  The Smiths: Meat Is Murder ---Ink Blot Magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Second LP Meat Is Murder solidified their fanbase but The Smiths were rightfully considered a singles band until 1985 tour de force Meat Is Murder.
Meat is Murder doesn't shine as the band's greatest offering — I’d have to reserve that title for The Queen is Dead, their next LP, released in 1986.
Meat is Murder has Marr's full bag of tricks on display, and you could argue that he never wrote an instrumental more original than "How Soon Is Now?" But Morissey was always his best when he was being clever and rude, and too often he falls into sentimental extravagance here.

Two Meat Is Murder tracks served as B-sides to support contemporary singles and promote the album: "Well I Wonder" ("How Soon Is Now?" single) and "What She Said" ("Shakespeare's Sister" single).

 Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | When meat is not murder
It is the ultimate conundrum for vegetarians who think that meat is murder: a revolution in processed food that will see fresh meat grown from animal cells without a single cow, sheep or pig being killed.
Lumps of meat would be cultured in laboratory vats rather than carved from livestock reared on a farm.
According to researchers, meat grown in laboratories would be more environmentally friendly and could be tailored to be healthier than farm-reared meat by controlling its nutrient content and screening it for food-borne diseases.

Meat is Murder was one of my first forays into indie music as a 15 year old kid in 1987 and what a great place to start.
Released in mid 1985, Meat is Murder was the bands 2nd official release although in-between this and their first album the B-side collection Hatful of Hollow is often reffered to by fans as the bands second album.
Overall Meat is Murder though at first weird turns out to be a great listen, it was also despite never having a UK top 40 hit their first and only number one studio album, so it should be worth buying just for that you'd think!!!!

 Meat Isn't Murder: The PETA Morrissey Interview @ Blogcritics.org
What matters is that there is no reason to kill animals for their meat, especially when numerous studies show that people with vegetarian diets are on average healthier than meat eaters.
Maybe "murder" in the strictest definition is incorrect, as murder means killing illegally.
But eating meat is unethical and completely indefensible for anybody in the western world with the many vegetarian choices available to them.

Wired has an interesting piece on efforts to grow meat in vitro, ridding us of the need (or alternatively, the excuse) to kill animals to eat.
I bet this development would cause huge resistance from the meat industry unless they'd be willing to embrace it.
I am, however, fairly keen for the advent of vat-grown meats, because although I am an avid slaughterer of animals, I don't think it's a very nice thing to do to them on an industrial scale.

This, the title track of the album, an overly melodramatic anthem for the world's vegetarians, reputedly caused Andy Rourke to give up meat.
It really does tread the line between impact and farce, what with the unearthly effects on Morrissey's voice that sound like an unwell alien, and the absurd cows, sheep and bird noises.
His mis-use of "MURDER" further nods towards his anthropomorphism of animals.

 Roadkill:Meat Without Murder
PETA is urging die-hard meat lovers to help save animals by scouring the streets and turning vehicular victims into vittles.
Such is not the case for all the cows, pigs, chickens, fish, and other commonly farmed animals who are unlucky enough to be born wearing the label “USDA meat.” They have personalities and are quite capable of forming communities and relationships if given the chance.
Still, the fact remains that many meat addicts cling to their chicken wings as tightly as 2-year-olds cling to their “blankies.” But rather than condemn billions of thinking, feeling animals to factory-farm miseries, die-hard meat-eaters can help clear their consciences—and the streets—by eating roadkill.

Marr's music is nothing less than sublime; Morrissey puts aside ambiguity to make himself clear to all after too many mis-readings of previous lyrics.
Morrissey revealed himself as archly political in accompanying interviews, ranting iratedly on his topics of the moment, such as school violence, and vegetarianism, dealt with by the classic bass-led anthem "Meat Is Murder".
Released in February 1985, it deservedly topped the UK album charts, and was the first Smiths album to do so.

Three of the songs on Meat Is Murder deal with saving our children – from the educational system ("The Headmaster Ritual"), from brutalizing homes ("Barbarism Begins at Home"), from one another ("Rusholme Ruffians").
Marr's version of the Bo Diddley beat and his somber, reptilian guitars propel Morrissey's heartfelt plea – "I am human, and I need to be loved, just like everybody else does" – into the realm of universal compassion and postcool poetry.
