Product Description
With their second album 'Meat is murder', the smiths began to branch out and diversify, showing a more political side, especially with the pro-vegetarian title track, whilst refining the jangling guitar pop of their debut. Morrissey continued to spread different messages throughout the album, 'the headmaster ritual' and 'Barbarism Begins at Home' taking a run at corporal punishment. Other tracks are fine elaborations of the formula they laid out on the debut, 'rusholme ruffians' is an infectious stab at rockabilly. Such was their creative thrust at this point; they were seen as the most important british band since joy division. Above all though, there was no other british group making music quite like this in 1985.
