The Queen Is Dead

Product Information

Un día como hoy 16 de Junio de 1986, sale a la luz el álbum que sería considerado como la obra maestra de The Smiths , llegando así a cumplir en este 2021, 35 años de este lanzamiento que en lo particular, me genera sentimientos encontrados ya que si bien no lo considero como el "mejor álbum" de la banda; el single "Bigmouth Strikes Again" fue el primer tema que oí de ellos allá por el año "1996" y además porque está edición alemana de época en "vinilo verde" fue el primer vinilo de color que tuve en mi colección.

A demo of the music for " Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others" was posted by Marr through Morrissey's letterbox in the summer of 1985. Morrissey then completed the song by adding lyrics. Marr has stated that he "preferred the music to the lyrics". [12] :405 a b c d e f g h i j k Goddard, Simon (2009). Mozipedia: The Encyclopedia of Morrissey and The Smiths. London: Ebury Press.

Two other loose categories could be formed out of the songs on The Queen Is Dead: Beside the meta, there’s the merry and the melancholy. Despite the morbid (and misspelled) title, “Cemetry Gates” is sprightly and carefree. Even though they’re strolling among the gravestones quoting poetry at each other to show how intensely they feel the sorrow of mortality, the life-force is strong in these precocious youngsters. As so often with Morrissey, the frissons come with the tiny quirks of unusual word-choice or phrasing—the little jolt of the way he pronounces “plagiarize” with an incorrect hard “g,” for instance. Featuring the album’s second instance of cross-dressing, “Vicar in a Tutu” is a slight delight with just a casual twist of subversiveness in a passing reference to the priest’s kinky antics being “as natural as rain”: This freak is just as God made him. Almost cosmic in its insubstantiality, “Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others” seemed at the time an anticlimactic ending to such an Important Album. Now I think the understatement is just right, rather than the obvious curtain-closer, “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out”—the glide and glisten of Marr’s playing on “Some Girls” is that never-fading light.The Smiths Queen Is Dead 1986 Tour Vintage Poster Album Vinyl Cover Top 80s Music T Shirt Vintage Gift Unisex Top Tee B907 That said, Bill Inglot and Dan Hersch are justly famed for overly bright and hard sounding remasters done in the digital domain - which is exactly the case here.

Como dato curioso, a principios de "1986", Morrissey Official decide expulsar a Andy Rourke por sus constantes problemas con la heroína siendo "Craig Gannon" el encargado de reemplazarlo. Live In Boston' sounds like a soundboard recording, and is devoid of all the joy and verve that live performance is meant to capture.The Queen Is Dead spent 22 weeks on the UK Albums Chart, reaching number two. [7] It reached number 70 on the US Billboard Top Pop Albums chart and was certified Gold by the RIAA in late 1990. In 2020, Rolling Stone ranked The Queen Is Dead 113th on its updated list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". [8] In its 2013 list, NME named The Queen Is Dead the greatest album of all time. [9] Songwriting [ edit ] And then there’s the life-and-death serious stuff. Both songs of unrequited love, “I Know It’s Over” and “There Is a Light” make a pair: The first spins majesty out of misery, the second transcends it with a sublime and nakedly religious vision of hope-in-vain as an end in itself. The writing in “I Know It’s Over” is a tour de force, from the opening image of the empty—sexless, loveless—bed as a grave, through the suicidal inversions of “The sea wants to take me/The knife wants to slit me,” onto the self-lacerations of “If you’re so funny, then why are you on your own tonight?” and finally the unexpected and amazing grace of “It’s so easy to hate/It takes strength to be gentle and kind.” Not a strong or sure singer by conventional standards, Morrissey gives his all-time greatest vocal performance, something ear-witness Johnny Marr described as “one of the highlights of my life.” The album was produced by Morrissey and Marr, working predominantly with engineer Stephen Street, who had engineered the band's 1985 album Meat Is Murder. Street recalled: "Morrissey, Johnny and I had a really good working relationship – we were all roughly the same age and into the same kind of things, so everyone felt quite relaxed in the studio".
