queen > hatful as an album experience, but the sum of hatful's parts is probably worth a bit more

Totally

spun this today for first time in a long time and fuckin LOL at mozza's falsetto

some of the GOAT smiths songs on here but the drum sounds are absolutely disgusting

Album Rating: 4.2

lmao ye I just spin Suffer Little Children in here and then go for the Hatful versions of all the rest

Album Rating: 4.0

would agree that most hatful versions are better excceeept reel around the fountain, i think its placement is a big part of it too but the hatful version seems kinda... vapid in comparison, i dunno

Album Rating: 4.2

the guitar is just done no favours by this production, Johnny rings out like a bell on Hatful



agreed that this version of Reel has more atmosphere maybe

Album Rating: 4.5

true that the bouncier production on hatful doesn't fit the mood set by the song as much as on here, still sounds better tho

as a rule the hatful versions are all better with the exception of this charming man and maybe still ill

UNDER THE IRON BRIDGE WE KIIIIISSED

Let’s face facts.

We all wish we could be moaning teens of the 80s so we wouldn’t have to be moaning adults of the 2010s knowing full well it’ll never hit the point as directly and clearly as Tbe Smiths.

This should be higher
