Advantages: all the best Suede songs on one disc Disadvantages: The new tracks let this one down
Suede have been around for donkey?s years or so it feels like they have. . In fact they first released their first single in 1992 which I suppose is donkeys years compared to some lesser bands. Suede were one of the bands along with Blur, Elastica and maybe Pulp who kicked off the Britpop phenomena of the mid 1990s. They are one of those bands who I really like but are not quite one of my favourites of all time. I do own a few of their CDs and was lucky enough to see them headline the Reading Festival in 1997. When they released their greatest hits collection simply entitled the Singles just before Christmas. I decided it would be a good addition to my CD collection. I do have their last two albums Head Music and A New Morning but I do not have the others. My cassette of their self titled debut album Suede snapped and my copies of Dog ...

Advantages: Incredibly durable for both indoor and outdoor Disadvantages: High price tag, goes flat quite quickly
I purchased this basketball a few months back at the BBL (British Basketball Association) playoff weekend. I bought this ball mainly as memorabilia for the day I spent at the event. It's an indoor basketball and therefore it's the highest quality possible. It's made of full synthetic leather and is licensed by FIBA.
Once I had taken the ball home I decided to actually go ahead and use the ball. But instead of using it only inside I decided to use it outside first. As of today I am still using this ball outside and have been for around 2 - 3 months now. The ball has lasted incredibly well. So well in fact that I don't think I will need to purchase another ball for about a year. I use this ball daily for about 3 hours at a time, sometimes longer depending on the weather. I play at high level, I have been invited to England team trials in ...
Advantages: sublime music Disadvantages: never bettered
This album divided critics on its release in 1994 but when listened to side by side with their eponymous debut it is obvious that it was a massive step forward. The only downside is that, as Oasis heralded the beginning of Britpop, Suede were lumped in with all of the other chancers and their struggle to keep up meant that their music would never be as good as this.
It opens with a scene setting short piece called Introducing the Band which quickly morphs into first single We Are The Pigs - it is obvious from the outset that Bernard Butlers guitar playing at improved greatly and this takes the music in a new, more dramatic direction.
This album really catches the earthbound glamour of streetlife romance - Brett Andersons lyrics are full of little down to earth observations that seem natural as opposed to the music that came after ...
