Title: Too Little, Too Late
Product review: Being a big fan of the Smiths, I was pleased enough to finally see a Johnny Marr CD that I overlooked the mediocre Rolling Stone review. Big mistake. Take a listen to the Smith's song "How Soon Is Now." Then play it 11 times, over and over. All of the songs on this album sound the exactly the same--it's virtually the same arrangement, the same guitar/drum/synth sound, without variation. Top that off with the fact that Marr can't sing very well, and cannot write lyrics (no, I didn't expect Morrissey caliber lyrics, but still.) Yes, he can play a mean guitar, but that's not the most unique attribute in the world of Rock n'Roll. Too bad he & Morrissey couldn't hook back up. HIS albums haven't been that good lately either.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
