The Smiths / Meat is Murder

Meat Is Murder is the second studio album by the English rock band the Smiths, released on February 11, 1985. It marked a significant shift toward more overt political commentary and a more confident, muscular sound compared to their debut album. It was their only album to reach number one on the UK Albums Chart during their active years. Meat Is Murder is considered a milestone in indie rock for its bold themes and sonic ambition, earning its place on lists like Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
