Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The Smiths and Morrissey’s impact on the world of Emo and Punk Rock is huge. The Smiths defied rockist conventions, while creating new classic guitar riffs and exploring the sensitive side of human nature with tongue in cheek. The Smiths & Morrissey set the stage for young bands to forge exciting new pathways in rock music.

1.0 out of 5 stars I can't believe they didn't even learn the words!!!, June 23, 2005

By	Father Morrissey "M" (Raleigh NC) - See all my reviews

This album is a WASTE of MONEY!!!

Don't buy it!

I cannot stress this enough!

The singer/band (The Beautiful Mistake) for the Cemetry Gates cover didn't even bother to LEARN THE WORDS to Cemetry Gates! (and it's not like he made up his own -- he didn't, he just mumbled. How disrespectful to Morrissey, the genius who created the song in the first place. It's disgusting of Beautiful Mistake to sing that song on a commercial recording without even knowing the words...

What a waste of one of the most beautiful songs Morrissey has ever written! I was so looking forward to hearing this cover, I really was, and it was horrible and disappointing.

Do yourself a favor: buy all the Morrissey and Smiths albums if you don't already have them, and don't waste your time, money, or energy buying this third-rate covers album.

Surely the people who produced this album could have found some better bands/singers for this venture. What a unneccessary waste, especially on a project that could have been so good!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Ruining The Legacy, November 20, 2004

By	M. - See all my reviews

When I bought this album, I was totally surprised and shocked in what I heard.

Yes, I knew it would've been all of the no-talent bands that are out today, but come on! I really didn't think it would've been THIS bad!! It is the worst record I have ever owned. This ruined the legacy of the Smiths, one of the best bands of all time.

If you want to hear REAL talented music, look no further than The Smiths or Morrissey.

Don't even waste your money, let alone TIME, on this crap.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money., November 27, 2004

By	Chelsea G - See all my reviews

I saw this in the store, and I just had to have it. Firstly, I love the Smiths, and secondly, I absolutely obsess over Cursive. I saw that they had done a cover of "Frankly, Mr.Shankly" and I bought it right away. I went home to listen to it, and I was disappointed. The Cursive song was great, as expected, but all of the other songs fell short.

If you're considering buying this, don't. Just download the Cursive cover and don't waste your time on the rest.
