I don't know, I just don't see what there is not to love. Marr's guitar drives and colors the songs perfectly, the songwriting is top-notch and always engaging and energetic, and I think Moz is really a great singer, even if his style does take some getting used to at first.

The Smiths – Louder Than Bombs (2011, 180 g, Gatefold, Vinyl

John Porter – slide guitar on "Sheila Take a Bow", sound effects on "Ask", [16] drum machine and bass guitar on "Golden Lights" [17] There is no such thing as a bad Smiths record, but for me, it is their compilations that speak loudly to me. The Smiths were one of the last bands to make the 45 rpm single separate from the album. Albums were important, but I suspect that The Smiths true aesthetic was the A-Side and the additional B-Side. "Louder Than Bombs" is a compilation of their singles, and none (as far as I know, and being a lazy sod, I'm not looking this up as I write this essay) ever made it on to an official Smiths album. My favorite songs of theirs tend to be the singles and b-sides. The Smiths were brilliant in releasing incredible B-Sides, which traditionally were throw-a-way songs, and not meant to have any attention attached to them. But, all of us vinyl lunatics know that is not necessarily true, and The Smiths had brilliant songs placed in the obscure position of being forgotten. Or not, because The Smiths has paid attention to these 7" little wonders by releasing "Louder Than Bombs," which for the consumer, is a bargain, due to the cost of purchasing 45 rpm imported singles. Marcos Gendre - The Smiths 15 Minutos Contigo. 1984: El Año De The Smiths y Hatful Of Hollow (2015) Not a word about the music itself yet. This does include timeless classics like "Is it really so strange?", "Hand in glove", "Sheila take a bow", "Panic", "Ask", "Heaven knows I'm miserable now" and "William it was really nothing". All excellent pop songs with great Johnny Marr guitar lines and melodies and great Morrissey lyrics. But again, all of it is also available on Singles which makes a much better compilation. When a compilation album doesn't do its job properly it doesn't matter that it's full of wonderful music. And that's exactly the case here.

The Smiths represent an era or a time when things were felt with great wonder and excitement. It was also the last band that really expressed themselves through their design of album and 12" single covers. Each one was an entrance to a world that seemed gay or at the very least, a portrait of an artist who railed against the system or machine, and either played the price of becoming obscure or a footnote to a series of sad moments. The Smiths became the voice for those who felt differently or couldn't fit in the world that was clearly made for other people. Christgau, Robert (23 February 1988). "Christgau's Consumer Guide".

The fact is, a lot of people do, Moz. But I don't buy that The Smiths are an ultra-depressing band. No, that title goes to Joy Division or Radiohead (both bands I love, btw) before The Smiths. Even in their greatest dispair, I can sense they're taking it all with a grain of salt and wry humour. It's a really delicate and fine balance, but they strike it well. Y como lo dije anteriormente, en tan sólo 5 años supieron crear la amalgama perfecta que los catapultó como la banda de culto que son hoy en día.
