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 W ant 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. Released: 2012 (Reissue)Cat: 0825646658787Label: Rhino Listen Tracklist 1. The Headmaster Ritual2.
