Details: Amazon.ca This is the value of working at cross-purposes: The Smiths were Morrissey’s excuse to undulate his wry, disaffected lyrics, and Johnny Marr’s vehicle for his sharp, chiming, pop songs. Their favorite kind of compromise made them essentially a singles band, and The Queen Is Dead has a couple of their best (notably « The Boy with the Thorn in His Side, » one of the greatest pop expressions of the Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name). But it also has some wonderful compromises of different kinds: the bizarrely romantic « There Is a Light That Never Goes Out, » and « Cemetry Gates, » where Marr covers up for Morrissey’s floridity with shimmying rockabilly. –Douglas Wolk Product Description The Smiths
