Brett Anderson does have a set of his peculiar points he does discuss from Suede on, his soundscapes follow that. However, Slow Attack was his attempt to broaden his sound and I regret he didn't achieve more of that in his solo career. Then again, Suede remained a strong signature connected with his name – that might be one of the reasons their reunion happened –, but we mustn't forget his group continues to be one of the more interesting ones in the style they established. Thus, Slow Attack shows the ethos of what the collective was at one point, until the hype of the their genre's usurpers delegated them to also-rans. Nonetheless, this is not a showy record, Anderson also gained a lot of patience on his own.
