Best...II is the second of two compilation albums drawn from The Smiths' celebrated back catalogue, originally released in 1992 through WEA. Covering a wide breadth of the band's work, it serves as both an excellent entry point for new listeners and a satisfying retrospective for longtime fans of Morrissey and Johnny Marr's iconic partnership.
What makes this collection stand out is how naturally the tracks flow together, showcasing the band's signature blend of Marr's melodic, jangly guitar work and Morrissey's sardonic, deeply literary lyricism. Reviewers have praised the strong sonic quality and the surprisingly cohesive listening experience the sequencing creates, making it one of the more memorable Smiths compilations from the era.
