Sobre el álbum
La discografía de Suede irrumpe en la escena musical británica con un álbum debut que fue precedido por un nivel de expectación sin precedentes por parte de la prensa. Antes de que el disco saliera a la venta, la banda ya era aclamada como "La Mejor Nueva Banda de Gran Bretaña". Este trabajo tenía la monumental tarea de estar a la altura de las expectativas, y lo logró con creces.
El álbum presenta un sonido de glam rock oscuro y decadente, lleno de una sexualidad ambigua y un romanticismo sucio que lo distinguía por completo del sonido grunge que dominaba la época. La combinación de la dramática y andrógina voz de Brett Anderson con las innovadoras y afiladas guitarras de Bernard Butler creó una de las asociaciones más icónicas del rock británico.
Desde el primer single, "The Drowners", hasta el himno generacional "Animal Nitrate", el disco es una colección de canciones potentes y memorables. Baladas como "The Next Life" muestran una vulnerabilidad conmovedora. Indudablemente, la biografía de Suede comienza aquí, con un álbum que no solo fue un éxito comercial masivo, sino que también es considerado el pistoletazo de salida del movimiento Britpop de los años 90.

Letra
shame on me well I had the beast you see and if he can take it I can take him home with me shame on her she's a lovely little number and when we go lassoing you get lassoed, all of you If you can take it, I can take it And we're moving, so moving, so we are a boy, we are a girl so moving, so moving... shame on the girl, she's got a big black dog in her and while tough kids sing about tough kids she just skins the world we'll never never play the harp, and we'll stick like sick on the stars and if you can take it I can take these stones from my heart if you can take it, I can take it and we're moving, so moving, so we are a boy we are a girl so moving, so moving....

Letra
I was born as a pantomine horse ugly as the sun when he falls to the floor I was cut from the wreckage one day this is what I get for being that way Well did you ever, did you ever go round with them? Well did you ever, did you ever go round the bend? I was conned by a circus hand Tragic as the son of a superman "I would die for the stars" she said This is what I get for my beautiful head Well did you ever, did you ever go round with them? well did you ever, did you ever go round the bend? ...ever tired it that way, have you ever tried it that way? - The Drowners4:10

Won't someone give me a gun? oh well it's for my brother well he writes the line wrote down my spine It says "Oh do you believe in love there?" So slow down, slow down, you're taking me over And so we drown, sir we drown, stop taking me over Won't someone give me some fun? (and as the skin flies all around us) We kiss in his room to a popular tune Oh, real drowners slow down, slow down, you're taking me over And so we drown, sir we drown, stop takin' me over! - Sleeping Pills3:50
Letra
Angel, don't take those sleeping pills, you don't need them Though it's just time they kill Angel, give me your sleeping pills, you don't need them Give me the time they kill You're a water sign, I'm an air sign Gone gone to Valium, can you get me some? You're a water sign, and I'm an air sign Too Siamese to catch the leaves from those trees Angel, don't take those sleeping pills, you don't need them though it's just time they kill you're a water sign, I"m an air sign Pumped up with Valium, could you get me some? You're a water sign, I'm an air sign With sweet F.A. to do today, with sweet F.A. to do today... ...Angel, don't take those sleeping pills - Breakdown6:02
Letra
Back where the dogs bark where still life bleeds the concrete white try not to go too far inside your mind back where the cars decide where the lame star limps an endless mile have I gone too far inside my mind? oh if you were the one would I even notice now my mind has gone? oh if you were the one, would I even notice? Back where the car was parked Where the canine in the A-line stole your time you can only go so far for womankind oh if you were the one, would I even notice now that he has come? oh, if you were the one, would I even notice? Does your love only come, does your love only come, does he only come in a Volvo? - Metal Mickey3:27
well she's show showing it off then the glitter in her lovely eyes show show showing it off then and all the people shake their money in time she sells heart, she sells meat oh dad, she's driving me mad, come see we shake shake to the trumpet and through the slippery city we ride skyline swine on the circuit where all the people shake their money in time she sells heart, she sells meat oh dad, she's driving me mad, come see - Animal Lover4:17
Letra
I see you're moving, see you're moving, moving in with her You'll pierce your right ear, pierce your heart there This skinny boy is one of the girls cos around my neck and around her neck hangs everything you are I know you've been inside but what were you in for? Animal lover, animal lover, animal lover? I see you're moving, see you're moving like wildlife from the waist But when your name's scratched in on a shiny ring your waist is my resting place And around my neck and around her neck hangs everything you are I know you've been inside but what were you in for? Animal lover, animal lover, animal lover? - The Next Life3:32
