Bloodsports greatest failure is its incongruence as upon listening one can find songs like the opener "Barriers", "It Starts and Ends with You" and my personal favorite "Hit Me", alongside with very different tracks such as "Sabotage" and the four last songs. The Album as a whole can be a great introduction to Suede's work as it plays like a catalogue of their variety of styles, from the grandiose psychedelia of "Hit Me" to the quiet and extremely dramatic "What Are You Not Telling Me". And while most songs on the album are good on their own right, the work is not cohesive enough for me to really think of it as anything but a compilation of songs. But hey, Suede is back, motherfuckers!
