The Queen Is Dead

I am not a morrissey or smiths fan as such but I will say very clever man and this album is absolutely fantastic. I struggle to think of many albums as good in this genre. Right up there close to the top of the tree.

This album made a lovely gift

All good

it was great!! the jewel case was damaged which i expected but luckily i just replaced it with one of my other cases and it was great!!

good

I will start by saying that before I heard this album, I did not like The Smiths. They didn't fit into the heavy metal scene which I enjoy but also seemed rather 'self indulgent' to me..perhaps that was just Morrissey. But after hearing 'The Queen is Dead' for the first time, my life was changed completely. And for the better. Without this band ( and especially this album) I wouldn't be the person (vegetarian, naturally, thanks to the brilliant 'Meat is Murder') that I am today. I'm 17, so I was never alive while The Smiths were actually together, however this album is an absolute MASTERPIECE!! Every single track feels like a classic- from the oddly amusing 'Take Me Back to Dear Old Blighty' which segues into the fantastic drum intro of the title track..and my word, WHAT A TITLE TRACK. 'The Queen is Dead' really sets the mood for what's to come from the rest of the album, with incredible guitar from Johnny Marr and plenty of humour (yet naturally with a touch of sadness) from Morrissey's lyrics. I don't think Morrissey ever sounded better on a record than he does on 'The Queen is Dead'. Funny tracks like 'Frankly Mr Shankly' and 'Vicar in a Tutu'...Pure lyrical wit on 'Cemetery Gates' and 'The Boy With The Thorn in His Side' and of course, the wonderful 'There is A Light and it Never Goes Out'...As well as my personal fave 'Bigmouth Strikes Again' all help to make this a record you simply cannot forget. Of course...all the other songs on this album aren't just filler for the hits, every piece seems to be in the right place on the album, changing the mood but with overall very positive results. The album can make you laugh and make you weep...but it is definitely something I recommend everybody experience in their life. 'The Queen is Dead' is a perfect album...and I don't say that about many albums. The vinyl edition is also very nice as the artwork is bigger and inside the gatefold has the lyrics printed, with a nice record sleeve too. Cannot recommend it enough, buy it right now!

Sublime album

Probably my favourite Smiths album. Starting with the brilliant Queen is Dead, every track is a Smiths classic. A must have in any vinyl collection.

Good

Same as picture

This record is amazing! Arguably their best one. Let it play through, you won't be sorry. There are absolutely no bad songs on this album. The sound quality is great and was mastered well. It came in fantastic condition which is a big plus. So no manufacturing issues such as warping, scratching or surface noise. I highly recommend this album. A great addition to your Vinyl collection.

e veio tudo certo! sem dúvida um dos maiores álbuns deles, to apaixonada!
