Who Knew?

Review of Suede: The Insatiable Ones (2018) by sophiemac: 👍 7.0/10

Suede sort of passed me by on the whole. I knew a lot of people who liked them; I was aware of most of their singles, but did ever feel moved enough to buy an album. That all meant I was unaware of the story of the band until today. I knew the basics, like Bernard Butler leaving, but I had no idea about how they plucked Richard from obscurity or any of the rest of it. And it was interesting and good to see that Brett Anderson isn't quite the person I thought he was, which isn't surprising, I suppose, as I only know him through headline quotes in the NME and newspapers. But still, I did think he was an entirely different animal.
