Indeed. I think I will be initially disappointed when I hear the new stuff (I, like hundreds of thousands of other fans will as you said be expecting Suede Mark II) - but I hope to get over that and take it (enjoy it?) as a seperate piece of work.
Some of their songs together are just incredible - virtually ALL albums 1 & 2 and the accompanying b-sides ('The Living Dead' in particular) are close to songwriting perfection for me.
Waiting with baited breath...
