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 everbefore. 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.
