The Smiths "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me" Review

THE SMITHS: Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me (Rough Trade) 

This must be the lowest placing a Smiths single has ever had in the NME. If I could get it on the next page I probably would. Taken from their worst LP, 'Last Night' treads no new ground whatsoever. A melodramatic, almost operatic intro slides into an average Morrissey/Marr number that is 2½ minutes long and a ton too light. The Queen is clearly dead here and Johnny Marr’s not looking too bright either.
