I'm going to listen to The Smiths later today. Even with bad reviews I'm excited, because if it's quiet and sadistic, I'm sure I'll see the influence they gave The Belles.

So I guess I won't listen to the Belles either. ^_^

Oh don't worry, I even see you liking them with their later, more lively releases.

If it reminds me of this band I'll have to eat my breakfast a third time.

There's some similarities in lyrics and a few songs. But I'll just have to wait for my turn.

I've got an idea:

Why don't we standardize the scoring of these albums (like either have a score out of ten, out of five stars, etc) so then we can find the average of everyone's scores and post them on the first post where we're keeping track of the albums we listen to.

I think if we do X out of 10 that would be more versatile than the X stars out of 5 rating, personally.

Boo to Andrew? =(

I hope you like The Smiths and Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere more after a few listens. If not, oh well. :cigar:

I enjoyed the latter. The Smiths were one time in music I honestly didn't want to finish the album. I gave Neil Young 4 stars, that's good. Since this is like an "album club" I'm not just gonna be like OMFGZQAGDG 5 stars easily that was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard unless I really thought it.

Mike that's confusing though. Everybody rates with different criteria.

Am I listening to the same album by The Smiths as everyone else? I really like it. I don't see how it's boring or repetitive or sad or whatever. Most of the songs are uplifting and exciting, and Moz has some sexy pipes.

I don't get all the negative reviews either. Sure, the songs kinda sound the same, but at least the sound is good!!!!

And I agree with that Moon guy, the drumming here is fucking boring. It doesn't really detract from the album that much, but I had to make note of it.

Sexy yes, but totally wrong for the genre. He's just not a rock guy, which is probably why each song is slow and has guitars that make me feel like I'm at a middle school dance.

I listened to it twice and liked it neither time.

He has too much of an early 20th century vaudeville quality for me.
