Well I'd say it's Meat is Murder by the Smiths. While their first album seemed more dependent on lyrics and chiming guitar riffs, their second album and first #1 in the UK is more dependant on Morrissey's voice and the band musically, with Andy's funk like bass on Barbarism Begins at Home and the sonic beauty of How Soon Is Now with Johnny Marr's wailing guitar cries matching Morrissey singing "I am Human and I need to be loved just like everybody else does!". Lyrically the album is great as one would come to expect from anyone who had heard the Smiths first album and though not as rich in poetic details it does a very good job, from the first lines on The Headmaster Ritual "Belligerent ghouls run Manchester schools, spineless swines cemented minds" to the last line of the title track that questions the morality of killing and eating an animal "who hears when animals cry?"

Possesed- was never a fan of this. The production was terrible but their later EP 'The Eyes Of Horror' is one of my favourite Metal releases. Saying that an up for this would be appreciated for a nostalgic listen.
John Zorn - OMG. everyone should own this masterpiece.
