Suede: “The Wild Ones” (Nude)

The only thing that saves this overblown farce is the understated and anti-melodic guitar playing of Bernard Butler. ‘The Wild Ones’ is infantile and ultimately meaningless, with a calculated teeny-bopper yearning, and even the orchestral arrangements of Brian Gascoigne, of Scott Walker’s Climate of Hunter fame, can’t save it. About as wild as a storm in a tea cup.
