时代总需要一些东西好让自己铭记.Coming Up正是这样一张专辑.所有人都看到Suede的成功和一炮而红,所有人都看到Dog Man Star的深邃和内涵,所有人都知道下一张专辑他们会有多么大的压力.人员变动之后Suede献上不同以往的流行化的专辑.不得不说这一张专辑是自信的,就旋律来说大气了不少.美妙的吉他曲是这盘专辑的亮点.每一首歌都是不可多得的精品.值得一提的是这盘专辑半数以上的曲目都被用来作单曲,由此可见专辑的质量以及Suede的进步.

If world power was delineated not according to wealth or fame but by musical output, Suede would be emperors. At least most of the time. This exclusive fan club release showcases eight live and acoustic songs from the Coming Up through Head Music eras and — well, to be upfront about this — its shifts between descending intimacy to euphoric hedonism are only about one inch short of astonishing. The lilt of "Since You Went Away" or the ten-hooked dance culture celebration of "Beautiful Ones" sound as potent as any band on the rise. Better, Brett Anderson's voice resonates almost as strong as in those tortuous Dog Man Star years while Richard Oakes — free from the rhythmic feedback of his studio performances — plays an acoustic guitar with the sober grace of someone, frankly, twice his age. Phwoar. This is the kind of music that makes you want to follow the band down the streets of London just to randomly shove money into their pockets. Seductive, brutal, and elegant — Suede is so beautiful they could stop world wars.

无疑Suede是近乎完美的乐队.有好听的歌,有足够多的话题跟新闻,有资历,有阅历.10年来的这张单曲集,对他们有感情的人一定会带着很复杂的心态在听.毕竟Suede已经改变了太多.从最初的So Young,到风光无限的Beautiful Ones,以及内敛的Wild Ones,每个时期的Suede都作出了不可多得的精品.这样的乐队选择告别,也许正当时吧.
