of snoozer off-album versions too though.”
