ReviewsUncut (p.96) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A]s well as the adolescent frenzy, there was a yearning quality in Butler's playing that stirred Anderson to the band's highpoint, 'The Wild Ones'..." Record Collector (magazine) (p.96) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his set collects some of the finest moments of 90s British indie..." Clash (Magazine) - "[T]hese songs -- 'Animal Nitrate', 'The Wild Ones', 'Beautiful Ones' -- still sound as vital and invigorating as the first time you heard them."

Additional informationUnlike Suede's previous comp The Singles, 2010's The Best of Suede doesn't purport to include all the band's A-sides. Instead, it's a good, old-fashioned "best of," a cherrypicking of the group's greatest cuts conducted by Brett Anderson himself. Unlike some artists, Anderson shows a keen ear for the band's very best, selecting the same singles, B-sides, and album tracks their devotees would, downplaying the band's slow fade in favor of their first three albums and accompanying singles. The Best of Suede doesn't follow a strict chronological sequence -- occasionally tunes from the same album are grouped together, as when a clutch of Dog Man Star epics close the 35-track set -- but Anderson manages to give this double-disc set an elegant flow that showcases Suede in all their tragic romantic glory. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
