Kleenex Girl Wonder

The Smith Album

BY Jon BartlettPublished Jun 1, 2001

Graham Smith had a dream about making an album about making an album. While some dreams are usually ignored or forgotten, Smith made a point of following this dream through to its full bloated self in the form of The Smith Album, a double-CD with equal parts songs and storyline. While this idea may seem novel, it quickly tires as we are expected to endure the painfully slow and moronically stupid plot. This said, The Smith Album still contains songs scattered throughout the discs, and many of them rank among Kleenex Girl Wonder's best. The problem is that most of them will probably be ignored, because few people are going to actually dig through the mess to find them.
