Despite my previous statement that all Smiths albums sound the same to me; this one is something else. There are certainly some familiar 'Smithy' sounds going on, but there's a touch of glam rock, and the moody slow groove of 'Death of a Disco Dancer'. I don't know, I think that I just prefer the songs on this album to the other two that I listened to via this list.
It could be that old chestnut of 'personal turmoil and creative tension serving the artistry' because between this album being finished and it being released, the band broke up. As I mentioned earlier, they have managed to this day to resist the urge to reform.
