However, it’s inner turbulence that’s really being reflected with the man very uneasy about going away and leaving his family and girlfriend behind. And if that wasn’t enough to take in, another handsomely attired collection of a similar stripe, Louder Than Bombs, offered further bang for fans’ hard-earned bucks when it was first released in the US in March. Despite the suicide references, this frantic tongue-in-cheek effort was a welcome breather in between the longer, more serious singles of that year.The narrator seems trapped in a bubble of petty crime and finds the real world too boring to live in.

The album was released as the American counterpart to their recent British compilation The World Won't Listen and consisted of all singles and nearly all B-sides that had not at that point been available in the United States, either on single or album, with a few other tracks added. So, the fact that this is a collection of previously released songs (and b-sides at that) and not a proper album means very little to me. Great reproduction of the art, sleeves and labels too- just be careful removing the discs as the sleeves are that glossy paper that’s prone to scuffing the discs. Even if you're not looking to complete your Smiths collection but just looking for a sampler that covers at least the best bits not available on the regular studio albums, this is still not the album to get.We stand behind every product we sell and offer free live support if you need assistance setting-up, troubleshooting, or maximizing your purchase.
