Album Description

The Smiths and Morrissey's impact on the world of Emo and Punk Rock is huge. The Smiths defied rockist conventions, while creating new classic guitar riffs and exploring the sensitive side of human nature with tongue in cheek. The Smiths & Morrissey set the stage for young bands to forge exciting new pathways in rock music.

Customer Reviews:

Oh My!..........2006-09-24

Please don't ever let this happen again. I will immediately proceed to finding out who owns the rights to these songs and write them regarding this stupid decision they chose to make.

Bad. Very Bad........2006-02-13

I've only listened to "There is a light that never goes out", and it is one of the most horribly arranged and dreadfully executed covers I've ever heard. This band, "My Awesome Compilation" completely butchered a wonderful song by calling it a "tribute?" ... I'd suggest getting Seven Worlds Collide if you want to hear someone other than Morrissey do justice to this song.

Absolutely Horrible!!!.......2005-10-28

First of all I cannot stress enough how much The Beautiful Mistake butchered "Cemetary Gates" It makes my stomach turn. Every single song is butchered. To the point that it's disrespectful. "Frankly Mr. Shankly" "Panic" "There's a light..." such beautiful songs to just have some horrible band cover it. Every band on this cd shouldn't be allowed to record again. Cursive, Beautiful Mistake etc. should be fined for this.

I can't believe they didn't even learn the words!!!.......2005-06-24

This album is a WASTE of MONEY!!!

Don't buy it!

I cannot stress this enough!

The singer/band (The Beautiful Mistake) for the Cemetry Gates cover didn't even bother to LEARN THE WORDS to Cemetry Gates! (and it's not like he made up his own -- he didn't, he just mumbled. How disrespectful to Morrissey, the genius who created the song in the first place. It's disgusting of Beautiful Mistake to sing that song on a commercial recording without even knowing the words...

What a waste of one of the most beautiful songs Morrissey has ever written! I was so looking forward to hearing this cover, I really was, and it was horrible and disappointing.

Do yourself a favor: buy all the Morrissey and Smiths albums if you don't already have them, and don't waste your time, money, or energy buying this third-rate covers album.

Surely the people who produced this album could have found some better bands/singers for this venture. What a unneccessary waste, especially on a project that could have been so good!!!

Not worth the money........2004-11-28

I saw this in the store, and I just had to have it. Firstly, I love the Smiths, and secondly, I absolutely obsess over Cursive. I saw that they had done a cover of "Frankly, Mr.Shankly" and I bought it right away. I went home to listen to it, and I was disappointed. The Cursive song was great, as expected, but all of the other songs fell short.
