Suede Suede (2-CD + DVD)

Ranked #9 in Rolling Stone's '10 Best Reissues Of 2011' -- "[This] is their meteoric ascendance in full."
4 Stars - Excellent - "...Suede is everything that great British pop stars used to be--compelling, confounding, infuriating...in singer Brett Anderson, the band boasts one of the great love-it-or-loathe-it voices in English rock...both irresistable and believable..."
"...Suede plunder the styles of their pop-fop forebears and rock your last nerve like a fabulously inappropriate prom date..." - Rating: B+
Included in Q Magazine's "90 Best Albums Of The 1990s."
Included in Q's list of 'The 50 Best Albums Of 1993' - "...mesmerising in its emotional sweep..."
4 Stars - Excellent - "...[Anderson is] a tremendous performer...musically, Suede have created a sound-world that is uniquely theirs...shifts from raucous garage rock to luxuriant sweetness, sometimes within the same song..."
Ranked #94 in AP's list of the 'Top 99 Of '85-'95' - "...Ed Buller's lush, widescreen production is the star of the show, filled with sonic holes for Bernard Butler's post-Marr guitar to revel in, weaving the web of musical deceit in which Brett Anderson's occasionally Cockney, occasionally Bowie...vocals [can] flourish..."
Ranked #5 in Melody Maker's list of the 'Albums Of The Year' for 1993 - "...Gorgeous..."
"...Suede's best [songs] are models of melodic ingenuity, blending coy lyrics with unambiguous sing-along refrains ...enough tuneful guitar to keep any listener happy....Suede does more in 11 songs than the Smiths did in two albums..."
Ranked #3 in New Musical Express' list of 'The Top 50 LPs Of 1993' - "...the new-crowned kings of glammy bluster..."
7 - Very Good - "...has all the essential Suede elements: sex (of the high temperature, doubtless illicit variety), drugs (do 'em, though the message is ultimately cautionary) and vague homilies to the greatness of being so young...[Anderson is] a twisted pied piper for a permanently lost generation..."
4 stars out of 5 -- "On their eponymous 1992 debut...they were arguably the most thrilling band in Britain -- all glam decadence and guitar invention..."
