The Queen Is Dead

Daughter loves vinyl, this was an instant classic for her

shipped fast and even better than described. thank you!!

You can never go wrong with any of The Smiths albums.

The media could not be loaded. 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.

One of the best albums ever!!

Perfect my daughter was thrilled!

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!

Llegó algo roto por fuera, pero el cd está bien... Venía en una bolsa de Amazon corriente sin ninguna protección... Más cuidado con eso, podría haber llegado roto por completo
