This Suede title is a real crisis for me... in a first-world-problems sort of way.
Just yesterday I said I’m all in with these releases. I’ve taken some chances with the prior releases and found I really enjoyed them. Shakespears Sister was the only one that was really borderline for me.
This one, though? Listening to it this morning, there’s nothing I like about it. Doesn’t mean it’s not a great album, just completely not my thing.
So do I buy it because I’ve bought the others (which is illogically as valid a reason as any reason) or do I finally tell myself it’s OK not to have a full collection of something and break the grip this series has had on me?
If this had been a “X-number only and then they’re gone” sort of thing like we were expecting, I would have passed so others who love this album had the chance to get a very limited number. But with a window for ordering I now get to change my mind a million times.
Still, kudos to Paul for this title. From what I’m seeing elsewhere, it’s a title that many people are excited about. And another Steven Wilson mix. So it looks like another winner for the series which I’m truly happy to see.
