A very good effort by The Smiths. It has an alluring mood of storm clouds, finality and discomfort. Most of the tracks are good, but there isn't very much to say about the album in either an overtly positive or negative way, to be honest. I think it does suffer from the lack of an outright classic song (although 'Girlfriend In A Coma' comes close), but then makes up for that absence with it's decent level of consistancy.
