Album Capsules--Suede

Suede

Bloodsport

69/100

If you're a fan of Suede, perhaps you're a little bit leery of a comeback at this point.  After all, they're greatest hits have already come out.  So they're dead, right?  Bloodsport has plenty of solid, weighty, earnest album tracks, but nothing that really screams hit--nothing, in any case, that approaches "The Drowners," "Metal Mickey," or "Animal Lover."  The glam, for the most part, has melted away, leaving behind seriousness--and capable, well-made songs.  So, basically, this album will be a decent addition for Suede fans, but it isn't likely to create new ones.  Behold--"Barriers"!
