The Smiths – The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths – The Queen Is Dead

A step forward in both sound and scale, pushing the band into sharper, more direct territory. Johnny Marr moves across a wider range of guitar textures, building the structure beneath Morrissey’s most complete and controlled set of lyrics. Released in 1986, the album captures The Smiths at their most confident and fully realised.

The Boy With the Thorn in His Side and There Is a Light That Never Goes Out sit at the centre — defining the record’s balance between immediacy and depth. Bigmouth Strikes Again, Frankly Mr Shankly and Cemetery Gates fill out an album that remains the definitive Smiths statement and one of the essential British guitar records of the 1980s.
