Joey got COVID. Bad news. He’s better now. Good news! And his first post-illness pod takes the guys across the pond, for The Smiths’ 1986 album “The Queen is Dead.” The Record Refresh hits on some general discussion to start the podcast: Chris and Joe’s personal experiences listening to the Smiths (7:07), their initial takes on this album (13:14), and the Smiths’ short but productive career (16:53). They then hand out some Awards for this record (31:17), including a Morrissey-heavy discussion for the Awkward Yearbook Photo Award (34:49) and some good stuff too, we promise.

As always, feel free to hit the guys up on Twitter (@recordrefresh) or via email ([email protected]).
