Meat Is Murder The Smiths' second album, released in 1985, finds Morrissey and Johnny Marr sharpening their sound into something bolder and more political, tackling vegetarianism, corporal punishment, and social alienation across ten tracks. It became the band's only UK number-one album, unseating Bruce Springsteen in the process, powered by the jangling attack of "The Headmaster Ritual" and the seething title track. Producer Stephen Street helped push their guitar sound into tougher, more muscular territory, making this both a turning point in the Smiths' catalog and one of the most confrontational records of mid-80s British post-punk.
