Album name：Best...II
Sequels to best-of collections tend to be a bit suspect, unless, of course, the band in question had an exceptionally long run that was prematurely anthologized midway through. In the case of this posthumous souvenir of the Smiths' four-year career, casual fans may be disappointed to find that you can't sulk to 'Girlfriend in a Coma' (like most of their hits, it's on volume one) or even moo along to 'Meat Is Murder' (saved for a projected volume three?). Then again, Morrissey and Johnny Marr were anything but one-hit wonders, and tracks such as 'Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now' and 'Bigmouth Strikes Again' make it clear the band could turn out high-quality, hummable odes to melancholia until the cows come home, which, by the time of this 1992 anthology, they already had. --Bill Forman
