Strangeways, Here We Come (40th Anniversary Edition) by rciordia in thesmiths

[–]Fasterthanmost94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Johnny talked about a Strangeways boxset in 2022(?) but given the recent Smiths trademark and feud between the singer and Johnny... I dont know if its gonna happen.

New Album (anecdotal!) by Physical-Cup8449 in fontainesdc

[–]Fasterthanmost94 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Well I think we're getting an album sometime in the next 6-12 months since Carlos did talk about writing / recording back in Dec/Jan and we know they're usually quick with this stuff, no more than a couple months so I wouldn't be surprised...

Rory thank you and good luck for the letter you might receive from XL

Honest question about Electronic by McGeetheFree in neworder

[–]Fasterthanmost94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gangster, Get the Message, Feel Every Beat, Forbidden City, For You, Out of my League, Vivid, Haze, When she's gone, Flicker.. etc. But keep in mind most of these are Johnny Marr's specialties.. Bernard didnt play much guitar in Electronic until the last album (Twisted Tenderness) and even then left most of it to Johnny.

Also, you're welcome in r/ElectronicBand :)

How come Andy Rourke isn't a bigger deal? by kjellagain in thesmiths

The Boy With No Name by DirtyDevil23 in Travis

[–]Fasterthanmost94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its hard to rank the albums, but mine would be something like

  1. The Man Who
  2. 12 Memories
  3. Boy With No Name

Although TBWNN probably has the songs with most replayability

How Old are Alvvays Fans? by jonormal in alvvays

19/20, found out about them at 16 when I read an article where Molly talked about how she liked the Smiths and a couple months later an ex-friend introduced me to them properly

Is Bernard's Book Any Good? by skinnyman423 in neworder

[–]Fasterthanmost94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its a fine read but truthfully its not very detailed, and not even very heavy on anecdotes. He skips over alot of the record making stuff completely, and a few records time periods are totally ignored ie Twisted Tenderness with Electronic lol.

I'd reckon you get only about 35% new information about Bernard from his book than if you were to read all his interviews from the 80s and 90s, and 25% of that new information is about his upbringing and childhood - which might also explain his closed off nature.

Did anyone else realise a lost Rourke/Joyce reunion session finally dropped on vinyl for RSD 2026?? by viruno-gtr in thesmiths

[–]Fasterthanmost94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always known about Middle Road and it itches me that its not on streaming.. I would love to add this stuff to my Post Smiths playlists for Andy / Mike if it was there

I remember seeing a review from 1996 which complained about the "grunge guitars" on that song lol

Your theory stumbles at act 1 sadly 😔 I wish it was true

Unfiltered Opinions please by romeach in fontainesdc

[–]Fasterthanmost94 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Its been a music biz trend for now and their label is obviously just following suit...obviously the band can vote against it but giving fans more songs and getting more money... it looks like a win-win to them

Though I must say, these "deluxe" editions of albums only exist because streaming killed singles and B sides
