It Feels Like The Words to a Song

Aficionados of Suede don't apparently view this as one of the best or most representative examples of the ouevre but, for me, this seemed to just click. I like the sharp production, tinged with an electronic / keyboard sound. There’s a sort of straight-ahead, direct, unfussy pop feel, played with a confident, glam-rock swagger. It gets into some nice grooves and, coupled with some neat throwaway lyrical lines, makes for more than a few memorable pieces.

If it was trimmed to a proper LP length, losing the first and last piece and a couple inbetween, I think we’d have a bit of a classic on our hands, mate. Singing, “I can't get enough / Oo-ooo-oooh”.

A surprisingly pretty and subtle album from this lot, some good songs with pleasing instrumentation and vocals. Quieter and more electronic than their previous albums, this is a welcome progression in their sound. A few duffers though, perhaps the album could have been 3 or 4 tracks lighter.
