Meat Is Murder is the 2nd album from 80's Gods The Smiths. For me, this is one of the most influential, if not necessarily the greatest, albums of the 80s and beyond.
The album starts with the excellent Headmaster's Ritual which easily brings one back to the dusty halls of school, with a metophorical emporor headmaster setting down the law. This track is one of my favourates in the album and is instantly memorable, one of many songs on the album which you will not be able to forget.
The magic continues with The Joke Isn't Funny Anymore and How Soon Is Now. TJIFA is most certainly more in the style of Morrissey and The Smiths - moody, reflectful and brilliant. HSIN is an uptempo classic which is utterly unforgettable. Possibly one of the best known Smiths tracks because of its 'radio friendly', HSIN is immensely listenable and enjoyable.
Meat Is Murder defined a generation, every song is bursting with energy anf originality. Athough it was written over 20 years ago, it is still very relevant.
Would recommend to anyone!
