By far Suede's best album!

One of my favourite albums ever. The Asphalt world and The two of us give me shivers.

The best word to describe this album is epic. It's so much more ambitious than the britpop efforts released in the same era. One of the greatest gifts of music is escapisim and very few albums rival dog man star when it comes to lying in bed with headphones on and just getting lost in the music.

One of the best albums of the nineties.
"Introducing the Band" opens the album nicely along with the incredible "We are the Pigs". "The Wild Ones" and "Still Life" are flawless as well.
Other songs are a little hit and miss, but I feel that almost adds to the album, as the songs I don't know in my head feel knew every time I hear it.

The production is eccentrically over the top and almost teeters into self-indulgent. Still Life is a good example, the orchestra is almost so big that it's pretentious, but it never does anything short of beautiful and after the harsh yet brilliant "The Asphalt Word", the gentle guitar that opens Still Life is almost euphoric.
It just resolves everything created by the rest of the album; it soothes the angst and turns it into hope leaving you feeling like you've been on an adventure for all 57 minutes - making it possibly one of the greatest album endings of all time.

Did I mention I liked Still Life?

Pornographic, tragic, and black and white, some of it's more gorgeous moments are when they mellow out and indulge their inner Andrew Lloyd Webber e.g. (Black and Blue, The 2 of Us, and Still Life).

A rambling mess in many ways, but with some great bombastic songs which channel the spirit of Glam Era Bowie through the excitement of the Brit Pop feeling of the mid 90s.

How is this album rated so low? This is a 90s masterpiece. Suede released a B-sides album that is better than most in this chart.

This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.

Being full of more melodic touching ballads while still remaining the glam rock feel is what made this album a much better music piece than its predecessor. If pop music is the most traditional way to present adult contemporary love songs, Suede's Dog Man Star is a masterpiece which showed me how to evolve emotional ballads into a powerful yet not noisy expression. My personal track picks: New Generation, The Power, We Are the Pigs.

Astonishing piece of work. It starts out with 90s indie style pop numbers which evolves into more and more delicate and ambitious efforts as the album progresses.
