30th anniversary - Originally released Feb 11th 1985.
Only a year after their debut, 1985's follow-up was a huge leap forward for The Smiths. Soundwise, definitely: tighter,
louder, clearer, more rocking, and in opener "The Headmaster Ritual", and weepie "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore" they
had two more top draw classics to add to their canon. There were different types of song on display here, whether it's
the Elvis-cribbing, super atmospheric, cyclical scene setter of "Rusholme Ruffians", the rock overloaded hurtle of "What
She Said" or the churning, jarring horror of the title track, here was a completely unique band expanding their
template.
