Title: A Seminal Record
Review: The Queen is Dead is one of those rare records that I can honestly changed my life. The first Smiths record I ever bought, this album made me realize what music could truly be like. Morrissey's lyrics were unlike anything I had ever heard. At 17, the words were like a bullet through my soul. Johnny Marr's riffs (not just on this record) will never be surpassed. The complete contrast in style between Johnny's incredibly melodic (happy) music and the unrelenting seriousness of Morrissey's lyrics creat a landscape which is hard to describe. At once exhilirating and contemplative, it's a match made in Heaven. To me this is the best album of the 80's. The Smiths were always a little too English to be Mega Stars in the U.S. but anybody with any sense realizes what huge gap there was (is) between them and every other pop group (U2 being the only exception-in a world/class of their own). If you refuse to buy this record, I have nothing I can say to you.
Is the review positive or negative?
