FoolFantastic 04/20/23 8:05:16 PM #16:	The Smiths - The Queen is Dead results The participants sorted by deviation from final results: FoolFantastic (10) Raetsel_Lapin (12) MaxGalactica (16) neonreaper (18) RyoCaliente (20) HBJDubs (22) Johnbobb (22) Seanchan (28) General Album Comments FoolFantastic: It's unfortunate Morrissey turned out like that, because the actual music of The Smiths does such a perfect job of capturing (queer) wistfulness. This album feels relatively short, yet it constantly switches gears from denser moments like the title track to pure pop rock such as The Boy With the Thorn in His Side. There's a clear divide between my top 6 and the bottom 4, but I still find myself singing along to Frankly Mr. Shankly every time I listen, which is probably once every couple months. This was one of the first albums I discovered when I started listening to albums in full, and it has remained a constant member of my all-time top 10 ever since. It's hard to overstate how much this meant to me back when I was coming out of the closet. And, yes, There is a Light That Never Goes Out is one of my go-to karaoke songs because I am a brooding, overdramatic fop. Seanchan: I was expecting this to be moody, melancholy album that I wouldn't like. And yet again this album cycle, I come away pleasantly surprised! I wasn't doing super close listening but I did pick up on some of the angsty-ness and melodrama. More importantly for myself, I found this instrumentally upbeat and super listenable. RyoCaliente: Songs that saved my life, part one (three?). The ultimate outcasts' album, still. But it's not emo. The music, and the wit and humour displayed in the lyrics make The Smiths more than just a depressing band (even though they can perfectly be that). MaxGalactica: Good album. No huge standouts, but I liked every track here. Lots of great acoustic guitar work. Top 5 I'd consider a tier higher than the bottom 5. Seanchan: After 2 more listens, I'd say that I enjoyed this but it's not a favorite. HBJDubs: Nothing really sticks out to me, but other than the bottom two the album is pretty good all around neonreaper: Sorry if its too late, still wanted to rank cuz its a good album --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ Top 250 songs: https://foolfantastic.com/3290-2/ <cite>FoolFantastic posted [p:972973875] in Rank the T...
