Just Suede for us

nrbrt.kzm

Dog Man Star came out just on time to become the absolute favorite record of my teenage years. Back then I thought I am corny and uncool listening to Suede because everybody else does so... Only years later I found out from a Brit friend that Suede considered kind of "underground" even in England. That was weird to hear. Suede to me was the best band of that generation. So it's nice to see a Deluxe Edition now, but there's nothing much here for me that adds to the whole. Most of these B side tracks are already on "Sci-Fi Lullabies" except track 23. I am a fan but not into demos and all kinds of scrap materials anyways. The nicest thing here definitely is #29, Still Life's orchestral version. That one all by itself justifies the release of this deluxe edition.

Amazing album, even after all these years!

Sanity

These guys were going to be the next Pink Floyd - amazingly talented, with that rare combination of an experimental yet accessible and catchy sound. Anderson's lyrics and stunning vocals over Butler's beautiful and evocative melodies were really quite heart-stopping, especially in their live shows. The extras on this reissue are also worth downloading. "My Dark Star" is one of their best tracks, as is "Stay Together", both of which were issued on an EP. Great to see these tracks available to everyone!
