Review
This album is a certified banger fr. This is my new favorite Smiths album tbh. The Headmaster Ritual is so good, holy shit. I love the bass, guitar, and lyrics on that one. It just hits so hard. What She Said and That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore are sadly more relatable than I would like, but bangers nonetheless. Well I Wonder has got to be their saddest song for me. Everyone is on point throughout this whole thing.
Rating: 4.5/5
