| Pros |
The record itself |
| Cons |
THE SMITH's next-to-last |
| Bottom Line |
THE SMITHS's masterpiece and an early precedent for the evolution of Emo |

| Pros |
Lyrics and music |
| Cons |
A couple of nonsense songs |
| Bottom Line |
If depressing lyrics are not what you seek, then avoid this. If these types of songs have a place for you, this is great. |
| Pros |
Morrissey perfecting his role as understated poet of the dim-lit heart |
| Cons |
"Vicar In A Tutu" has Morrissey trying much too hard |
| Bottom Line |
These guys just got better and better, but prepare yourself- they only had one more album to offer. Fragile-hearted teenage girls haven't stopped weeping since. |

| Pros |
Everything about these glorious 37 minutes |
| Cons |
They'll never make another album |
| Bottom Line |
An absolute gem from start to finish- the songs that make you laugh and the songs that make you cry |

| Pros |
10 scorchingly poetic, often hilarious and always achingly beautiful pieces of music |
| Cons |
Morrissey could be rather morose at times |
| Bottom Line |
The Smiths seminal album saw them at the height of their creative powers operating as a brilliant cohesive whole, and producing some of the greatest Indie music of all time. |
