Suede (studio album) by Suede

Take glam rock and add muscular guitars, and britpop is born. Opener "So Young" even sounds like a Bowie tribute at first. Though their sound is a bit keyboard heavy at times, I still like the album a lot. Nice guitar work and a great set of songs. "Moving" sounds like The Smiths, but that's no bad thing.

This is the only album that trying to tell you how you feel about telling that almighty what you've missed for so long as a matter of not seeing each other since you were born.

Quite good and enjoyable album, sounds like fusion of early 90s alt rock and 70s glam rock and has some creative lyrics.

I like the movement that follows this a whole lot more than this album, but there's still a very good record here.

Decent, but not as spectacular as I expected it to be. Animal Nitrate is absolutely phenomenal, I also liked She's Not Dead, Drowners and Pantomime Horse. A few too many weak tracks for this to be a top-tier album though for me. Some of the guitar riffs are stunning.

Great tracks: Pantomime Horse, Animal Nitrate, So Young

In 93 it sounded like something from another planet. I think it still does. The atmosphere and effects of the whole thing are just beautifully infectious. Often it's the slower moments that stick out for me, like 'Pantomime Horse' and 'The Next Life', but the combination of Butler and Anderson is irresistible here.

Not a big fan of Suede but this is a great album. Definitely their best album

Britpop's hidden gem. Darker, deeper and a lot more tasteful than many of its contemporaries, Suede's self titled debut plays far better than anyone could expect a first album to go.

Of more significant note, however, is that it goes to places its contemporaries could only dream of. The confidence with which Anderson's lyrics tittle along the line of sexual explicitness is fantastic, and it's refreshing to hear such confidence in the subject matters he delves into.

Its a record for the slightly downtrodden and dirty-minded who want an escape into a world with people like themselves. One for those after that echoy, metallic early 90s sound with enough confidence to tackle more carnal matters too.
