disappointed with how grossly underrated this record is, even on here where I expected it to at least have some more retrospectively appreciative ratings for it, all things consideredrstill though, this is a different sort of outing for Suede; more soothing and, for lack of better word, pretty than their previous records. The production, songs, and performances go hand in hand. The sound of this record is lush and yet is fully capable of biting when it needs to bite (Streetlife, Beautiful Loser, Obsessions, etc.)rMaybe the problem is people come to this record expecting another Dog Man Star or Coming Up - this is more a record for fans of The Verve and Blur's more calm & introspective material, not neccesarily those looking for more of Brett Anderson's distinct whine over gritty guitars
