The five hundred and fifty-seventh album: #558 The Smiths - Meat Is Murder
Morrissey's vocals on Meat Is Murder are slow and dark, in a way that belies the energy of the underlying music. It challenges you, the lyrics quite confronting of its day and even taking on more current issues. It's a listening album - you need to sit there and take it in to really get what it's all about, but it's more than just the vocals. The music itself is a good punk and rock mixture that betrays a lot more care about the sound.
