Suede were courted by the music press long before they recorded any material. When Metal Mickey and Animal Nitrate were released in 1992 and 1993 respectively, it seemed all the hype was right. The album Suede went straight to number one.
The second album in 1994, which saw the departure of guitarist and joint songwriter Bernard Butler, before it was recorded, didn’t hit the same spot with the music press. Dog Man Star was a darker deeper album than the first and competing directly with Blur and Oasis at the forefront of BritPop, Suede fell some way short.
The album did however contain their best song, in my opinion. The Wild Ones ,Butler and Brett Andersons finest, a fact that the singer is in agreeance with.
