The Queen is Dead

Absolutely peak album. I love how old albums sound, like they were mad for vinyl. New albums just don't have the same vibe. Record arrived undamaged and plays well

This is without a doubt The Smiths best CD, ever. It's all very clever, ironic, funny, dark, brooding, even a bit sarcastic at times. The drums are hot and the guitarwork is excellent. Even the singing is top-notch. If you are reading this review, you may already have this CD but if not, you would do yourself very well to get a copy.

Anything by the Smiths makes me happy. This one in particular always makes me feel a little bit nostalgic.

I realize that it may be almost cliché to make a statement that The Queen Is Dead is the best album by The Smiths, a bit like saying that Led Zeppelin IV is the best album by Led Zeppelin. The key difference being, that you could also reasonably argue that IV is Zeppelin’s second, or even third best album. The equivalent argument about The Queen Is Dead, if it could even be started, wouldn’t survive long… For starters, as hard as it is to believe, The Smiths only released four studio albums. Also, the title track to their previous album, Meat Is Murder, is, being honest, kind of a drag, speaking as a huge fan of probably literally every other song that they ever recorded. Strangeways, though brilliant, leans a bit too heavily on the pop side of the band. Their self-titled debut, though legendary for good reason, simply doesn’t possess anything quite as magical as the best songs on TQID. The Queen Is Dead has the perfect amount of everything that The Smiths did incredibly well, even compared to most, if not all, of their best peers. It’s an amazing album, and I’m still genuinely shocked that it took me until I was twenty-seven years old to discover this album, and this band, despite being a fan of virtually every great similar band I can think of, for over a decade! If you enjoy The Queen Is Dead as much as I do, might I suggest that you consider picking up the first Smiths compilation, Hatful Of Hollow, as, like TQID, it is also seemingly flawless, with no overlapping songs!

Great classic Smith's album and the last official album to complete my collection. A must for an alternative fan and 80's music fan.

Adoro este vinilo. Su portada, la música, las letras, la banda. The Smiths es una banda legendaria de los 80s. Si bien nací en 1995, cuando descubrí su sonido etéreo y delicado contrastando con lo sarcástico y a veces crudo de las letras de Morrissey, supe que iba a ser una banda que me acompañaría por el resto de mi vida. Qué alegría poseer este hermoso vinilo.

everything was perfect, the record is very beautiful, except that when i put it on the record player, side 2 sounds distorted, i think it's a factory error because the first side sounds pretty good, but i really recommend it, i think i just had bad luck this time, I'll most likely order another one like it in a while

thanks nice LP !!!

This album made a lovely gift

Good

Increíble… Todo perfecto. Nuevo completamente, viene embalado. Disco increíble para disfrutarlo

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.
