Really??? Wow, no offense, but the first time I heard that I thought, "ah, so Suede have succumbed to releasing their half-finished songs as b-sides now", and my opinion has become less favorable in the years since..

Anyway, since you asked:

01. My Dark Star
02. So Young
03. High Rising
04. The Asphalt World
05. Shipbuilding
06. This World Needs A Father
07. The Wild Ones
08. Pantomime Horse
09. Another No-One
10. Daddy's Speeding

Heh. I find it incredibly addictive and somewhat uplifting. No doubt I'll tire of it sooner or later, as I do with everything.

In response to your list: High rising, Asphalt World and Daddy's speeding bore me. I usually skip daddy's speeding, actually. Which is rare for me (I don't tend to skip songs)

Still, each to their own, eh?

Money's got phenomenal guitar playing. It's not Suede's best b-side, but I think it's great.

True, that... those songs remind me strongly of autumn '94, lying in bed, taking Dog Man Star in (and at the same time I'd bought the USA version of Stay Together with all those amazing b-sides)... it really knocked me off my feet, that album, and it's still in my top3 records of all time to this day.

Daddy's Speeding did take me the longest to like, mind... at first I thought it was dull. The Asphalt World put a spell on me on first listen.

The album also was directly responsible for something I'd never seen before or since: a journalist apologising after an unfavorable review. This guy, from Dutch magazine Watt, completely trashed DMS when it came out, calling Brett Anderson a depressive dictator. Two or three months later he reviewed the New Generation single, and he came out and said he'd been totally wrong and the album's a masterpiece.
