Brett Anderson - Love Is Dead
Former Suede man fails to glitter

Brett Anderson - Love Is Dead

"No one ever shares my bed".

String laden melancholy mulch from the former Suede frontman grates from the instant he starts his clumsy lyrical assault of love lorn woe. Love Is Dead. Boohoo.

This is a pity as I like Brett Anderson's voice, married to the Ziggy rock of Suede in their full pomp the had some great cuts from Metal Mickey even through to their lesser days towards the end of the nineties.

The musical backing here is by numbers adult pop, spare drums, big strings, gentle guitar and a watery melody that's washed in from George Michael's Older.

His reunion with Butler last year in The Tears brought together the ingredients of Suede in diet form and this is even less essential, a piss poor ballad and a wasted oppurtunity to remould his career in a similar way to Jarvis Cocker.

Out next week.

poo, I was kinda hoping this would be Ok.

The Tears stuff was alright, but of course there is a rumour that suede will be doing something again, with butler too.

christ knows what that'll churn out.... maybe they should just sit back and count the money.

He was better when his lover only came in a Volvo.

fuck no.

Dodgy David Bowie impressionist meets half hearted Divine Comedy rip off style backing vocals, this is awful.

The lyrics are awful.

Im off to listen to Beautiful Ones.

Suede began and ended with Animal Nitrate.
