Title: Actually, I give it 3.5 stars
Product review: This is the first proper solo album. Anyone who is a die-hard fan of The Smiths (as I myself am) will be sorely disappointed. That being said, this is a good album for what it is. Marr's guitar work, while not in the same vein as any of his Smiths work, is still awesome...he is still the master, especially when it comes to layering tracks and creating fantastic guitar textures. However, the songs all seem to be in the same tempo and get rather droney, without too much variation in the chord progressions. This is a good, decent album...nothing more and nothing less. For the definitive take on Marr's genius, run, don't walk, to the nearest record store, buy every and all Smiths CDs, and enjoy!
