The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead
Black Vinyl • Gatefold Cover
The Queen Is Dead does not politely sit in the indie canon. It kicks, sulks, swoons and smirks. The guitars are bright. The lyrics are barbed. Johnny Marr makes everything move. Morrissey makes everything ache, sneer or spiral. Together, they turn awkwardness, longing and melodrama into something strangely perfect. Bigmouth Strikes Again bites. The Boy With the Thorn in His Side glows. There Is a Light That Never Goes Out still stops the room. A strange, beautiful, permanently quotable record.

About the album.
Originally released in 1986, The Queen Is Dead is the third studio album from The Smiths and one of the defining alternative guitar records of the 1980s.
Produced by Morrissey and Johnny Marr, the album captures the band at their most complete. Marr’s guitar work moves from bright, ringing pop to darker, more cinematic textures, while Morrissey’s lyrics balance wit, melancholy, social observation and romantic fatalism.
The album includes some of The Smiths’ most enduring songs, including Bigmouth Strikes Again, The Boy With the Thorn in His Side, There Is a Light That Never Goes Out and the title track.
It remains a cornerstone record for indie, alternative and British guitar music.
