The Smiths专辑介绍

1983年夏天,有几家小报指责The Smiths的歌词对儿童有不良诱导倾向,以雄辩着称的Morrisey此时以Smiths发言人的身份,坚定地驳倒了谣言。随后乐团开始为他们的第一张唱片作准备。1983年11月,乐团发地了他们的第二支单曲 “This Charming Man”,这首极富攻击性的作品进入了英国榜Top 30。1984年,Smiths再上一层,单曲“What Difference Does It Make? ”升至12位,首张大碟《The Smiths》显示了他们的潜能, 以及倾斜的中性歌词、 Marr生机勃勃的吉它演奏。唱片中有一首“Suffer LittleChildren”是Smiths送给60年代摩尔人大屠杀惨案儿童受害者的一首挽歌。后来Morrisey在一次现场演唱时让一位儿童受害者的母亲站在自己身边。
The Smiths is the debut album by English alternative rock band The Smiths, released on 20 February 1984. The album reached number two on the UK Albums Chart, staying on the chart for 33 weeks. After the original production by Troy Tate was felt to be inadequate, John Porter rerecorded the album in both London and Manchester during breaks in the band's UK tour during September 1983. The album was well received by the critics as well as the public, and it established The Smiths as a prominent band in the 1980s music scene in the United Kingdom.
