  Separated from The Smiths, the songs become more exposed and theatrical. Stephen Street gives tracks like “Suedehead” and “Everyday Is Like Sunday” a spacious elegance that contrasts sharply with Morrissey’s bitterness and self-dramatization. The loneliness feels less communal now, more self-contained. That narrowing of focus makes the record oddly intimate.
