'Louder Than Bombs' marks a rite of passage for latter day Smiths fans: you can have the studio albums, but to get swept away in the scene of what it must have been like to hear the Smiths, and, of course, their contrast to big/empty '80s pop, in their heyday, you need 'Bombs.' Unforgettable singles are here, songs that combine misery, humour, acerbic wit and painful self-consciousness...so we can easily forgive the presence of 'Golden Lights.' Maybe.
