So you're blaming us for not laughing at a misguided "joke" based on complete ignorance and incorrect information?
I'm going to take a #2 on Boxer in retaliation.
I understood and appreciated the joke immediately upon reading it, for the record.
There are quite a few on that list that I was tempted to add, but they just werent quite there. Dog Man Star in particular. I loved that album, but there were a few tracks that didnt quite do it for me. I'm surprised you included Coming Up. I remember being quite disappointed with it. A few really catch tunes, but nothing with the gravitas of Dog Man Star
Well, I judge albums by cohesivity, flow and how good the damn songs are. I don't care that much about lyrics.
Dog Man Star happens to be an example of an album that flows perfectly. And all songs are good to me, at least. And it also happens to have the best closer ever on an album. Coming Up is Suede's "pop" album. Full of catchy as hell stuff, no song on the album is weak and they're all very well crafted songs making the album something really good to listen in its entirely.
All IMO, of course.
