All the complimentary words written about Crazy For You by Best Coast is true, and I would add this "Crazy For You" is the closest successor to the Smiths I've heard.

"I really want to see this movie, not to mention I adore Zooey Deschanel. It's a romantic comedy, from watching the trailer and behind the scenes it is kind whimsical theatrically. It was also featured in Nylon Magazine as having a really great soundtrack...I love movies with good soundtracks, like Almost Famous, one of my favorite movies. It comes out in select theatres July 17th, unfortunately th..."

"At the risk of being uncovered as an only-buys-the-best-of-album-poser, I admit that I bought this CD a few years ago and I haven't been disappointed one bit. It has all the songs I remember from high school and a couple awesome tracks I was not angsty enough to know about at the time. ps. How did they get Jude Law to pose for the cover?"

"There are a number of video collections I could have named, but this live concert has it all. Morrissey is back and better than ever, performing in his hometown on his birthday for a capacity crowd. Even if you never loved The Smiths, this video will open your eyes (and ears, and possibly heart) to Moz."

The Smiths - Meat Is Murder [Audio CD]

1 recommendation

"The Smiths' second album isn't a great leap forward, but it does contain some fine guitar-pop, including "The Headmaster Ritual," "Rusholme Ruffians," and "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore." The American version included the pulsating "How Soon is Now?," which doesn't fit the mood of the rest of the album. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide"

"A compilation of singles, B-sides, album tracks, and BBC sessions assembled for the American market, Louder Than Bombs is an overlong and unfocused collection that nevertheless boasts a wealth of brilliant material. Since Hatful of Hollow was unavailable in the U.S. at the time of the release of Louder Than Bombs, this compilation contains large chunks of that album, as well as several cuts from T..."

"Arriving in an era dominated by synth pop and gloomy post-punk, the Smiths' eponymous debut was the bracing beginning of a new era. On the surface, the Smiths' sound wasn't radically different from traditional British guitar pop -- Johnny Marr's ringing, layered guitars were catchy and melodic -- but it was actually an astonishing subversion of the form, turning the structure inside out. Very few ..."

"Meat Is Murder may have been a holding pattern, but The Queen Is Dead is the Smiths' great leap forward, taking the band to new musical and lyrical heights. Opening with the storming title track, The Queen Is Dead is a harder-rocking record than anything the Smiths had attempted before, but that's only on a relative scale -- although the backbeat is more pronounced, the group certainly doesn't roc..."

"The man can do no wrong. His latest album has hints of vintage Moz (I even feel some dashes of Smiths flavor) as well as fresh sounds. Morrissey fans will not be disappointed, & for those who haven't been acquainted - What the hell are you waiting for???"
