Strangeways, Here We Come is the fourth and final studio album by The Smiths, originally released in 1987. The album takes its title from Manchester’s notorious (and now renamed) Strangeways Prison, whilst the line “Borstal, here we come” is taken from the film Billy Liar. All of the songs on the album were composed by Johnny Marr, with lyrics written and sung by Morrissey.

    I love the big drums all over this record. My favorite Smiths studio album.

    @ Bolshevized: The intro track "A rush..." isn't the weakest but indeed one of their best songs ever! A perfect way to start an album. The entire album is awesome and surely one of my all time favourites.

    Didn't like this one the first time I listened to it. Or the second, or the third...or the fourth. but Now, it's one of my favorites!

    This one is interesting, because it starts off a little slow, having maybe the weakest song as the intro track. It is a fairly significant change in sound, too. Still a very solid album.

    The perfect swansong.

    The most underrated album by Smiths. Beautiful, and absolutely perfect.

    My favorite these days as well. I needed a bit more time than usual to get into it, because musically it's quite far from classic Smiths and more like Moz solo stuff, which I didn't know back then. It might sound a bit "darker" - for lack of a better word - at first, but God - how much magic it emits with time. I learned to love it more than anything else and now it's my first choice for a quiet evening.

    This was my introduction to The Smiths. I stole it from my mom's CD collection when I was a little kid. By far my favorite album of theirs.

    I guess people think this album is weak because there is no obvious classic on it, but to me the melodies are just as catchy as ever and the playing and singing is outstanding and rich

    Weakest. Was huge fan back in the day. When this came out, was crestfallen. Have tried to embrace this album for past 20+ years, still not feeling it.

    the best *-*

    awful.

  • flash_flem

    I agree with Corsnor that tracks 7,9 and 10 are the worst on the album, that being said they are still good tracks

  • borntohang

    Easily their most uneven, but still better than most bands efforts.

    Perfect album! My personal favourite. I really can't understand why people think this album is weak. :)
