What Difference Does It Make?" has heavier and more natural-sounding guitars than the version on The Smiths. It is also in a higher key than the version on The Smiths. Beyond that, infant euthanasia, unemployment, employment, rejection and apathy are among the manifold miseries on offer, shot through with a waster's humour (usually) and an implicit, muscular, ambiguous sexuality that scared the shit out of millions. "Reel around the fountain," forever trying to catch up with itself like a record played off-speed, may be the best thing they ever recorded, and the epitome of Morrissey's interrupted fantasies. When first broadcast, these radio sessions mainly featured songs which were otherwise unavailable. All were subsequently re-recorded for singles or for the band's debut album the following year. "This Night Has Opened My Eyes" was recorded in the studio in June 1984, but the only version ever released was the September Peel session.

U.K.: Titan Books. P. 121 You've Got Everything Now" is slower than the version on The Smiths and does not have any keyboard part. The bass line is also altered slightly. On “Girl Afraid”, for example, Stevie perfectly retells the feeling of awkwardness, desperateness, and timidity that flail about in the teenage mind during a seemingly innocuous encounter in a basement, of all places. He also has a supreme talent of hitting on both the male and female perspectives, especially in said song. Stevie’s sexual ambiguousness, both in his media personality and in his lyrics, allowed the listener to mould the song to their own liking and interpret it however they saw fit. Some saw “Reel Around the Fountain” as nothing more than an harmless love song, others saw it as a bestial telling of paedophilia. Some listeners interpreted “These Things Take Time” as an innocent retelling of a friendly drunken afternoon – others interpreted as a ghastly abomination detailing unrequited homosexual love.

Q Magazine, 1 December 1993. Hatful of Hollow reached No. 7 on the UK Albums Chart, remaining on the chart for 46 weeks. [12] In 2000, Q magazine placed the album at No. 44 on its list of the "100 Greatest British Albums Ever".This Charming Man" has softer and more upbeat vocals, guitars and even drums than the version released as a single and on some versions of The Smiths. The bass line is louder and altered slightly. Additionally, there is no solo guitar introduction. Attempting to do this album justice is simply not possible. Every song on the album is a flawless testament to the genius of one of the oddest pairs in pop music history. Morrissey and Marr bounced off each other in a way they have never been able to match since. Listen to Hatful of Hollow and you will hear two of the best minds in pop music at work.
