Easter turned out to be the best compromise Smith achieved between her artistic and commercial aspirations.

The 1978 album ... brought Patti Smith fame, the rebirth of her career, and her most controversial song.

I have been looking forward to hearing more Patti! I am so excited to see if she can keep up the quality from her last two albums...
Till Victory:
A triumphant start to the album! Oh how I missed her unique voice! It's pretty standard Patti at this point, so while I am not particularly impressed, I still enjoyed myself with this.
Space Monkey:
"That son of a bitch over there is not a Banana!"
Now THIS is the Patti that I know and love so much! Weird lyrics? Check! Passionate ... read more
One of her most consistent records that was her first real breakthrough success into the mainstream. Despire this fact, it still serves as an excellent centerpiece of her 70s material. Easter is a great album through and through.
Insanely consistent and not a single bad song on he- oh patti...patti why...just why...
cant help but feel the energy and style that made horses so good is not the same here, but i might warm up to it who knows

It’s a shame that track 6 is… what it is because it sounds so good :(
But instead we’re left with a song that tries to redefine a slur while also is “supposed to be funny” and instead ends up a baffling listen and extremely ignorant
Also none of her explanations of the song make any sense (look at the liner notes, like what the fuck)
