Title: Contrived and boring.... mostly.
Review: There is no use comparing one album to another (i.e. this album is not as good a DogManStar). What's the point? Each album is individual and needs to be regarded on its own. Unfortunately, ANM is weak. For the most part, ANM seems contrived, cliched, and boring. There are a few tracks that are quite good (Lost in Space..etc) and some that surprise (..Morning); however, most are painful (all the singles so far and the awful When the Rain...). Personally, I'm fond of the song Streetlife. ANM is worth a listen, but do not expect too much. Listen to Suede's other albums - or treat yourself to one of last year's best albums: Pulp's We Love Life.
