4.0 out of 5 stars Yeah, yeah, yeah., June 6, 2001

COMING UP is the third album released by Suede and the first one to be recorded completely without their original guitarist, Bernard Butler. It's a lot more glam, a lot louder and a lot more fun than their albums that came before it. Unlike the mostly soulful music that they had been producing up to this point, this CD would be quite at home playing on your car stereo on the way to a trashy club or a disco. It's not dancing music, but it's definitely party music.

The music is intense and noisy. The lyrics are rhythmic and effective. It combines the right amounts of David Bowie and T. Rex while still managing to drag the remains of the previous Suede kicking and screaming into the mix. It's fast in all the right places and slow when it needs to be. Brett Anderson has a real knack for creating lyrics that sound like they were born out of the music rather than just being tacked on afterwards. The result is that his voice almost sounds like another musical instrument at times rather than just a vessel to deposit words in. It's just icing on the cake that the words he has come up with are wonderful at describing the various scenes of alternating decadence and depravity.

It's bubble-gum, it's loud, it's dirty and it's wonderful. Very few bands could get away with writing fun songs about drug-addicted ravers and teenagers sniffing glue, but Suede succeeds with flying colours. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bouncing back with Coming Up, May 23, 2000

A fantastic return to form from a fantastic band! With this album, Suede proved all their detractors wrong and simply blew away the critics by producing ten of the best rock/pop tracks for years. The singles from the album speak for themselves - the glorious, dewy-eyed 'Trash', the melancholy 'Saturday Night', the glam-tastic 'Film Star' and the utterly unmatched 'Beautiful Ones' - with tracks like these, the album almost sounds like a Best Of.

Lyrically, Brett reaches a peak here, culminating in the superb poetry of 'Beautiful Ones' ('cracked up, stacked up, twenty-two, psycho for sex and glue, lost it to Bostik') in which all the images and ideas of the last two albums are perfectly sharpened and distilled.

Coming Up also showcases the musical ability of nineteen-year-old Richard Oakes, who coolly brushes aside the guitar-hero posturing of Bernard Butler to bring about a tighter, pared-down sound focusing on songs rather than solos and injecting the band with a new energy.

Never has a band faced such adversity and bounced back so convincingly. Suede are heroes.
