Our Take

Ah, SUEDE. The band that convinced many a teenager in the 90s that wearing eyeliner was a good idea. And now, here we are 10 years after the release of "Bloodsports," the album that saw the band make a triumphant return to form, or at least try to.

The 10th Anniversary Edition of "Bloodsports" is a mixed bag, to say the least. On one hand, you have the classic tracks like "Barriers" and "It Starts and Ends with You," which still sound fresh and exciting. On the other hand, you have the bonus tracks, which feel like leftovers from the cutting room floor.

Brett Anderson's vocals are as haunting as ever, soaring over the anthemic guitars and pulsating drums. But there's something missing from this re-release, something that made the original album so special. Perhaps it's the raw energy and passion that the band had when they first burst onto the scene.

Overall, "Bloodsports" is a reminder of why SUEDE were such an important band in the Britpop era. It's a shame that this anniversary edition doesn't quite live up to the original, but hey, at least it's still got us reaching for the eyeliner.

About the artist

Suede

With their flamboyant style, decadent lyrics, and glam rock sound, SUEDE are the embodiment of everything that made the Britpop era so iconic. Fronted by the enigmatic Brett Anderson, the band rose to fame in the early '90s with their self-titled debut album, featuring classics like "Animal Nitrate" and "The Drowners." SUEDE's music is a potent mixture of melancholy and swagger, with Anderson's melodramatic vocals painting vivid pictures of love, lust, and heartbreak. Their sophomore effort, "Dog Man Star," is regarded as a masterpiece, showcasing the band's ability to delve into darker territory while still delivering catchy hooks and anthemic choruses. Despite lineup changes and hiatuses over the years, SUEDE have remained a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. Their latest album, "The Blue Hour," sees the band continuing to push boundaries and experiment with their sound, drawing on influences ranging from '70s glam rock to modern electronica. SUEDE's live performances are a sight to behold, with Anderson's magnetic stage presence and the band's tight musicianship captivating audiences worldwide. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a newcomer to their music, SUEDE are guaranteed to leave you spellbound and craving more of their unforgettable sound. So slip on your leather jacket, grab a bottle of wine, and lose yourself in the intoxicating world of SUEDE.
