With their second proper album, 'meat is murder', the smiths began to branch out and diversify, while refining the jangling guitar pop of their debut. 'the headmaster ritual' and ' i want the one i can't have' are fine elaborations of the formula they laid out on the debut, while 'Rusholme ruffians' is an infectious stab at rockabilly. such was their creative thrust at this point; they were seen as the most important British band since joy division. above all though, there was no other British group making music quite like this in 1985.
