The SMITHS
LP
Strangeways, Here We Come
SEALED
The Smiths' underrated and unjustly maligned swan
song found the band experimenting with sound and
arrangement more than ever before. From the epic
instrumental introduction to "Last Night I Dreamt
That Somebody Loved Me" to the dark
instrumentation of "Death Of A Disco Dancer,"
STRANGEWAYS HERE WE COME is a sonically rich
album, filled with extremes and surprises. Among its
many highlights are its signature tune "Girlfriend In
A Coma," and the stingingly autobiographical "Paint
A Vulgar Picture," which also happens to contain
one of the most inspired, melodic guitar passages of
Johnny Marr's legendary career.
Produced by future Morrissey collaborator Stephen
Street, STRANGEWAYS is a document of a band's
"fierce last stand." An inner sleeve photo shows an
exasperated studio shot of a lone figure (the
cigarette suggests Marr) obviously at wit's end. The
album's conceptual looseness, while not
necessarily a bad thing ("Death At One's Elbow"
notwithstanding), suggests that the band unit was
probably not at its most cohesive. The album's
finisher, however, "I Won't Share You," is as tender
and graceful a thing as the group ever recorded, a
fitting farewell to one of pop music's most engaging
teams.
