Dog Man Star

Product Information

Buller has said that Suede were rarely a unit in the studio during the album’s recording. Tensions between singer and guitarist were further frayed when Butler appeared on the cover of NME ’s sister magazine Vox , strapped with the words ‘Brett drives me insane’. Inside, he lamented, “[Brett] isn’t a musician at all. It’s very difficult for him to get around anything that isn’t ABC.” Anderson recalls reading the Vox interview the same morning he was recording the vocals for ‘The Asphalt World’. It served as unlikely inspiration for one of the singer’s career best performances. “I remember trying to channel all this hurt that I was feeling and the iciness I was feeling into the vocal,” he said. Butler walked out before the album was finished BONUS DVD FEATURE: BRETT ANDERSON AND BERNARD BUTLER 2011 INTERVIEW, INCLUDING FILM INSERTS BY SIMON GILBERT In November 2003, Suede released the compilation album Singles which included all 19 of their previously released singles, and also contained two new songs, " Attitude" (itself released as a single along with the non-album "Golden Gun" to promote the album) and "Love the Way You Love Me".

There’s a happy accident on ‘The Asphalt World’

Even at the height of Coming Up's success, Anderson repeatedly used one word to describe what had gone before: "Untouchable". And as the years went by Butler made digs that barely concealed the trauma he felt from never taking Dog Man Star to completion. It was the pain of never celebrating music that had been made with a fire that would never quite return, despite his far-reaching achievements, despite making records he was happier with.

Has time mellowed Brett’s view of Britpop? No. “ As soon as we became aware of it,” he recounted to The Guardian in 2013, “We went away and wrote ‘Dog Man Star’. You could not find a less Britpop record. It’s tortured, epic, extremely sexual and personal. None of those things apply to Britpop.” Brett took divine inspirationOsman later expressed he felt Butler's compositions were too experimental: "Lots of the musical ideas were too much. They were being rude to the listener: it was expecting too much of people to listen to them." [19] The arguments over "The Asphalt World" spilled over on to the rest of the album, as Butler became progressively more dissatisfied with Ed Buller's production. In a 2005 interview, the guitarist maintained his position on the matter, stating that Buller "made a terrible shoddy job of it". [21] Butler wanted Buller dismissed, allowing him to produce the record by himself. When the record was eventually released, it caused barely a ripple on the music scene; Blur and Oasis were already sharing the spotlight with Pulp. The only enthusiastic group seemed to be the critics, having found an excuse to write ‘sophomore slump’ on yet another review.
