Which Smiths album, released in 1987, was the band’s final studio album?

The Smiths’ 1987 final studio album was Strangeways, Here We Come.

The English alternative rock band recorded the album at the Wool Hall studio in Somerset with producer Stephen Street. It was released after the group had already broken up, making it their last collection of newly recorded studio songs.

The record includes “Girlfriend in a Coma,” “Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me” and “A Rush and a Push and the Land Is Ours.” Its arrangements include more keyboards and studio detail than some earlier Smiths releases.

The album is often confused with The Queen Is Dead, the band’s best-known 1986 studio album. Louder Than Bombs, released in 1987, is a compilation rather than the Smiths’ final studio album.
