Talk:The Smiths (album)/Archive 1

Gushing
Anyone else agree that the song by song description smacks of a fan's gushing? I mean, 'stunning falsetto'? I love the album too, but come on. :P 136.186.1.199 22:47, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Absolutely agreed, so I put some NPOV signs up, also it fails to cite its sources, so I've made note of that. Nervousbreakdance 01:29, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah. Do album pages even need song-by-song descriptions?  I figure a description of a few sentences, chart position, and a track listing would be enough...64.81.146.219 23:22, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Extra tracks? (Japanese CD verson)
Seems the Japanese version of this album has some extra songs... See: The extra tracks are:
 * These Things Take Time
 * Hands In Glove (version)
 * Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now

But I didn't find anything on others pages that shows it's true... Could anyone (fan?) check it?

"Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" was released as a singe in the UK and that different "Hands In Glove" version was released in the single with the same name, I think. I don't know about "These Things Take Time" song... Where was it released in the UK? Those songs are really with the Japanese version of "The Smiths" CD?

New Wave?
the smiths were the anti-new wave. 188.222.41.105 (talk) 21:58, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

"Cover" section
The sleeve art desperately needs to be talked about. It is so ahead of its time, just look at modern indie rock/indie pop album covers. It also needs to be talked about the cover's importance and whatnot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.151.123.87 (talk) 07:19, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
