5.0 out of 5 stars Another Masterpiece, October 8, 2002

Once again Suede have proven that their B-sides are better than most bands A-sides. Positivity is brimming with incredible musicianship. This is song writing as it ought to be. This is a catchy, light, and fun first single of the new CD "A New Morning", which is already a classic if you have managed to find a copy of it, and it is a must have. Both CD-1 and CD-2 contain 2 new tracks that are not on the new CD but are brilliant and are must haves. Enjoy!

Well, I was vain enough to think folks would read what I had to say about "Postivity" CD1, so why not CD2? You can go there for my opinion on the A-side, but for the B-sides:

"Superstar" - An odd one. The opening is almost like A NEW MORNING sneering at HEADMUSIC. And there is almost something `70s FM about the chorus. I dunno. To be honest, with that title, I could easily have seen this being another Suede stormer (a la "Filmstar") or a dark ballad ("My Dark Star" or "Popstar"). Instead, there is something sweet about it. And the musical sweep is somewhat reminiscent of middle period Suede Mark 1. I could hear this on the STAY TOGETHER ep.

"Cheap" - this one is my favorite, I think. I love the piano riff that dominates the track, and the oddball vocal effects remind me of some of the COMING UP b-sides. Lyrically, it's got some of that Brett Anderson simultaneous glorification and tearing down of the gutterati. It just strikes me instantly.

All in all, I am definitely warmed up for the new album. Don't sell this band short. They will always surprise you.
