The Smiths — "Meat Is Murder" (1985) / EACFLAC

"Meat Is Murder" is the Smiths’ second studio album, released in 1985. It marked a clear evolution from their debut: sonically sharper, more politically charged, and dominated by Morrissey’s outspoken vegetarianism and lyrical irony. The title track—an explicit anti-meat manifesto—became one of the band’s most controversial and discussed songs, pairing stark, confrontational lyrics with an earnest, mid-tempo groove. Musically the album blends Johnny Marr’s chiming, layered guitar work with rhythmic bass and restrained percussion, producing a mood that ranges from defiant to melancholic.
