Coming Up
by Suede

My introduction and first album from Suede I've bought. Very nice. Many tracks having a sweeping majesticness to them. Good enough to make me want to check out their other albums.

Shortlisted for album of the year at the 1997 Mercury Music Prize. The winner was New Forms by Roni Size & Reprezent (Edited)

Prefer this to their debut album. Not a weak track, littered with loads of characteristically catchy guitar riffs. Beautiful Ones is the highlight. Chemistry Between Us is also a beautiful track (Edited)

Suedes best album imo (Edited)

Another strong album from Suede, they really were up there with the best of the Brits in the 90s but sadly too often get overlooked in the 2020s. The Chemistry Between Us is just so beautifully sad and poignant, brings back so many wonderful memories. One of Suede's greatest songs from their third consecutive excellent album.

Played it for the first time on its 25th anniversary, how I have missed out on this one! Complete Bowie homage and very enjoyable.

In the 90’s there was a Britpop war going on. You had two album wonders Oasis, there was Pulp ( I never understood the Jarvis Cocker thing), there was Blur with plenty of substance beneath the hype and of course there was the shoe gazing of Ride, Lush and MBV among many others. But there was another band, a much under appreciated band and for me they were the ones, and it’s time we looked back and acknowledged the brilliance of Suede

The run of Suede beginning with 1993’s self titled debut through ‘Dog Man Star’ and concluding with 1996’s ‘ Coming Up’ represents a three album run better than any of the Britpop heavy weights. There is something simply magical about Suedes ability to capture the pulse of the times through drugs, interesting characters and sexual ambiguity. It was and is an intoxicating mix (Edited)

Bearing in mind what happened during and after Dog Man Star, it's pretty much a miracle this album exists, let alone that it is an exquisite collection of pop songs, from Trash - one of the greatest pop songs ever made - to 'Saturday Night', a wonderfully evocative and melodic piece of glam. Pop at its best. (Edited)

A near perfect album with only let down for me being Picnic By The Motorway. But so many killer tracks here including Trash, Filmstar, Lazy, She, Beautiful Ones and Saturday Night.
Love Brett Andersons vocals throughout - might be part of the Britpop 90's but plenty homage to glam rock. (Edited)

Picnic by the Motorway is one of the most criminally underrated songs ever. Give it a listen.
