Strangeways, Here We Come is the fourth and final studio album by English rock band the Smiths. It was released on 28 September 1987 by Rough Trade Records, several months after the group had disbanded. All of the songs were composed by Johnny Marr, with lyrics written and sung by Morrissey. Rolling Stone said the record “stands as one of their best and most varied”. Slant Magazine listed the album at No. 69 on its list of “Best Albums of the 1980s”, writing that “Whether or not Strangeways, Here We Come ended the Smiths’ brief career with their best album has been the subject of considerable debate for nearly a quarter century, but it definitively stands as the band’s most lush, richest work.”
