It has 24 tracks on it, and there really isn't one in the batch that reeks. In fact, can I say that they are all brilliant? Can I say that I really dig The Smiths? Yes. The Smiths were one of the best bands of the 1980's, and none of their music has dated. Whenever I listen to it, I don't think "80's Smiths", I just think it's brilliant, timeless music. Many of these songs show off Morrissey's brilliant, sardonic wit, something that many critics of this band miss, and Johnny Marr's amazing melodies. They call the lyrics whiny and they called Saint Morrissey a p***y, but he's the furthest thing from a whiny you-know-what. I think many are just jealous of his enormous talent. There's a lot going on in between the lines. The more I listen to any Smiths music, the better it gets. Louder than Bombs has some of the best Smiths songs EVER. Is It Really So Strange? is a pop masterpiece. I adore Panic with its brilliant and stunning chours "hang the DJ" and the line "the music that they play/it says nothing to me about my life". Most of the stuff I heard when growing up never said nothing about my life, and it's nice to hear someone saying it so beautifully. I love the prickly, hilarious William, It Was Really Nothing. And Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now is a great, great song. I agree with Morrissey on "why should we give valuable time to people who don't care whether we live or die". The Smiths's music was always universal. It doesn't belong to any time frame. 100 years from now, this stuff will still be awesome. Editorial Reviews for Louder Than Bombs Audio Cd      Amazon.com essential recording      This 1987 collection of Smiths album tracks, B-sides, and singles (and roughly half of Hatful of Hollow) is a worthy essential Smiths due to its scope and size. Twenty-four tracks in all, it includes hits such as the irresistible and bouncy "Ask," the Smiths prototype "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now," "William, It Was Really Nothing," "Panic," and "Hand in Glove." Lesser-known tracks like the lovely, piano-driven instrumental "Oscillate Wildly," the dark "Rubber Ring," and the weary "Half a Person" are strong enough to stand without the benefit of support from the hits. There are a few misses here, but they're hardly noticeable when surrounded by all the great tracks. Plus, a number of must-haves ("You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby," "Stretch Out and Wait," "Half a Person") are virtually unavailable elsewhere. --Lorry Fleming
