The underrated gem of Anderson's solo career. For better or worse, everything he does will always be compared to early Suede, which is hard to hold a candle to. But this album is nothing like that band--rather than seedy sex, drugs, and dark romanticism, Slow Attack is very pastoral, even serene at times, and even when it sounds a bit darker/more minor key, it still has a sort of lightness about it. But it is really an excellent record. And though there are some very solid individual songs on the album, it really works best as a whole, listened to straight through. It is much less a singles album or a collection of songs than it is a suite. Very recommended.
