A masterpiece of melodrama, with all the frills, trills and shrills one would expect from these elegant, extravagant Brit-poppers. Singer Brett Anderson prances and pouts coquettishly through "Trash" (as glammy as the New York Dolls tune that goes by the same title), the ballsy "Filmstar" (yes, Suede do have balls), the gorgeously fragile "Picnic By The Motorway" and seven other pompous, pretentious and utterly magical tunes that somehow combine orchestral grandeur with glam-rock grit.
