Excerpt:
"The Queen Is Dead (1986) is remembered as The Smiths’ masterwork. But for me, Strangeways is the apex of Johnny Marr and Morrissey’s collective sparkle. The talented composer/guitarist united with the beguiling lyricist/singer in their most powerful show of alliance. The pair often appeared to be divergent talents fighting for control of the wheel. But that discord offered a perfect counterbalance of each other’s strengths. Nowhere does this feel more crystalised than on Strangeways."
