Jangly guitar.

by Guest Wed Jun 03, 2020 7:00 pm

Not quite loud enough…

by Nightjar Wed Jun 03, 2020 7:00 pm

Atonal jangling.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Jun 03, 2020 7:00 pm

No song has arrived yet.

by Guest Wed Jun 03, 2020 7:01 pm

Vocals.

My dad loved the lyrics to this one.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Jun 03, 2020 7:01 pm

Now it has arrived.

by Fangirl Three Wed Jun 03, 2020 7:01 pm

Morrissey isn't bitter though.

by Nightjar Wed Jun 03, 2020 7:01 pm

Very clean production.

Too clean.

by Guest Wed Jun 03, 2020 7:01 pm

It's strangely gossamer light and yet heavy guitar, hmm

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Jun 03, 2020 7:01 pm

Yodellingish.

by Nightjar Wed Jun 03, 2020 7:02 pm

Trademark warbling vocal portamento-melisma.

by Nightjar Wed Jun 03, 2020 7:02 pm

Yes, this is what all Smiths' songs sound like to me.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Jun 03, 2020 7:03 pm

This tune only has one note.

by Guest Wed Jun 03, 2020 7:03 pm

How old was Morrissey when this came out?

by Nightjar Wed Jun 03, 2020 7:03 pm

I wonder if Johnny Marr was influenced by Joni Mitchell at all? hmm

This one seems to be going on forever.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Jun 03, 2020 7:05 pm

Track 2 - Rusholme Ruffians.

by Guest Wed Jun 03, 2020 7:05 pm

50s.

Bass.

Skiffle.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Jun 03, 2020 7:05 pm

Sounds quite jolly.
