Louder Than Bombs (1987, Specialty Pressing The Smiths – Louder Than Bombs (1987, Specialty Pressing

The Smiths represent an era or a time when things were felt with great wonder and excitement. It was also the last band that really expressed themselves through their design of album and 12" single covers. Each one was an entrance to a world that seemed gay or at the very least, a portrait of an artist who railed against the system or machine, and either played the price of becoming obscure or a footnote to a series of sad moments. The Smiths became the voice for those who felt differently or couldn't fit in the world that was clearly made for other people. There is no such thing as a bad Smiths record, but for me, it is their compilations that speak loudly to me. The Smiths were one of the last bands to make the 45 rpm single separate from the album. Albums were important, but I suspect that The Smiths true aesthetic was the A-Side and the additional B-Side. "Louder Than Bombs" is a compilation of their singles, and none (as far as I know, and being a lazy sod, I'm not looking this up as I write this essay) ever made it on to an official Smiths album. My favorite songs of theirs tend to be the singles and b-sides. The Smiths were brilliant in releasing incredible B-Sides, which traditionally were throw-a-way songs, and not meant to have any attention attached to them. But, all of us vinyl lunatics know that is not necessarily true, and The Smiths had brilliant songs placed in the obscure position of being forgotten. Or not, because The Smiths has paid attention to these 7" little wonders by releasing "Louder Than Bombs," which for the consumer, is a bargain, due to the cost of purchasing 45 rpm imported singles.

La idea entonces fue agrupar a todos los temas que no fueron publicados en USA pero que sí aparecían en los dos recopilatorios a anteriores lanzados en Europa. As with The World Won't Listen, this compilation includes the scrapped single "You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby" (passed over in favour of " Shoplifters of the World Unite"), albeit in a different, shorter mix. However, this shorter version of the song was replaced when Bombs was reissued in 2011. Additionally, the Louder Than Bombs version of "Stretch Out and Wait" is the version from the B-side of " Shakespeare's Sister", which features slightly different lyrics. Also of note is the fact that " Ask" appears on both Louder Than Bombs and The World Won't Listen in a slightly different and longer mix than its single version.Music Direct reserves the right to change the terms of this promotion or discontinue this offer at any time.

So, in the end, if you listen to this collection of songs and still don't feel what the rest of us feel, at least remember that the Moz has already told you why.Erlewine, Stephen Thomas. " Louder Than Bombs – The Smiths". AllMusic . Retrieved 10 November 2011. I don't know, I just don't see what there is not to love. Marr's guitar drives and colors the songs perfectly, the songwriting is top-notch and always engaging and energetic, and I think Moz is really a great singer, even if his style does take some getting used to at first. For my money, The Smiths are the greatest singles band ever. So, the fact that this is a collection of previously released songs (and b-sides at that) and not a proper album means very little to me. The important thing is that these are really strong songs and there's a lot of them.
