Louder Than Bombs shows how much of The Smiths' character lived outside their studio albums. Bright guitar figures, terse rhythm parts and Morrissey's distinctive phrasing connect singles to less obvious corners of the catalog. The sequence moves quickly between wit, tenderness and agitation, making a wide-ranging collection feel unusually coherent and full of strong songs.
