Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
As this greatest hits-style collection--unglamourously entitled Singles--serves to prove, Suede were fashionably wasted and seedily sexy wretches years before catwalk pundits had even coined the phrase "heroin chic". Irrefutably the first great British band of the 1990s (they were, somewhat unwisely, dubbed "the new Smiths"), Suede stepped out from the despondent, suffocating shadow of moping American grunge with a head full of Ziggy Stardust and a hedonistic agenda of urban escapism, casual intercourse, recreational chemistry thrills and the sort of shoestring decadence that still makes the likes of "So Young" ("Let's chase the dragon" shrieked Brett Anderson) and "Animal Nitrate" the musical equivalent of promenading in a fur coat purchased from a charity shop. It was almost too good to last.

The ironically titled "Stay Together" (why not the full eight minute version?) was more grandiose in design but the mysterious union between Brett Anderson and furry-toned guitar maestro Bernard Butler was on the rocks and their marriage dissolved over the choice of mixer for the classic Dog Man Star, herein represented by the anthemic "We Are the Pigs", "New Generation" and "The Wild Ones". Guitar-slinging Poole Grammar school pupil Richard Oakes stepped into the breach and Suede became even more complicit with the charts via such brazen glam-pop stompers as "Trash" and "Electricity". Lately, though, Brett Anderson sounds more like an observer of rather than a participant in the pharmaceutically-addled underbelly of back-street British suburbia. The two exclusive new songs are slightly underwhelming ("Love the Way You Love" sounds like a Phil Oakey comeback) but every dog has its day and Suede have, with every justification, already earned their place in history. --Kevin Maidment

CD Description
First "hits" compilation from possibly the best - and certainly the most underrated - band of the Britpop boom of the 1990s. With their tales of low-rent glamour featuring BernardButler's coruscating guitar work and Brett Anderson's unmistakable voice, they were touted as natural heirs to the Smiths. All their singles are featured here including 'Animal Nitrate', 'Trash', 'The Wild Ones', 'The Beautiful Ones', 'She's In Fashion', 'Saturday Night' and a sadly truncated version of the epic 'Stay Together'.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Of The Best Bands Of The 90's!, 7 Oct 2003
Despite their virtually being ignored in Britpop documentary "Live Forever", Suede played an enormous part in that movement. With a huge loyal fanbase their unique style has captivated those listening to their records for years.

Now a "Singles" collection arrives, and contains, if not everything a Suede fan needs, a good selection for 90's pop fans. Special mention must go to the singles from the first three albums, as although their last two have been perfectly good, they are not the classics that "Suede", "Dog Man Star" and "Coming Up" were.

The only odd thing about this collection is that it is largely paralled by a DVD called "Lost In TV" released a few years ago, which doesn't feature anything from the last album, but is probably a better product for fans.

Special mention must be given to the fact that a band as dependant on their guitarist as early Suede were managed to change guitarists and still produce an album like "Coming Up".

To entice fans we have two so-so new tracks and the infamous "Stay Together" now disowned by the band. Don't tell Brett I said this, but it's actually pretty good!

This is the third of the Britpop big four's best of albums, with Blur and Pulp already having put them out, that only leaves Oasis...

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure class, 13 Oct 2003
By Ziggy Spaceboy (Germany (Englishman)) - See all my reviews
Hated their last album but this singles collection is a must-buy for new & old fans (like me).
Even if you have everything here, it's nice to have it all in one official(!) place...
Personal faves:
We Are The Pigs (My all-time fave though the main man hates it)
Stay Together (Stunning tune, crazy lyrics and, again, Brett hates it!)
Beautiful Ones (Absolute classic)
Trash (Love it)
New Generation (Very catchy tune)
She's In Fashion (Silly lyrics, great tune)
So Young (The song which got me into Suede in the first place)
Lazy (Great tune which had a "fun" video. Reminds me of the old 70's hit "I Was Born With A Smile On My Face" - anyone else think this?!)
And basically, every other song on here apart from the ones from the "New Morning" album which I just can't stand!

This is a great introduction and tribute to my favourite band of the 90's (along with Blur and Pulp)...

4.0 out of 5 stars Suede - Singles., 2 Nov 2003
Suede emerged to a flurry of press in the early nineties replete with their own “cellophane sounds” name checking everyone from JG Ballard, to the Smiths and David Bowie. Brett Anderson obsession with the low rent glamour of suburbia was welded to some of the most expansive guitar work of the decade from Bernard Butler. In those early years Suede were glorious and imperious, they were one of the best song-writing partnerships to emerge since Morrissey and Marr themselves. This collection highlights that early period, from the sublime suburban glam of “Metal Mickey” to the sexual baiting of “Animal Nitrate” with its repeated refrain of “What does it take to turn you on?” Ballads are also here the heart-stopping and beautiful “The Wild Ones” being a highlight. The zenith of the Butler Anderson songwriting partnership comes on the skyscrapingly brilliant “Stay together” with its whirling guitar solos and Anderson’s majestic vocal.

Butler’s departure left a very different band to remerge in the Britpop years, streamlined and slimmed down(Richard Oake's now on guitar's) Suede were now stripped of their mystique, but producing glam pop for the easy to use generation. The highlight of this period was the gloriously anthemic “Trash” with its communally identifying chorus line of “We’re trash you and me / We’re the lovers on the streets the litter on the breeze” in many ways this is Suede’s Heroe’s the ultimate statement of hope through struggle.

Head Music’s singles were characterised by an increasingly electronic palette from the excellent “Electricity” to the beautiful shuffle of “ Everything will flow.” Unfortunately recently this new suede sound came at a price in many places their lyrics became lazy on tracks like “positivity” with its rhyming dictionary verses and self parodying chorus. Of the two “new tracks” Attitude stands out sounding, as it does like a clipped Sneaker Pimps fronted by Mr David Bowie.

So this singles collection covers, each section of the career of Suede whilst maybe pointing the way for the future. Overall this is a insatiable collection of killer singles that shows the best of one of Britain’s truly great bands.
