Y como lo dije anteriormente, en tan sólo 5 años supieron crear la amalgama perfecta que los catapultó como la banda de culto que son hoy en día. Extremely dirty discs (pretty flat) from a sealed copy (one inner ripped and a bit of rub on D2), but cleaned up very well after a few ultrasonic baths.

The album was intended to be a substitute for both The World Won't Listen and their 1984 compilation Hatful of Hollow, as these had not been released in the United States. A potted history of the Smiths, it offers an excellent flavour of their evolving sound from “Hand in Glove” to “You Just Haven’t Earned It Yet, Baby”. It's an invitation to all the shy, reclusive ones out there to "ask" Moz if there's anything they'd ever like to try.There is no such thing as a bad Smiths record, but for me, it is their compilations that speak loudly to me. A huge facet of what we were about was missed out on, because singles culture is so ineffectual in America. London” is another gritty track, its crunching riff perfectly flavouring the muggy opening lines, “Smoke lingers round your fingers, train heave on to Euston”. Unusually, Morrissey is in the ascendancy when discussing love – “If you’re wondering why all the love that you long for eludes you and people are rude and cruel to you, I’ll tell you why”. No compression on my copy, even Panic (a track that’s had some complaints about sound wise in this and the US edition) sounds enjoyable even compared to my 12” 45rpm single version.

Lo interesante en este compilado es que podemos encontrar a los temas que fueron "Lado B" del single "Sheila Take A Bow" y que fueron tomadas de los ya conocidísimos Peel Sessions, hablo de los temas "Is It Really So Strange" y uno de mis tías favoritos de la banda, "Sweet And Tender Hooligan" grabados un 2 de diciembre de 1986. But even in the midst of all the self-pity, "Ask" displays a positive vibe and a sincerity that is infectious and even touching. Here a menacing riff underpins the exploits of a young murderer of the elderly, who casually justifies his actions by saying that his victims were old and unhappy and therefore didn’t really matter anyway. Therefore it is a treasure trove of the lesser known part of their back catalogue with well known hits interspersed with rarely heard B sides.I’ve not heard better sounding versions of these familiar recordings; they certainly better the versions on The World Won’t Listen. Just as bombastic, but slightly less complimentary was the near-single “You Just Haven’t Earned It Yet, Baby”. The driving, BBC Radio 1 session version of These Things Take Time is a highlight of Hatful Of Hollow, but Louder Than Bombs included the studio recording, produced by John Porter for the 12” version of What Difference Does It Make?

Anyone who has had the pleasure of seeing Jalen perform live knows that he is one of the most captivating performers on today's soul scene.Morrissey’s vocals have a wonderful clarity and richness to them, Marr’s guitar is wonderfully detailed and properly energetic and jangly, and Rourke’s bass drives a nice punch. Even within the same song, hearing that I'm not the only one that wonders why I smile at people I'd rather kick in the eye gives me comfort. Ask” is another fine track, which simply examines the pros and cons of shyness, although it’s again quite vague as to exactly what “the bomb that’ll bring us together” might be. En resumen, 24 temas, muchos de ellos nunca publicados en otros compilados que todo fan de The Smiths debe tener en su colección. had already been released in the US as bonus cuts on the LPs The Smiths and Meat Is Murder, respectively.

A Smiths rareity in the sense that it features a piano, the song hints at suicide with the lines "I really want to go", "there is a better world" and "bye-bye". Although, Morrissey had set the sexual encounter of “These Things Take Time” near the grimy waste ground of a disused railway line, there are elements of freedom and abandon that could romanticise that setting, here council estate poverty is depressingly nailed down, “Amid concrete and clay and general decay, nature must still find a way.The album was released as the American counterpart to their recent British compilation The World Won't Listen and consisted of all singles and nearly all B-sides that had not at that point been available in the United States, either on single or album, with a few other tracks added. However his constant spells in prison are becoming tiresome as well – “six months is a long time” and he seems to even be considering hiring a hitman to help him kill himself – “a heartless hand on my shoulder, a push and it’s over”. Creo y estoy seguro de que con Johnny Marr , el gran Morrissey Official , quien cumplió años hace 4 días, llegó a descubrir totalmente el estilo de música que siempre quiso hacer y viceversa.
