Amazon.com essential recording
This 1987 collection of Smiths album tracks, B-sides, and singles (and roughly half of Hatful of Hollow) is a worthy essential Smiths due to its scope and size. Twenty-four tracks in all, it includes hits such as the irresistible and bouncy "Ask," the Smiths prototype "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now," "William, It Was Really Nothing," "Panic," and "Hand in Glove." Lesser-known tracks like the lovely, piano-driven instrumental "Oscillate Wildly," the dark "Rubber Ring," and the weary "Half a Person" are strong enough to stand without the benefit of support from the hits. There are a few misses here, but they're hardly noticeable when surrounded by all the great tracks. Plus, a number of must-haves ("You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby," "Stretch Out and Wait," "Half a Person") are virtually unavailable elsewhere. --Lorry FlemingCustomer Reviews:

Is It Really So Strange?.......2007-01-20
No ones 80's record collection is really complete unless it contains a Smiths album,and if you are still a little unsure then this compilation is a really great place to start,before trying their proper albums
(in particular "The Queen is Dead" & "Strangeways Here We Come".)
With Morrissey's poetic lyrics and Johnney Marr's great guitar playing,
your in for a treat whenever you listen to a Smiths song.
And if your still hungry for more after those albums check out Morrissey's solo stuff like "Bona Drag" and "Your Arsenal".
All those people who dismiss the lyrics as "Whiny" really haven't LISTENED to them nor understood the amusing and witty remarks that lie within them.
"I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour but heaven knows I'm miserable now"
Most of us have been there, thanks Morrissey.

How do you describe the perfect album........2006-10-16
So, in rebellion, I listened to Debbie Gibson and other pop sycophants and symbols of the time, finally deciding that George Micheal was as fine a point of where music of the 80s would have to leave its mark. My on-again, off-again girlfriend at the moment convinced me one fine, fall day to take a listen to the LTB tape she constantly carried in her back pocket. Three days later, she was shacking up with a greaser to whom I loathed, but who had a car, leaving me with my moody depression, piles of crisp golden and orange leaves and two more years of high school, and a well used Smiths Louder Than Bombs long playing tape.
Morrisey's amazing voice and lyrical talent, coupled with Johnny Marr's amazing guitar feeds, Andy Rourke's back beat and Mike Joyce keeping the rhthym really fit the mood I was in. Each song reminded me of different things; mostly Shakespearean, long train rides, James Dean, and cool, windy, rainy days in which one tends to curl up with a small book of Keats or Yeats and enjoys being alone. Each song seemed crafted, not produced. Very real and raw. Immensely wonderful.
Yeah, I know, three letters. G - A - Y. Still, I loved the Smiths then, and every band I listen to and love now, such as Deathcab for Cutie, Dandy Worhols, the Doves, Jets Overhead, Coldplay, all seem molded by this little band as well. The Smiths were never huge by the Beatle's standards, although Morrissey continues to have a cult following as does Johnny Marr. It's fall again, the cool air has the aroma of rain, and Dead Poets Society becomes my favorite movie again. The tape has long ago fallen to the ravages of play and time, but I have a well worn CD that I still cherish.
Lyrics Speak Louder Than Bombs.......2006-10-10
It's a good value collection, and a fine introduction to the band, I think. There are 24 tracks, recorded between 1984-1987, of all different styles and moods. All have fantastic guitar playing by Johnny Marr, while Andy Rourke's bass and Mike Joyce's guitar keep things catchy too. Morrissey's lyrics though, are what makes this record, and the Smiths, really special, I think. He can be witty at times, he can be warm, he can be sympathetic and he can be despairing, often all in the same song. He comes up with some great little phrases in his songs. As for subject matters, he covers all sorts of things, just as Johnny Marr covers all sorts of moods. "Shoplifters of the World Unite" lends an ear to the commercially compulsive, "This Night Has Opened My Eyes" sees a mother abandon a child, "Girl Afraid" touches on the pushy girl/passive guy relationship, and "You Just Haven't Earned It Yet Baby" (which I reckon really should have gone on to be a hit single) sums up the pain of struggling and striving, whether in attempts to find love or attempts to be famous. It's one of my favourites of the album and the band, as is "Rubber Ring", where Morrissey urges the listener not to "forget the songs that made you cry, and the ones that saved your life" and to spare a happy thought for him after such songs have helped you through tough times. If anyone else had been singing it, it might have come across as a bit arrogant, but the Smiths wrote some powerful songs, and Morrissey knew it! There's also an instrumental by Johnny Marr ("Oscillate Wildly") and a very strange, but typically Morrissey, cover song (Twinkle's "Golden Lights").
The booklet is fairly simple, but it comes with the lyrics to all the songs, which is very nice to have for a band like the Smiths.
Overall, a great introduction to the band, a great addition to Smiths/Morrissey collection, and a great bunch of songs. Recommended.

garden of mediocraty.......2006-03-21
monument in molten metal.......2006-02-04
First off, Chris Cornell's lyrics are not your typical hormonal metal chants. Some of these are diatribes. "Hands All Over" rains down hard on globalization, using abstraction to get his point across in an intellectual way: "Hands all over the coastal waters./ The crewmen thank her,/ then lay down their oily blanket." Light years beyond AC/DC. The immediate parallel is of course Zeppelin. And of course Soundgarden owes them a huge debt (what rock band after them doesn't?). What I find differentiates Soundgarden from Zep more than anything is Thayil's guitar. Listen close and at times his guitar sounds positively Farsi or raga, not always in the controlled way you hear white bands play when they are trying to be "world," but in a way that sounds like him taking his Iranian upbringing and putting it through a filter of rage. I also love his use of harmonics. Few guitarists are as good at making the instrument sound as scary as an exorcism. And of course, he shreds with the best of them, taking the excursions into more post-tonal territory than his harmony-obsessed counterparts doing their time in bands like Poison and Winger. You don't have to think hard to know that he is one of my favorite rock guitarists ever.
_Louder than Love_ stands alongside of their albums near the pinnacle. It's a different beast than any of their others, a transition from the more loose (and also excellent) _Ultramega OK_ to the tighter _Badmotorfinger_. I like the tension and the dynamics on this one. It's the more hippy Soundgarden. I sometimes wonder if I like this a little more than their later stuff because Hiro Yamamoto is still on the bass here. I just wonder if he brought a slightly more sludgy feel to the band than Ben Shepherd, nonetheless a fine rock bassist. Whatever it is, _Louder Than Love_ will be remembered as a monument to the late eighties, the molten metal that singed the life out of the plastic metal out there and really put the bad stuff out of commission for good, never to dominate the charts again. It's a monument that says, "metal shouldn't be commercial, it should scream 'can't escape the louder pull--LOUD LOVE! LOUD LOVE! LOU-OUD LO-OO-A-OV," magmatic riffs and feedback careening with hyperkinetic drums all the while.

Just when you thought heavy metal had either died or mutated into dissonant alternative music, along comes Manowar to prove once again that straight-ahead guitar crunch, powerhouse drumming, and histrionic vocal yowls can be far more potent than the latest Nirvana clone band--and far more amusing. On Louder Than Hell, Manowar guard the heavy metal torch with unintentionally hilarious lines like, "The Gods made heavy metal and they saw that it was good/They said to play it louder than hell, we promised that we would." This never-say-die spirit, along with muscular, audacious riffs, razor-sharp hooks, and strong, simple songwriting keeps Manowar's flame burning, even when they resort to violin-laden power ballads like "Courage." --Jon WiederhornCustomer Reviews:
