Sorry, a GREAT read.

I got about five paragraphs in and closed the tab; it's fucking turgid writing. Does he actually make a point at any stage or does he just ramble on forever about The Smiths being the greatest band ever and how everyone wore an onion on their belt as it was the style at the time?

 

[Lili Marlene]

No that's fairly it. I agree its great. Turgid means really good right?

I mean, his point is fairly out in the open there.

 

[Mormon Nailer]

I enjoyed it.
I'm not sure I share his loathing for the seaside postcard / billy liar part of the Smiths.
That was part of the charm.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Give us a new album, Pete! We're reduced to resurrecting album threads from 8 months ago!

nope, mightn't buy it but that wouldn't put me off

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

It's put me off. That and the fact it's probably a fortune.

The Smiths: The Queen Is Dead Album Review | Pitchfork

"Being a Smiths fan during the band’s actual lifetime felt like an aesthetic protest vote signaling your alienation from both the ’80s pop mainstream and the political culture it reflected."

Smiths fans are as bad as Morrissey.
