Review: Music to tingle the more spine chilling tendrils of your soul, this latest album by one of London's greatest ever bands, deliver a third and final instalment in a trilogy of LPs. It follows Bloodsport and Night Thoughts of 2013 and 2016 respectively, with this effort drawing on new adventures in field recordings, spoken word elements and choir. Romanticism and classical are abound too, like the dire classic that is "The Invisibles", helping bring the album to a reflective end, while others like "Life Is Golden" tenderly sways in waves of emotional support and melancholy. It is an cinematic listen through and through, with the Blair Witch beginnings of "Don't Be Afraid If Nobody Loves You" just the start.

Review: Far from being a band trapped in a nostalgic cul-de-sac redolent of their '90s origins, the return of Suede to the fray that began with 2010's reformation and continued with 2013's 'Bloodsports' has proven the band to be possessed of a chemistry and emotional heft that renders them as powerful now as ever they were. 'Night Thoughts' may be a less melodramatic and slightly more mature band dealing with the pressures of parenthood and the vagaries of modern life more than the youthful melodrama of yore, yet it's rich with melody, poise and melancholy enough to underline Suede's status as a veritable national treasure.
