Amazon.co.uk Review
Supergrass may be the unluckiest band to come out of the Britpop wave of the early 1990s. Their first album, I Should Coco, saw the trio typecast as a cartoon Indie boy band, propelled to stardom by the adolescent hi-jinks of "Feel Alright" and "Caught By The Fuzz". Unfortunately, this tag proved rather difficult to shake and as their music matured, their audience dwindled; their second album In It For The Money was released to critical esteem and consumer indifference. By the time Supergrass was released in 1999, Supergrass had already been relegated to the "Oh yeah, I remember those guys" category of pop. What a shame, because Supergrass is at least as good as In It For The Money and that album was fantastic. Flaunting their 70s-rock influences proudly, Supergrass continue to sound like the world's greatest garage band with a sackful of studio toys. These guys know what makes a good pop song: "Pumping On Your Stereo" is practically shouting out for an audience of handclaps, while "Shotover Hill" makes use of that oft-neglected instrument, the kettle drum. With Supergrass, the boys have again demonstrated how much they've grown up. Pop music, yes, but definitely not kid's stuff. --Robert Burrow

Customer Reviews

Excellent from beginning to end
This is one of those albums that you can listen to over and over without tiring of it, and never want to skip a track. I love 'In It For The Money' too, but I think Supergrass is evolving and this album is, if possible, even better. I love the way it changes in mood from song to song, some really lively and rocky, others slower, or darker, weird and more introspective, and my favourite thing of all about the Supergrass sound is the way a sudden key change can wash over you like a burst of joyful sunlight and really make you feel elated, something many rock bands never achieve. Definitely one of my favourite albums ever.

Supergrass are quickly becoming one of my favourite bands
Supergrass have struck a chord with me, ever since i heard caught by the fuss i have been hooked. Their albums have a tendency to draw you in with its use of practically any instrument they can lay their hands on. I should coco was a good start, in it for the money was unbelievable, and supergrass is breathtaking in every aspect, an album just as should be, 12 songs, no mesing, just good music. Hats off to them also managing to make it high in the charts, with , well i wouldnt even call them bands like steps and Blink 182(Hey m-a-n! look at us, we're a punk band y-e-a-h! )the music industry is very dark at the moment, but supergrass have doon a damn good job in getting recognised, and promoting Music as it should be, if you dont have any of their albums, surrender your credit card number to amazon now, you wont be dissapointed. I'll eat my hat if you disagree, which you won't.

One of the best albums ever?
i bought this cd a few years ago (99) when it was new i then almost only liked them singles but today i decided to listen to this great album from start to end. And Yeah it totall blew me away with its swinging giutars and bouncy bass
and distictive and very well timed smashing beats
and with and singing inspierd by mick jagger/Paul Mccartney/John Lennon/David Crosby all mixed together with rocking catchy songs like moving who starts of slow and breaks into a rocking beat and swinging giutar and the cool what went wrong with its cool piano parts following the giutar and drum from beginning to end this alvum has that bouncy/rocking feeling from some slower numbers too but still oh what a great album!
if you like 60's rock n roll like small faces byrds and beatles or rolling stones or early 90 britpop by the verve or blur.... you will like this album alot.
i sugesst you take you time listening to this smashing record like i did you'll be more suprised than you think
this is great!
