Suede - Still Life Lyrics
#britpop 93-97
3/40
How to try to raise the stakes and surpass the debut album? Bernard Butler had envisioned Dog Man Star differently, but when the music business is involved, compromises are part of the game. Unsatisfied, Butler will leave Suede, hurting both himself and the band, who will go on to release Coming Up, their best-selling album, two years later, the so-called Swan Song. I don't know how it could have been, but what matters most is that the compromise album that emerged serves as a perfect bridge between Progressive and Symphonic Rock, always passing through the Neo-Glam of the debut. Wild Ones, New Generation are the standout tracks, but even after so many years, the last four—Two of Us, Black Or Blue, The Asphalt World, and the stunning Still Life—prove to be the real gems of the album, setting them apart from the usual Britpop band.
