Description:
Though the Smiths have been compiled numerous times, 2008`s THE SOUND OF THE SMITHS is the first set to comprehensively survey the revered British college-rock band`s impressive 1983-87 catalogue. Beginning with the restless "Hand in Glove," and proceeding in chronological order to spotlight other classic tracks such as the epic "How Soon Is Now?" and the achingly melancholic "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me," the lovingly remastered SOUND easily reinforces the Smiths` status as one of the all-time-great U.K. pop/rock bands, adeptly showcasing Morrissey`s hyper-literate lyrics and emotive croon, as well as Johnny Marr`s awe-inspiring and dynamic guitar work. The anthology, which benefits from the input of both key members, also makes room for lesser-known album selections such as "Still Ill" and "Barbarism Begins at Home," making SOUND much more than a mere singles collection.

    The Smiths-Sounds of

    karriemoz from Epsom,Nh, Dec 5, 2008

    As a longtime Smiths fan, this is a great comp, only it's MISSING my fav song "Reel Around The Fountain". Other than that, it's a good mix of songs running in chronological order which makes it ideal for new fans who are looking to start their Smiths collection.
