i resisted them until that album then there was just no denying the brilliance

@Nicksloan91 5 лет назад

2:20 so the original female background vocals were "really weird" so naturally they had to replace them with "totally normal" sped up Morrissey vocals haha

@jamesonjaksch4883 7 лет назад

Unknown Pleasures next or Closer.

Always wondered about the fade out/fade in.

@scottvaughn9 5 лет назад

Love that song, and I love this album. But in fair criticism, if something needs to be explained to the listener in order for it NOT to seem like a big production mistake, is that really justification?

@Anthony Genzale It was intentional

@yaeli_i_guess 7 лет назад

Great video. I'm a diehard smiths fan and I didnt know most of these facts.

Keep these types of videos coming pitchfork! Would love to see a footwork history overview since you guys are based in Chicago

While he was going through a break-up my brother listened to the Smiths obsessively. The one I always think of was lugubriously called “A Very Unhappy Birthday,” if that was really the name... He survived. :)

I think this is the best album in the 1980s

@leaks2.073 Год назад

Tom Waits Downtown Train is best 80s Album

@bobointhebasement2063 3 года назад

The Queen is Dead is a great album, but am I the only one who feels like Meat is Murder is the best

@user-ym3ld5ut7b 2 года назад

Maybe underrated? Personally I think the song TQID is one of their most underrated songs.

@akchubeats3758 3 года назад

i feel like hatful is much better but this one is good too

@gnt163 2 года назад

hatful of hollow is compilation not a studio album

@patrikgabrielsson2135 6 лет назад

One of the most underrated albums ever.

@draevonmay7704 5 лет назад

It’s considered by most people to be top 10 in the decade, with many putting it at number 1. I’m pretty hard pressed to say it’s underrated.

@widM_ 5 лет назад

nah, this is really highly rated by everyone

@luismoraless7133 6 лет назад

I find Meat is murder as their masterpiece. Just saying (: Life is very long when you're lonely

@ClearSoundzArchives Год назад

This comment was made on September 8, 2022. How ironic.

@Zakaria95M 8 лет назад

I find this a little overrated, don't think it sounds as good as 'Hatful of Hollow' or 'Meat is murder' in 2016. Though I'm unsurprised at NME calling it the best album of all time (somehow beating arctic Monkeys' debut)

@Zakaria95M 8 лет назад

Reasons? Slightly overproduced, and doesn't have the best of Marr's songwriting. It might be the most "Morrissey" smiths album but not the best one musically, IMO.

@buckleygeneration 8 лет назад

I like Arctic Monkeys' debut, but it pales in comparison to The Queen Is Dead.

@Zakaria95M 8 лет назад

I was being sarcastic, given NME's worshiping of the AM. I guess The Smiths were the same sort of band for the magazine to latch onto, only it was actually respectable back then
