A bit more pleasant on one's ears.

I'd liked to have heard Chas & Dave doing this.

Song has ended but the track still has some way to go........

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Apr 05, 2022 7:45 pm

Is it going to prove to be a false ending? scared

Lyrics imparting a faux sense of junkies dying in a bedsit...

It was not a false ending.

by Butterfield Tue Apr 05, 2022 7:45 pm

Help.

~~Best part of the album~~

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Apr 05, 2022 7:46 pm

It is over.

I felt the three famous singles heavily outperformed the other tracks.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Apr 05, 2022 7:46 pm

I shall give it 3 stars.

by Butterfield Tue Apr 05, 2022 7:46 pm

Bit of an anticlimax.

by Butterfield Tue Apr 05, 2022 7:49 pm

Yes. Great singles, a couple of decentish album tracks and a fair bit of mediocreness. I've flirted with the idea of a Suede album for years but having now heard the debut it's not an album I'd invest in. The singles are great though - perhaps a greatest hits would be better for me.

3/5

It's probably a bloke and bird.

Like back in the Lad Mag era when the vague notion of androgyny was still cutting edge.

Or just two bints...

The cover image of the androgynous kissing couple was taken from the 1991 book Stolen Glances: Lesbians Take Photographs edited by Tessa Boffin and Jean Fraser.

The photograph was taken by Tee Corinne and in its entirety shows a woman kissing an acquaintance in a wheelchair.

Corinne had in fact turned down the band's request to use the full shot of the two naked women and insisted they could only use a head and shoulders close-up of the women to protect their identity.
