Brett, if you're checking in.. this is a fantastic album, don't be ashamed of it. I've been a fan since day one so I go way back. Who cares if "Suede fans" don't accept the "positivity"? Lots of gorgeous tunes here. Just saw you in Los Angeles. Top 5 shows of my life and I saw you in 93! You're one a handful of bands that consistently can sound relative and your energy was on fire at the show. God Bless!

I love this album, I don’t know why people (and even Brett himself) don’t like it.

I'm so glad he changed his tune again and said he disowns it in the 2018 documentary. I've never been so disappointed by a record in my life. I tried for so long, but I couldn't like it.

I still like this record more than any of the later records. I think its their 4th best

Neil giving of strong 'naughty boy in the headmaster's office' vibes there 😜

Richard's got a really good memory. Remembers exactly what was done when.

Hello, yes agree would love to hear the Head Music interview. I know Brett has said in the past that he thought the single "Electricity" was a late edition throw away track but I loved it from the first listen. Absolutely great Suede pop, that cold sound, amazing. And the video was one of the last great music videos in my opinion.

Although he wasn't at his aesthetic nadir here, Oakes was a man in desperate need of a beard.

Lost In TV is lovely, but the album just doesn’t feel like Suede, sadly

Just wondering... do you have the headmusic interview from the same year?

Interesting. ANM fell way short of suede's best. Shame.

That guitar with the weird curved headstock steals the show!

I like Astrogirl better than anything since, don’t know why they slag off the album.

I think they struggled a bit after Bernard left. Richard is a great guitar player but I don't think he quite has the writing chops that Bernard had. A lot of my favourite post Bernard Suede songs are ones credited just to Brett but only knowing basic piano and guitar I don't think he quite had the musical vocabulary to write an album's worth of songs on his own and keep it interesting.

I don't really know what to say about New Morning. I tried to like it, but it just wasn't there. I get that Brett had gotten clear of his drug thing and was taking long walks in the country and whatnot. I get that maybe he was really feeling positive about life at that point and good for him if he was. It just didn't translate to Suede as a band for me. Maybe this was the point he should have started his solo journey instead of going back to Suede.

I have always loved this record but Suede hasn’t made anything I didn’t love
