Added DiffLines:

* EpicRiff: Several, including "The Drowners", "Metal Mickey", and "Animal Nitrate". Bernard Butler has said that "Animal Nitrate" was a deliberate attempt to write one, as he intended to write a riff with the same level of recognizability as "[[Music/{{Nirvana}} Smells Like Teen Spirit]]".

** Similarly, the fanbase is also broken over Richard Oakes. Some fans think
that it's this.
he is an underrated guitarist who ultimately gave the band a second life, while others think that he can't hold a candle to Bernard Butler's guitar or songwriting skills.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: The narrator of "Animal Nitrate" seems incredibly and insensitively frustrated that the target of the song is unable to be properly aroused despite that the fact that they've been sexually abused and suffer from stockholm syndrome and emotional trauma as a result.

* VindicatedByHistory: ''Dog Man Star'' did not sell as well as their debut album and received mixed reviews from critics, particularly in the United States. It has since become a fan favorite and has been reappraised by many critics in later years.

* MissingEpisode: The original 25 minute version of ''The Asphalt World'', which reportedly sounded so incredibly abrasive and nightmarish, Brett almost couldn’t sit through the whole thing. Producer Ed Buller trimmed the song down to the 9 minute cut on the finished album, drawing Bernard’s ire and contributed to his leaving of the band. An 11 minute edit surfaced on the Deluxe Edition years later, but the full uncut track has yet to surface

* NightmareFuel: "Animal Nitrate", a song with a dreary and aggressive (by britpop standards) guitar backing over exasperated and pained vocals, with cryptic lyrics that appear to describe a person being abused by a drug-addict and strongly desiring to be subjected to the same abusive sex after their abuser dies from an overdose.
* TearJerker:
** "She's Not Dead" was written about a woman and her black lover who commit suicide in order to escape the social stigma a mixed relationship would endure, and was inspired by the life of the singer's real aunt.

* AmericansHateTingle: {{Britpop}} as a genre never took off in the USA, but Suede in particular have been victims to this: not only were they denied the right to be called Suede in America, but during their 1994 tour, they were actually switched places with their opening act Music/TheCranberries.
