A masterpiece. Suede redefined the 90s for me, and I'm American.

Suede is BritPop to me. Yeah, Oasis was good, Blur was fun. But Suede's first two albums were untouchable.

What a great man and what an amazing band

This album for me is an absolute classic without any duff tracks, In my opinion it's one of if not thee best debut album ever. I still play it all the time. "Sleeping pills" & "Animal nitrate" still give me goosebumps everytime. An absolute corker of an album.

One of only a handful of albums that works as a single piece of work. Never tire of it.

Much like "Dog Man Star" as well... Both albums are masterpieces.

Nobody builds up a band and then tears them down like the British music press.

Legit this. Not even just bands but people in general. It’s quite sad

Such an erudite and charming interviewee. That album is incredible,

Adore Suede still. They were a massive part of my 90s

I remember my first exposure to Suede. I was about to go to work and the US version of the Drowners video came on MTV and I was spellbound. Beyond the video being amazing that sound, Bernard's unapologetic use of those power chords with Brett's vocals over it was the catchiest thing I'd heard in years. One of those times where you hear a song and the hair on the back of your neck stands up. That album, that sound, that image was sorely needed at that time. And I dare anyone to find a trifecta like Suede, Dog Man Star, and Coming Up. They haven't toured the US in decades but I was lucky enough to see them twice on the first US tour for Suede and twice on the Dog Man Star US Tour. And fwiw Richard Oakes is extremely underrated.

still one best albums all time and bands

"They're meaningless lyrics but what incredibly moving pop songs they are..." - The Living Dead from their brilliant Stay Together EP epitomises this truth!

Awesome interview. The interviewer is great

those were good old days!

I am from Indonesia..in 2011 the first time I saw their gig..since that I knew I was a goner..

I don't think I can ever ever enough suede The songs are beautifully structured they always seem to be about real life average person so relevant now 1% truly thinks of us as piggies and Swine

brilliant cant wait for them to tour again also the new album due 21 september the blue hour good ol suede never lost it

As a huge Suede fan I always enjoy these kind of programs. Thank you. Thank you Suede!

Can still remember where I was when I first heard them on the radio. This album was just one of those albums that made the sound for an era.

I actually like a few Oasis songs. But Oasis was never in the same league as Suede. Never will be. Nor was Blur. Dog Man Star was the album of the 90's. It's not even close.

Albert Prazolam same. I love oasis but even Noel Gallagher said himself that he’s never gonna be as good of a songwriter as Brett Anderson

i’m actually listening to it right now. the drowners came on my stereo as soon as they starting playing the music video on here.

Love this album

Great interview. Have to disagree with Brett on Animal Lover, though. Great song (let’s face it, there are no weak tracks on this album) and I think it is really important in terms of sequencing, building the album to a crescendo before that big final shift of dynamics into The Next Life.

First album, 2 win the Mercury music award

Fascinating interview. 2 of my favourite fellas. One interviewing the other.

Really surprised, agree great interview. I've no idea who the interviewer is but he's damn good at it. Brett seemed quite comfortable, candid and glad to be a part of it. I'm always fascinated about how the albums that for me never fade are made. Well done all the way around.

New album The blue hour out 21 September.

Wrong, Animal Lover is a fantastic song. It really makes the record sit well within the time frame it was created. Brett get over that tune. It's a power house. It really showcases the bands rock side. Not quite a single like Drowners, but anything too heavy would have spoiled the broth of that record. It's just what the record needed right at that moment and it gives way to the depth of a great closer. It's like one last cocktail before we have to say farewell to a great party.

Apparently Brett says he never liked how it came out live when the band played it...Which makes sense it has a lot of layers of guitars. If the band was a two guitar band it would probably sound better live. I can play this tune from beginning to end and I think it can be done with one guitarist but I am pretty sure that is where Brett is drawing his response to the tune. But for me it's one of their best songs, plus it never gets on my nerves. Can't say that about the Wild One's anymore. Even though it is the best song they ever wrote.

Good point, I always saw that song as a deep little ditty. Kinda like the opposite side of the coin of Animal Lover. It is Animal Lovers opposite song. Which makes that second side so cool. Drowners, Breakdown, Metal Mickey are the Hits Sleeping Pills, Animal Lover and The Next Life the perfect low key tunes to give the album its depth, its dynamics. They got it right. Anything else would have been unthinkable but not appalling. So I am glad they made these decisions. I would have made the same call if I were them. It turned out perfect. They were consistent for their first five releases. The Police were the same and they stopped before they delivered something that was not up to par. Suede should have taken a break at New Morning or at least, stuck to their guns and made an all acoustic record, which is what they were going to do but lost their nerve. If New Morning was acoustic, it could have been rather interesting as a maneuver. But hey, they are still great. I still love them. Even Bernie.

reethkitchards it wasn’t the same after dog man star for me. Anderson and Butler were suede. The 3rd album was ok, great singles, but I thought they lost their way after that. I suppose Brit pop was fading. The Verve, Coldplay and Muse were the new indie darlings.

♥️

Great, now do the second album and then Coming up and Head Music =)

No me equivoco cuando digo que Pantomime Horse es la mejor canción del disco, siendo el disco completamente bueno, esta canción está tan brillanteme compuesta que es como un vendaval sutil de sonidos y sensaciones que tienen que ver con la corporalidad y el ansia del ser. Brillante 👌

...and Bret seems a puppet

1993 the best album that year was songs of faith and devotion by depeche mode., it went No 1 in uk and usa, I believe the 1st British band to do that since the Beatles. I think DM were much much bigger world wide. there album before this in 90 was Violator.

Back when 2 years was a long pre-success period.

Not sure what Jamie meant by "Rocking Horse" though!?

brett is the king of majorcool !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To The Birds would have been so much better then Animal Lover.

no it was bernie providing elton with lyrics first, then elton came up with the melody

Is it me or is he starting to look like Bryan Ferry

Never heard of the band, but then again, I'm American

Waddy bully prove vestu

I once met someone whose favourite song was Animal Love. He was a vegetarian, go figure. I'm relieved to hear Brett is dismissive of that song because it was the point in the record for me when the songwriting started to sound a bit formulaic . Particularly Brett's vocal melodies, very predictable and throw away.
