SUEDE レコード& CD

Review: Suede's Dog Man Star marks its 30th anniversary with a stunning triple CD deluxe edition that reaffirms the album's iconic status. Originally released in 1994, this album is widely regarded as Suede's most ambitious and sonically adventurous work, blending sweeping orchestral arrangements with gritty glam rock and haunting ballads. The new edition is beautifully presented in a 7"X7" deluxe gatefold package, designed by Paul Khera, and features insightful new sleeve notes by Simon Price. The first disc contains the original album, including standout singles like 'We Are The Pigs,' 'The Wild Ones,' and 'New Generation.' The second disc is packed with B-sides and the extended version of 'Stay Together,' a non-album single that remains a fan favorite. The third disc offers bonus tracks and rarities, providing a deeper glimpse into the band's creative process during this period. Dog Man Star was the last Suede album to feature guitarist Bernard Butler, and his influence is evident in the album's expansive sound. This anniversary edition is great for fans and a fitting tribute to a truly extraordinary record.
