Not as good as Best Of 1, but still......,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Best of the Smiths Vol.2 (Audio CD)
Even though it doesn't boast the hits of Best of 1, it is still an excellent collection of Smiths songs. The highlights of the cd are 'That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore', 'Reel Around The Fountain' and 'Ask'. Its not the best Smiths compilation, but its still a good selection of songs. A wise purchase.

Forget what some Smiths fans might tell you...,
By "stolenmoment" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Best 2 (Audio CD)
... this Best of, along with Vol. I, represent the greatest of what the band has to offer. I own all of the original albums, yet keep coming back to the Best Of's. This is a great place to begin, then if you just gotta have more, delve into the back catalogue... there are a few more gems not represented in this collection. But hey, it's the Smiths... almost everything they released was fabulous. This set is pure gold, opening with my favorite Smiths single, "Boy With the Thorn in His Side." It combines all the elements that made the group special... Marr's spot-on rhythmic strumming, tasteful string swells, a gorgeous and yearning vocal turn from Morrisey, and melody that instantly hooks you. And look... my 2nd favorite Smiths single is also here... "Bigmouth Strikes Again!" The drumming and guitar work will take your breath away. This is a band working with tremendous drive and sense of purpose. My favorite non-single LP track is "Reel Around the Fountain," and its joys may be a little harder to define, but every time I hear it, I sink into a trance and hang onto every note. The key is somewhere in Morrisey's voice... he sounds frozen by emotion, overwhelmed and utterly sincere. Then a totally different vocal approach on "Headmaster's Ritual"... the way he spits out the words, "spineless swine, cemented minds" is classic. "Ask" is another wonderful single... a departure for the band and not one of Marr's favorites, but touched by magic. "Last Night I Dreamt" is the Smiths at their most over-the-top dramatic, but the grandeur of the track makes it work, as if Cecile B. DeMille were cutting a pop record! I won't analyze the rest, but only in interest of space and time... buy this album now!

I LOVE THE SMITHS!,
By jessica "i love the 80's" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Best 2 (Audio CD)
I love this album and every other album by Morrissey and the Smiths. They are truly underrated by the public. The music is sensual,emotional, and thought provoking. Morrissey's voice is passionate and dramatic. The music stirs up emotions you didn't even know you possesed. Most underrated tracks on album are Oscillate Wildly and Girl Afraid.

Awesome!!!,
By K. Jackson "jacksonkdrdr" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Best 2 (Audio CD)
I highly recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys listening to The Smiths. Even if you're not a hard-core fan, the songs on this CD will bring back some awesome memories of days gone by when 'must see TV' meant watching MTV's 120 minutes to see the videos that went along with these songs. You can't go wrong with this CD!!!!!!!
