The Smithereens was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from The Smithereens and Blown To Smithereens: The Best Of The Smithereens together. While no new The Smithereens album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1995 tour in Asia. Lead single “Beauty & Sadness” and “Strangers When We Meet” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. This is my first The Smithereens Album and i must say i am blown away.
Strangers When We Meet gives taste of what makes The Smithereens special as a musician. Blood & Roses is another favourite of mine. In A Lonely Place is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. Behind The Wall Of Sleep was the first single release from the album Blown To Smithereens: The Best Of The Smithereens. This track is a killer, it just grabs you instantly. House We Used To Live in is a fine track on any terms. What sets Drown In My Own Tears apart is The Smithereens’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. The song A Girl Like You ending is my favorite… so catchy! This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. Blues Before & After - This one has a powerful beat and a good melody. No The Smithereens song has come close to capturing my attention as Yesterday Girl did. Top Of The Pops is a strong cut, one of many. I was truly moved when I heard Too Much Passion. Miles From Nowhere defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone. When I listen to Time Won’t Let Me (Theme from ‘Timecop’) in my car when traffic ain’t going so good.
