    Honestly, his album is awful. "...slowly we become one / We stick like chewing gum." It's laughable.

    This is the album with the vision... In this boring age with all the one-time-use xerox-bands, A+B offer something a little bit more sophisticated... Homer Simpson would say: "Well, it's like a donut. The fluffy dough of the Wall of Sound contains the marmalade of the pure rock."

    Not a bad song on this CD. It (no shock) sounds a lot like how you expect Bernard and Brett's reunion would. Very good 3 minute pop songs mixed with some beautiful ballads. Brett's vioce sounds nicer than the last Suede album as well.

    Excellent Record, sure to be one of the records of the year. Not a bad track on it, and if you are not moved by tracks like 'Ghost of you', 'Apollo 13' and 'A love as strong as death' then you don't have a pulse.. 10/10

    I confess to not being all that impressed with the first song, 'Refugees', but the rest of the album really took me in. The thrill of hearing Brett singing along to Bernard's guitar-playing was palpable. I got to 'Lovers', and was pleased to find that the song-writing chops are back on form, then 'Appollo 13' came on and blew my mind.

'Here Come the Tears' is a much happier, more positive album than either 'Suede' or 'Dog Man Star'. Knowing B&B's thoughtful approach to making music, I am certain this is intentional. If you have daydreamed about Brett and Bernard getting back together, you probably already own this disc. If you are a more casual fan of the band, buy it. I doubt you'll be disappointed.… Expand

    Being an avid fan of Suede, I was truly disappointed by this album. There's an ever-present anxiety of both Butler and Anderson to shout "we're back" throughout the songs, either by too much guitar or/and strenuous attempts to actually sing respectively. Four or five songs (refugees, imperfection, creatures) might stand side to side with some of their worse b-sides of the past, Being an avid fan of Suede, I was truly disappointed by this album.

Four or five songs (refugees, imperfection, creatures) might stand side to side with some of their worse b-sides of the past, but that's all. To me, this album signifies a totally unecessary reunion (the last Suede album was much better) and is something any self-respecting Suede fan should dismiss with no second thought.… Expand

    It is a good album, however it sounds nothing like Dog Star Man, and I can't help but be amazed at hearing people say it does. Soaring tunes with meaningless lyrics - it sounds like the stuff of Bernard Butler's solo albums enlarged. It has nothing of the gritty, glam feel of Dog Star Man - instead it produces uplifting pop ballads which are gorgeous, but nonetheless entirely It is a good album, however it sounds nothing like Dog Star Man, and I can't help but be amazed at hearing people say it does.

It has nothing of the gritty, glam feel of Dog Star Man - instead it produces uplifting pop ballads which are gorgeous, but nonetheless entirely forgetable. It just doesn't measure up to any of the first three Suede albums. I would however give it an 8 (it is pretty to listen to) if it wasn't for the unbelievably 'throw away' lyrics. The bad lyrics wouldn't be so much of a deal, but Brett makes every word of them perfectly clear - you can't just lose yourself in the sound as you can with Supergrass's Road to Rouen - instead you are forced to listen to painfully bad lines like "we stick like chewing gum."… Expand

    This is a very enjoyable album, closer to Head Music than to Dog Man Star. It grows on you with every listen. I don't understand the hesitant 3 star ratings in MOJO, Uncut or Q - it's one of the best records of the year - so far

    Better than the last 3 Suede albums, this much is for certain. 'Apollo 13' and 'Fallen Idol' rank among the pairs best work. Be sure to hunt down instant-classic b-sides like 'Break Away', as well.

    As a whole, 'Here Come The Tears' is a welcome collection of songs, even if the sentiment of it all does become a little saccharine-queasy after a while.

    Here Come The Tears sounds like the best album that Suede never made, full of romantic, smouldering pop songs with a soaring depth to them.

    It is raw, emotionally stirring, and the best album you’ll hear this year, by a mile.
