Musical differences arose over "The Asphalt World". The final version on the album has a duration of 9:25, edited from a much longer recording. According to bass player Mat Osman, Butler's initial creation was a 25-minute piece with an eight-minute guitar solo. [19] However, according to Anderson, the composition was 18 minutes long, and was a pre-production recording featuring only guitar and drums, that was intended to be edited down.

I was so underwhelmed by it that I put it on my shelf to collect dust and I even intended on selling it. I thought it was boring. And way to over the top for its own good. Which is strange considering at the time I loved David Bowie and Roxy Music two artists that are over the top but I was just not buying what Anderson was selling. Well over a year has passed and I thought I would give Dog Man Star another go. Well its grown on me.....alot.

I never listened to it at the time, and I can't quite muster the interest now. It's hard to want to engage with a record when the people who made it have pretty much told you they wish they hadn't have bothered. So I think I'll let the old mind drift…Let’s be honest, Edsel were probably regretting putting quite so much content on their 2011 deluxe reissue of Suede‘s 1994 album Dog Man Star when they sat down to discuss a possible 20th anniversary set only a few years down the line. Bereavement and clashes over the album's producer heightened the tension and, with just one part to complete on the album, Butler walked out for good. Suddenly, having blazed the trail for Britpop, they returned with an album deemed out of step with its sunny positivism. Gerard, Chris (4 April 2014). "50 Best Alternative Albums of the '90s".

And, if things weren’t bad enough, Suede’s star was beginning to fall as a little-known band called Blur was running away with the Britpop crown with their smash 1994 record, Parklife. It was especially damaging as Anderson’s girlfriend, Justine Frischmann of Elastica fame had recently left him for Blur’s Damon Albarn. Butler seemed to antagonise his bandmates when he appeared on the front cover of Vox magazine under the tag line "Brett drives me insane." [17] In a rare interview, in that he only ever would do press interviews on the pretext it was about guitars, he said of Anderson: "He's not a musician at all. It's very difficult for him to get around anything that isn't ABC." [17] A despondent Anderson remembers reading the article the same morning he was recording the vocals for "The Asphalt World": "I remember trying to channel all this hurt that I was feeling and the iciness I was feeling into the vocal." [18] Butler later apologised to Anderson over the incident. Martell, Nevin (13 April 2011). "Brett Anderson and Mat Osman on Suede's Discography". Filter . Retrieved 26 July 2013. Considered by many to be their masterpiece, the album was the last to feature guitarist Bernard Butler who left as the album was being mixed.
