...together a jangling pop song (“This Charming Man”), minor-key masterpiece (“Back to the Old House”), glam-rock stomp (“I Started Something I Couldn’t Finish”) and even heavy-metal rock (“London”).This variety of song forms, as well as the remarkable insight offered by Morrissey’s lyrics, is why there have been so many Smiths compilations. There is an obsessive quality to this music that makes people want to collate it and try to find...

The song returns to basic rhythm guitar and drums as J. Smith returns to earth and, despite his best efforts, continues to live.Perhaps no track best delivers the overriding pessimism of “Ode to J.
