I Should Coco

Supergrass kenne ich natürlich mit dem Superhit "Alright" Das habe ich damals rauf und runter gespielt. Jetzt das ganze Album dazu. Schnörkelloser, unbekümmerter Britrockpop, nie langweilig und sehr eingängige Melodien. Herausragend "Sofa of the Lethargy" und "Time to go"

3.5

Before moving over here, I'd always assumed Supergrass were a one-hit wonder. "Alright" was a hit back home but I don't remember any of their other songs making it across the Atlantic. After listening to this, I find that fucking crazy. This album is brilliant. It would have been well received by me & my mates in the post-grunge mid-90s. I'm 100% certain we all would have loved this shit. In fairness, it still sounds awesome today. "Lose It" and "Lenny" are a great 1-2 punch that are in stark contrast to the genetic pop sound of "Alright". "Time" is my favourite song on the album. The long outro on "Sofa" reminds me of something The Doors would produce. And ending with "Time to Go" made listening to this from start to finish feel worthwhile; the way the band probably intended. "I Should Coco" is as good as anything I've heard from the Brit Pop era. This is a complete album. Supergrass are not the band I thought they were. Holy shit. 👍👍✌️❤️

Listened twice. Didn’t hate it but couldn’t really find anything exciting about it

High energy album with a lot of cool riffs.

Lightweight 90’s britpop

Alright is alright. The rest of this is too noisy for me. They are trying to be punk, but this is closer to frat rock. I really enjoyed the part where it got quiet, once I turned it off.

If Green Day were from the UK

Enjoyed this

Alright - das Album ist ok.

Unique, interesting.

Surprisingly good. High energy fast paced music, and a hint of Beatles so you don't have too much fun. Liked Lose It the most

some good songs, some miserable

I was very pleasantly surprised.

I like the song Alright. Otherwise it was fine.

This is a great debut album and it has an energetic feel. Of course, Alright is an all- timer.

A pretty good album. Starts off really hot and only has a couple breaks, but they are all alright. I wouldn't personally call this something too special but it has got some great songs on it

Awful

3.3/5 Best Track: Alright

Super good album, I'm not sure why I missed these guys the first time around. Excellent musicality, some reminiscent refrains but still original.

I loved this. I thought I would hate it because the cover art is trash and I HATE the song ‘Alright’… but it turns out that’s the only bad song on the whole album. I had no idea what genre it would be and I was not expecting it to be my taste. I added almost every song to my playlist. Amazing.

When this album came up I wondered how many dessert/stoner rock bands were mad a brit pop band took this name. I listened to this album 3 times.

Fun

It was ALRIGHT

Similar style of songs, all songs I think are British punk/pop mix similar to the clash another punk band, although they are a recent band, their music sounds like it was written 30 years ago which I think is a good thing. The only criticism I have with this album is they all sound pretty similar or almost the same, with the same tempo. Another small thing is I’m not a fan of this type of music but some of the songs give me memories from when I was younger which adds a lot of kudos. The most popular song on the album Alright, is undoubtedly the best in my opinion, mainly from the childhood nostalgia and the upbeat melody. Another thing I like about this album is the versatility between songs, for example some songs are upbeat and then on the contrast the others are more punk/rock sounding. Overall a big fan of the album

The opening track of this album, I'd like to know is a great song with good vocals and an interesting production. but the album rarely hits the heights that it hit on the first song. Much of the album is very guitar-heavy and extremely repetitive. There are some highs, such as the hit song Alright, but the album becomes slightly boring because of the repetitiousness. Overall, the album is a good listen, but few songs stick out. A good album, not a great one.

I know the name Supergrass, but I'm not sure if I know any of their songs. Jk I totally know "Alright" - great tune! This is a really fun album!

I'm not really digging it. It sounds like a group trying to meld punk with 60's beach music (at times). Some songs are listenable, but in general, It's just not working for me.

A lot different influences here. I have listened to some other super grass albums but never this one.

Maybe it's because of the string of albums that I've drawn this week, but another album that was fine, had a few moments - but nothing I would classify as being an album that I needed to hear before I died... Apparently the Supergrass genre is Britpop/Alternative - but short get-to-the-point songs is what this album contains - which again, was fine - but nothing earthshattering for certain... Best songs IMO were "Lose It" & "Lenny" early in the album, and "Time" & "Sofa Of My Lethargy" near the end of the album... At 6-minutes, "Sofa" is the only one that really stood out as a bit different than the others - plus like that song title - so there's that...

Not bad, bit punkier than I expected in places. I still don't really like them overall and I'm not sure why. Extra star for great album title.

It’s alright.

Not doing very well at keeping up with my reviews. Perky was just what I needed on a rainy grey commute to work.

I find this album… mildly obnoxious. The jam at the end of “Sofa of My Lethargy” is kinda nice though.

Pleasant enough, never heard of them before

Fun vibes but I had never heard any of it.

It’s fast, but I didn’t like it very much except a few of the final songs like the couch one which had a good vibe. two because I didn’t actively dislike it, just didn’t like it. It’s drummer gets a serious work out playing this live.

Mid 90's Brit rock. I can see where these guys gave birth to the Arctic Monkeys, Radio 4, and the like. Not exactly my cup of tea, as it gets kinda noisy and samey by the end of the album. But it's a solid enough rocker. Unexpected banger: Sofa (Of My Lethargy)

cool.

Not bad. Not great

I liked this? Especially side B. Where was this playing when I was a tween.

Better than I remembered. Very Kinksy feel to it.

Strong surfer rock vibes from "I'd like to know." Overall a fun, high energy album, but I'm not sure why it's on the list. Highlights: Alright (I loved this song!)

Britpop punk. Un megahit. Un 4.

I had not heard of this band, however, I seem to remember hearing “Alright” before. Anyway, really enjoyed the entire album.

Upbeat listening. It's the kind of music I'd expect to hear at the pub.

Never heard of this before. I liked it. Good energy on most of the songs although I don't remember a whole lot anymore. Might need to give it a second listen. Will I listen to again: 50%

Early 90s Brit alt-rock/pop in a nutshell.

Better than expected.

Alright was fantastic, enjoyed the rest. Should be more well known

Pretty energetic, some good tracks

never heard this before, not really a fan of it.

I Should Coco is collection of fun, catchy pop songs, which are done in a variety of styles. This was Supergrass's first album, and the members were all teenagers when the album recorded. These songs are teenage anthems - celebrations of the joy and frustration of youth. That said, these songs are not juvenile or simplistic. The songs are interesting and varied, showing the band's wide range of influences and surprising range.

Ok

Very interesting and fun.

Sing-song rock ‘n’ roll – ‘Beatlesque’

Natuurlijk bekend van "Alright". Ik ken de band zelf verder niet, maar lekker album. 4/5.

Alright, Alright, Alright

Kann man hören, für mich sticht aber auch nichts heraus.

Very upbeat, pleasant and fun rock music

Meh.

Vermakelijk, en diverse nummers

Overall -this sounds a lot earlier than 1995, like new wave, I dig that -it’s a lot grungier and punk than I was expecting -they sound like the clash to me kinda? -I feel like they are really putting on a British accent, this ain’t even an Oxford accent -Time is prolly my favorite I’d Like to Know -Oh the guitar fucks -they sound like a specific song I’ve heard before Mansize Rooster -yes yes yes -damn they blended so many genres in this one song Alright -OH -this is the song I was thinking of before -oh the guitar fucks soooo hard Lose It -the guitar solo reminds me of Greta Lenny -guitar of course fucks but the bass is also slapping Strange Ones -the riff sounds so similar -I really like the tempo changes -Oooooo a bluesy as fuck guitar solo Sitting Up Straight -I like the riff -it’s giving Ok Go -I wish the guitar line was cleaner She’s so loose -the acoustic is real nice choice -this feels like hotel California or just the eagles meet RHCP we’re not supposed to -huh, ok -did they ever perform this live Time -I would scale a wall for this riff -oh sick, it got even better. Love the bluesy influence -oh I fucking love this Sofa -it’s giving Allman Bros / CCR meets Oasis Time to Go -the back half of the album is def a lot more blues -reminds me of how Greta closed out the Starcatcher album with “Farewell for Now” as a love letter to fans

Proto-punk Very typical

Twee British Chumbawumba-ass one-hit album

I'm pretty excited to see some britpop in here, but this one is One Gigantic Song and a bunch of okay songs.

Not bad

Really fun

This was great! I was familiar with Alright, but didn't know anything else on the album or recall any familiarity with the band name. Super solid album, with some clear influences. I particularly enjoyed Sofa (Of My Lethargy) which spans several decads of style, but I particularly love the Sgt. Pepper-like sections. I'll probably listen to this again.

Subtle werewolves

What a great album that I never thought to check out in the 90s! I knew "Alright" but that was about it!

Nothing special. Very mid. 2.5/5

Nothing specific to say about this album;

Rock

Britpop!!!!! :)

I didn't know this album but enjoyed it to a point.

Didn’t finish it. Better than some of the other similar albums.

Very good. British indie pop. 1 song I knew. Listened to whole thing.

Meh

Never heard of these guys. Not bad but one song sounded like it was sung by Alvin and the Chipmunks.

It was ok.

Came in with very low expectations but ended up liking a song or two. Got some good 90s angst

Will be returning to not only this album but I'll be exploring their discography to see what else I'm missing! Great energy, great lp! Added at least 7 tracks to our 1001 experience playlist

Uma boa experiência pra quem não conhecia muito mais do que Alright do Supergrass. Lembro de ter ouvido as músicas deles lá pros meus 16 anos e não me pegou muito. Mas hoje, achei divertido, barulhento, proto-punk, irreverente (gosto disso tudo, no caso). Tem muita coisa legal sobre esse disco. Tive um bom momento.

Once again it was quite enjoyable. I think it’s a low 4 for me again. I liked it maybe a bit more than the previous ones but I doubt I’ll listen to it again soon or check out the group more.

Quite average, didn't wow me but still decent.

Liked it didn’t love it. I would’ve loved it 20 years ago. Dug Lose It marine the most. Some of the others were catchy too but, I don’t know, a little forced? Maybe they loosened up and cleaned up in later albums.

It was a fun journey from where this started to where it ended up. I was a little worried at first when it felt like Gene Belcher joined the guys who got kicked out of Green Day and Oasis, but warmed up to it pretty quickly and had fun throughout.

Enjoyed this one! Would give it a 3.5 in real life. Spoke to my 90s self. Bonus points because it has an iconic song from Clueless on it, so that was a pleasant surprise.

Prima, lekker beetje punky, maar te niksig voor mij :P 6/10

Energetic and fun album.

Heavier rock overtone characteristic of the 90s rock bands. The first half of the songs blend together into a nondescript multi-minute punk-twinged sound. Alright, Time, Sofa, and Sitting up Straight are distinctive with some more melodically driven or R&B.

This wave of britrock never grabbed me. It's fine, but I'll never listen to it again.

(Approx. 40 mins) Bops, punk and indie mashes with great instrumentals and a distinct sound and vocals. (6/10) Had no clue "Alright" was this band, good to know!

This has some bangers. Pretty fun, I guess I could come back to it... But Alright is definitely the stand-out here. Feels like a solid 3.5. Maybe room to grow, time will tell.

Alright

Very fun album. Not really my cup of tea though

not my style...

Excellent. Great 90’s rock

"How much dirty Britpop are you going to be?" "Yes, innit?" Don't think I had paid much attention to their debut before and it's probably going to annoy me a bit, but this will get a proper listen. For now, "She's So Loose" goes into my basket. Rating. I'm not keen on how aggressively snoty this all sounds, but... nice.

ahhhh i loved sm :D

This was a fun album to listen to. Definitely reeks of 90s British rock nostalgia.

Would Not open up.

Allright, dit bandje is meer dan dát nummer. Verrassender/technischer dan verwacht,mist soms wat gevoel

Super fun listen!!

I like British rock. Who knew?!

Un album de pop punk sympathique et entraînant, mais pas forcément le genre de choses que j'écouterais plus que ça, la voix principale n'étant pas à mon goût.

Ganske bra!

Surprised how much I liked it - maybe because I listened after the Buzzcocks, and anything sound great in comparison to them.

3.5/5

Beatles Buzzcocks world Party maybe some Neil Young. Very nice but A couple of duds.

Pretty good.

I thought it was going to be grungier like the Sex Pistols but was pleasantly surprised. Very fun guitar riffs, feels like the original/ British version of the late 90s/ 2000s misfits troupe.

This gets one star because I could barely get through one listening of the album and hope I never have to again. With the exception of “Time” every song pretty much sounded the same. I think that is because they are not very good on their selected instruments. Even their lead singer was lame. He has about a five note range and mostly yells into the mic. Terrible

Alright ist wahrscheinlich bekannt. Etwas freundlicher. Mischung zwischen Rock und Pop irgendwie...

Solid britpop album. Not my favorite genre but stills seems pretty ok.

A great indie rock? Album with sick punk vibes. Reminds me a lot of Pixies, great listen.

Variety is the spice of music, and this album is no exception. Most songs feel like a unique trip down the same few roads, which keeps things interesting and experimental. The mixing is pretty terrible and distracting on a few tracks, but overall things stay fun to listen to. Favorites are Alright, Lenny, and Time.

4.5/5 Great album. I personally enjoyed it. Every single track was amazing and it didn’t feel like I was listening to an album with filler songs. This is my first time listening to Supergrass and I’m glad this was recommended as I’ve now become a fan. Favorite Track: Caught By The Fuzz Least Favorite Track: We’re Not Supposed To

Haven’t heard of it. Rock from 1995. Quite energetic starting off. Quite enjoying. Energy maintains through the songs. Recognise Alright (and added to library). Have quite enjoyed on the whole and will add to library. Low 4.

LOVE this one! Definitely some good additions to my workout playlist.

OK! musste mich reinhören. Album wird zum Ende hin immer eingängiger, im positiven Sinne. "She's So Loose", "Time" und"Sofa" sind für mich echte Ohrwürmer.

It's a fine indie rock album. Most of it didn't click with me as the melodies, vocals, riffs nothing stood out that much. It all passes for a decent middle ground indie rock and that's it. I'd like to know starts things with a lot of energy but it meanders a bit in the end. Caught by the fuzz is great, I like the distortion, the chorus is catchy. Alright, the big single, is good too but apart from a really catchy melody I didn't really find it to be that amazing as well. I found the mellower cuts in the second half of the album more engaging. She's so loose is great, the strings really add a lot to the track. Not supposed to is great, very catchy, and those scattered vocals in the background that keeping coming in and out are really fun as well. Time is decent as well. It stagnates a bit and doesn't progress after a well. The main guitar riff gets a bit monotonous as well. The harmonica embellishments doesn't really do much as well for me. Sofa is the longest track on the album and is it just me or the main melody is straight up similar to norwegian wood by the beatles? Despite that the song is great, but it does hamper the listening experience a bit because it constantly just reminds me of the beatles song. Time to go is great well. It's a strong 2 to a light 3 for me. The middle section post alright and before loose just does not do much for me.

This was phenomenal. Really great energy and feel to all tracks. I'm very surprised I've never come across this group before apart from Alright...this is exactly down my alley. Favorite track: Lenny

Yet another british band. Not very memorable but had a few good songs. I think I already knew Alright. Stand-out: Strange Ones

Really fun.

Meh. Nothing music

The highs are this album are really really good, but there's enough boring songs on here that keep it at a four rather than a five, sadly. Maybe it'd be a five given some more time. My favourite songs were She's So Loose and Caught By The Fuzz.

I do like the songs "Alright" and "Time To Go" - nice melodies - the keys on Alright are a nice instrumental change-up and Time To Go is a great pace slowdown from the rest of the album but on the whole it is not in my wheelhouse

This has to be one of the worst album covers of all time. That transgression aside, this record is better than just about every other British alternative record I’ve encountered on this list thus far. It at least has some aggression…some chutzpah, if you will. They’re playing with a sense of urgency and reckless abandon unlike any of their mid-90’s British compatriots. That album cover is absolutely terrible, though… the dog’s breakfast. Bad enough that I wouldn’t even consider buying this album if I saw it in the store without having heard the music. I guess that’s why they say not to judge a book by its cover.

Vraiment pas de souvenir et c'est rédibitoire à partir de 1000 albums générés. Désolé les supergrass.

Supergass reviens nous baiser la gueule, gueule qui était sacrément en manque de baise depuis de nombreux mois, n'ayant eu droit qu'a 40mn de folie avec a-ha.

never heard of this band -love going into an album with no idea what the deal is -getting a groovy indie rock sort of feel here -i am liking the vibes of these first two songs -I KNOW THIS SONG -alright!!!! what a song!!!!! its such a fun tune -i am actually really loving these songs -this is an album that is perfect for me -genuinely i enjoyed every minute of this album which was So unexpected -i am giving this a solid 4 stars

Decent 90s punk/alternative fun

I had not heard of this band and I don't recall ever hearing any of their music, so I'm glad I've been introduced to them. Very cool album and I like their style. Nice weaving of many influences, and it just sounds like they are truly enjoying playing their songs.

Wow I loved this. Sad I haven’t been listening to it since 1995

This is the first one I might actually come back to: really fun. My highlights: "Sitting Up Straight" and "She's So Loose".

Perfect pop counter-culture but how was it so easy for them to record such an album and make it so digestible for 1990s mums and dads?

wow! what a great surprise! i knew the big song off of this one, but nothing else. to me this is like if oasis was primarily influenced by the kinks instead of the beatles. really fun, really eclectic, really frenetic. just an all around great, intense romp. kind of trails off at the end, but i think the rest of the album makes up for it.

I wasn't feeling for the first couple songs. It's a throwback to 60's rock, some psychedelic and some garage. But towards the middle they get a little heavier and it hits it's stride. Best Songs: Alright, Lose it Listen Again: Yes

Some nice bits, upbeat feeling

Really enjoyed the pop-punk sound. Underrated.

I liked it

Different sound - have never heard of these guys or this album before, but it's not bad at all.

I mean it's great, but essential listening?

I could see this one growing on me. Rating: 3.7

Great debut album, but feels like it gets more props as a really great debut then it does as a really great album, it's uneven and the highs are high but the lows are so forgettable

Perfectly fine album. Closer to 3.5 stars. Alright is a great track

This is energetic and pretty good. Everything is well polished. Very radio friendly Britpop. Not sure it belongs on this list but I do love the energy from the band.

Never heard of them but recognized a couple songs. Better than expected, Kinks vibe.

Awesome stuff. It's a shame they feel into the britpop trend as they're way more talented and unique than that

Another amazing album by supergrass. Loved it!

This album is sooo good

More Britpop!!! This album is more adventurous than I’ve noticed previously, but still mostly just okay. “Sitting Up Straight” was a standout track

Bra spel, inga bra låtar. Hört liknande tidigare

Yes another britpop album. Doesnt sound too offensive, but definitely not significant whatsoever. No one will miss out if they dont check it out. I dont rate album covers, because usually they are passable or good, but I gotta say, this is one ugly fucking cover. Might have been a 2, but -1 for cover xd. Significant 22/60 Liked 9/60 Added 2/60 NNN I Should Coco? More like I Will Cocommit unaliving if I have to listen to them again.

A cool album of alt rock/ britpop one know song which is a banger. Saved a few for playlists.

3.5

Started with a reading comprehension fail, as I thought this was going to be Supertramp. When it started i quickly realized my error, and the frenetic pace of the opening song was a bit worrying that this would be very experimental new wave kind of stuff that I'm not too keen on. All that aside the album quickly grew on me, really enjoyed Strange Things and had the Aha moment when Alright came on. Fun boisterous album, definitely would give it another go and see what else these guys have to offer.

I don’t ask for much. An OK voice, a snappy beat. That’s all I want. This album delivers that and more. A surprisingly fresh sound for an album that’s nearly 30 years old. This is definitely staying on my phone.

great album

Man I hear so many bands this album has probably influenced in here , I hear a bit of the mint chicks and lots of influence on modest mouse .

Godt

Sólo me gusta Sofa Of My Lethargy y Alright. Estilos distintos.

This was a fun album. Good.

Some strong tunes but sounds dated. Great for then, meh for now. 3.5/5

Solid alternative rock. Got the groove, got the random pitch squeals, got the chorus hooks. Like it.

Felt a bit scattered. Some good tunes but for a 40 minute album it dragged.

I love this record and this band. Their first 4 records belong in this list.

One of my favourite albums

Alright is a banger. The rest of this album is average

Hauska kokonaisuus. Hyvin laidasta laitaan biisejä, mutta yksikään ei jäänyt ärsyttämään. Kuuntelisin uudelleen, toimii lenkillä. Tosin keskittyy ajattelemaan ihan muuta kuin kuuntelua, eli hukkuu vähän taustamusiikiksi.

What’s this doing here? Holy hell. Absolute mediocrity.

Iha ok

En jaksanu loppuun asti

No

The first song is hard to get into the album, but if you heard it twice it's a banger. Loved it

I’d Like To Know // Caught By The Fuzz // Alright // Sitting Up Straight //

Solider Brit-rock; Teilweise sehr wild; Random Chipmunks song

Not bad, a bit dated but jolly music for the time

Poppy goodness! Pretty fun to hear "Alright" in the context of an album not a single scene in a film. Ultimately not my favorite style of music but this was a solid album.

fun all the way through

I really enjoyed this one! I thought that the music itself was all super fun, and I just liked the overall vibe. I was not expecting to know a song on this album, but there was "Alright." I am torn between 4 and 5 stars.

i knew the one song, tho am kinda surprised it's from 1995 and not like the early 2000s. the rest of the album was fine. 2.5

I liked time to go, so +1 star from my 2 stars for the rest of it

sure why not

Enjoyed this, the album flew by which I’m gonna say is a good thing

Funpunk

Pretty good. Not quite a 4

Superb album!

I wasn't expecting all too much from I Should Coco but I'm happy to say I'm pleasantly surprised with how good this album was. It was weird (weirder than most albums i have looked at) but it was high energy, and generally fun to listen to. I really enjoyed my time with this album. Best Song: Lose It Worst Song: Sofa (Of My Lethargy)

Honestly, somewhat forgettable. Might have been my mood but just flew on by

I enjoy the song Alright to some degree. Otherwise, and I don’t know if it’s the mood I’m in, but I find this album hard to listen to.

They’re alright

Þetta er allt í lagi en ég hef eiginlega aldrei fílað Supergrass þótt ég hafi gaman af svipuðu. Mun örugglega ekki hlusta á þessa plötu aftur en get alveg hlustað á Supergrass af og til og dillað mér í takt.

Ég hef aldrei fílað Supergrass neitt sérstaklega mikið. Hálft hús.

Another “did not finish” album

I'm starting to feel like this list has every single britpop album ever made on it. Oh well, at least this one's pretty good. I like it. After listening to quite a few pop-punk albums for this project, I'm still not entirely sure how to feel about it, but I will say that this album is basically the perfect blend of pop and punk. The whole tone and mood of this album is consistently great and very enjoyable, with the exception of We're Not Supposed To. I didn't like that song very much. Other than that one song, this album is quite good overall. The singing is good, and the instrumentals complement that singing quite well. It's probably the most British album I've listened to so far, but that's not really in a bad way. This is definitely a solid album, and I somewhat understand it's inclusion in this list. light 4/5.

Fun album!

I mean, it's not bad, but besides their superhit, it's rather bland. Feels like early 90s (hard) rock.

Surprisingly good. Much better than one of the other Supergrass albums on this list. Didn’t realize these guys made Alright. I hate the album cover though. Creeps me out, those faces are uncanny. 7.5/10 (my first half point score) Top 5: 1. Alright 2. I’d Like To Know 3. Caught By The Fuzz 4. Strange Ones 5. Sitting Up Straight

摇滚是不是都还不错捏

a couple great songs on there. overall kind of bland.

This album is much better than their next album, "In It for the Money". Love the energy of the opening song. Pleasantly surprised.

Pretty cool pop rock from UK

Such cute spunky kids – one misses having such energy, but also finds it somewhat exhausting. One prefers these guys to Arctic Monkeys and Green Day (by a lot). Perhaps a bit much of the same relentless tempo and perhaps a bit too shiny, too. The record gets better with the better cuts are backloaded after a more frenetic (a bit excessively so, depending on the listening context). Highest quality comes through "She's So Loose," "Sofa" and 2x "Time," the second of which, so Beatlesesque, one vaguely remembers from the day. "Alright" also considerably better than just that.

It was fine, but not something I'd seek out. Didn't really catch my attention.

fine. 3 stars

So this is the album where the legendary “Alright” comes from! I had a lively time listening but it was a bit too theatrical for my tastes.

Better than the 300 other British alt bands I’ve been forced to listen to that aren’t the Cure or The Smiths

Pretty average. 1 hit track.

Decent album. A little bit weird in places but overall not bad.

Love the Alright song, but only because it's from Clueless. Otherwise would have rated a 1.

really loved this one!

Firstly, I have to disclose that I really dislike Oasis and I’m not a fan of britpop in general. This is a lot better than Oasis! Fun and melodic - I would listen to this anytime - but I lost interest in the second half and I didn’t really relate to the songs. Fave Track: Mansize Rooster Rating: 3

Man these little english goobers could turn out a tune! Mansized rooster, time, alright, very solid tracks on a very solid debut.

I hadn’t heard of this band before, but I listened to it a couple times and enjoyed it!

Really on my same page for what regards aesthetics, messages and soul. Tho I liked it more than the previous one, it had at times rhythms a bit too heavy

The best Supergrass album. They slowly descended into vintage seriousness as time went on, where this album is perfect youthful fun!

So far Supergrass didn't really impress me but I do like this album as a nice, direct approach.

Sparkling English post punk or pop punk or something that still sounds fresh nearly thirty years later. And it dances. Melodic and varied enough I’d like to listen at least again and again at least. Anticipates Spoon and a lot of other music but much less precious and self aware. Back when white musicians didn’t think so much (of themselves).

Pretty great for what it is. Reminds me of a precursor to artic monkeys and maybe the strokes

Not bad, but not necessarily good either. Songs are fine, but nothing special. 3/5 Probably won't listen again

britti poppiahan tämä... kitaran rämpytys chilling wibing loppuosa... villi alkuosa..

Like: British alternativa rock

Another album where the one famous song isn't best

Pretty bland stuff. Never felt very inspired. Chock it up to the author's love of mediocre 90s Britpop.

Not my style. It's very happy go lucky rock, like what you'd expect from a high school party in a movie from the US.

One hit wonder "Alright". British band, didn't love the sound.

I actually discovered this album early this year and quite liked it - having heard Alright I initially wrote Supergrass off as being one of those douchey early 2000s flash-in-the-pan bands, but the rest of this album is really solid and Gaz Coombs seems like a nice guy so I'll happily give it 4*

Energikus, tempós, brit. Az Alright a legismertebb dal valóban, de személyesen a Sitting Up Straight a kedvenc az albumról. 3,83

Really fun, upbeat album that I can see myself listening to again and again

Favorite tracks were I'd Like To Know and Lenny

Some very enjoyable pop rock songs. Lots of diversity among these tracks.

Great punk album! From start to finish every song brought something new without deviating too far from a killer sound. Really enjoyed the ride on this one.

A little too close to Ska for my tastes, probably suffering from my general dislike for fake English-ish accents on lead vocalists. No doubt this lead is actually English but the die has been cast. Hate it.

I enjoyed it but wouldn't really play it again. High 3s

I enjoyed listening to this album! The instrumentals are fantastic and kept me on my toes throughout. It gives the listener a breather from the high energy when needed, but still delivers through to the end. This isn’t the genre for me, but I would wholeheartedly recommend it to people who do like it. Standout tracks: Actually all were great, especially from the middle onwards. Would I revisit this album: Probably not.

Liked this much more than I thought, the only song i'd heard from them was actually my least favourite on the album. No fuss just good fun tunes

Some good songs and some ok ones. Solid 3.

7/10

3.5 / 5

It was good. Sounded very mainstream 90s pop.

My favorite yet, I liked almost every song on it. Had no idea Alright came from this

So far so good. Alright was just that.... alright - but not that good - surprisingly popular. More of a Lenny fan. This may be disputed but I get a "Beatles but in the 90s vibe from these guys"

Did not like it with the first couple of songs, sounded like boring punk. The album got much better by the end with more rocky sounding songs.

Fun rock, solid throughout, nothing special.

Song "Alright" is heard everywhere. English alternative rock band. Garage rock sound.

Mid 90s grunge pop cross ranging from sound garden, to oasis, to hole

I didn't get through the whole album, but I liked what I heard

I really enjoyed this album the tasteful shouting and instrumentation in the background really make this a fun listen. My favorites off the album were Time and Lose It.

When I’m initially unfamiliar with a song with over 300 million Spotify streams (especially anything tangential to 90s rock), I’d like to say I usually recognize it once I put it on. I can pretty confidently say I’ve never heard “Alright” though. It’s presumably the reason this album is on the list, but for a one “hit” wonder, I’m a little disappointed in Supergrass. At best they sound like a generative AI’s response to the prompt “Write an album like you’re a group of uninspired horny London high schoolers hanging out in their mums’ garages, bruv. Oh, and make sure you somehow incorporate vocals from the Minions!” They are by no means bad, but nothing stands out about this band or this album other than their aggressively British accents.

Fast paced British rock. Not a fan of the vocals - a bit tiring to listen to. Rally like the guitar shredding on the songs Lenny, Strange Ones, She’s So Loose and Time. Includes famous hit Alright.

Good, felt like some surf rock at points but a generally good 90s alt album

Never liked Supergrass. Never liked their childish, playful mood. Damn them! Hate Alright. Coming off the back of the Britpop wave, rock music was always going to take a turn. Plenty of well written songs, and really, a style that at the time, was probably quite unique. Picked up by 00's indie bands worldwide. SOT: I'd Like to Know Caught By The Fuzz Alright 3/5

This is a pretty decent album and maybe ahead of their time as this sounds like something that could’ve came from the 2000s alternative rock scene. Alright is a solid song that has been played in commercials. I enjoyed it and some of the other songs were still pretty good too. Other songs didn’t mesh too well and it went back and forth between indie rock and softer punk rock. Overall it was decent and there are songs worth revisiting. 6.2/10

Britpop punk. Un megahit. Un 4.

Sólo me gusta Sofa Of My Lethargy y Alright. Estilos distintos.

3.3 - The best thing I can say about these guys is at least they didn’t follow almost every other British rock outfit of this era and attempt to replicate “The Bends.” Instead they drew inspiration from arena rock bands of the 70s like Foghat and mixed in rollicking punk energy à la The Clash. Theirs is a durable sound but I find the songwriting lacking. Nothing here warrants a second listen - not even “Time”, one of the better tracks.

One of the many albums demonstrating why being a teen in the 90s ruled. Being a teen in other decades was probably fine, too. Whatever.

Not normally being too much into really british punk/rock, that was a surprisingly refreshing listen. The tracks are overall good and fun, really like the more mellow tunes at the end but the more punky parts were still very nice to groove along to.

I said that their sophomore album was solid but had a certain "it" factor that was missing... I think I've found it. This was rompin', varied, energetic, and bursting with unbridled youth from start to finish.

Really good stuff, this has been the second time that Supergrass caught me by surprise.

Very cool 90's alt sound. Haven't heard of this one before, would like to listen to it again.

I enjoy their sense of humor and energy.

Fantastic and fun album. Hadn't heard of this before today, so was super hyped when "Alright" came on, which of course is a massive hit everyone knows.

4/5

Closer to 4 but not enough to give it one

8.1

Catchy and fun, though a bit same-y.

3.8 bra men ikke woaw

Sólo me gusta Sofa Of My Lethargy y Alright. Estilos distintos.

It’s an album I’d have to be in a certain mood to listen to because a lot of it is not really my taste. Most liked tracks: - Alright - Time - Sofa of my Lethargy - Time to Go

What a great debut album. Masterful riffs

Jolly Britpunk/pop by teenagers. I find it a bit insubstantial.

It sounds good and had a good feel, but not something I would have on my playlist.

The best britpop album. Top tier stuff

Super energetic album! I was hooked as soon as I heard the opening track. So good! I've already heard Alright before but lost in memory. So glad that I rediscovered it. Even gladder that I listened to the full album. Time To Go is a perfect closure.

Oikeen hyvää perusrockia!

нууу просто норм

Really like the first song, Alright. Like the energy in this album. I'd Like to Know and Time To Go are other ones that caught my ear.

Hmm beetje te intens voor mij raakte een beetje overprikkeld. Wel coole nummers I guess

Loved the album cover. Pretty alternative Indy sound. There was some catchy tunes. Kinda between The Monkeys (Alright), The Killers (Lose it & Lenny) and Fraggle Rock (We're not supposed to)? Eh? I don't know I'm a doctor Jim not a music critic.

Some really good tracks I'd not listened to for ages.

Not really my style

Honestly a lot more fun than I thought it would be. Great musicians.

I thought I had no idea who this band was, but I actually recognized a couple of songs on here (and liked them too). Very 90s, but very enjoyable. "Alright" is the song I was most familiar with, and it's probably also my favorite on the album, but honestly most of the songs on here are good. Will definitely listen again.

I usually don't like Brit Pop, but this band has a punk feel. Most will recognize "Alright" from Clueless, but there are other songs worth listening to.

Not my usual choice in music but by Sofia I liked it. Fast mostly but under control. Shades of old groups like who pink Floyd and John Lennon Norwegian wood drop in and out. Most of it I liked. Best to me were alright and Sofia.

Don't mind it but not into it either.

Dit album zou zo uit 2021/2022/2023 kunnen komen. Klinkt een beetje als Bongloard, Wodan Boys en Korfbal (om maar wat Nederlandse shit te pluggen hier). Ik vind dat gave muziek. Eerste helft is iets sterker dan de tweede helft, maar ik ga toch een 5 geven.

This one is pretty fun to listen to. Not my usual jam, but decent.

aight

Right up my alley. Only heard "Alright" before now, but the rest of the album whips hard as nails. Belter.

Solid enough Britpop. Alright is one of the best songs of the genre/era, I’m surprised they aren’t more of a household name in the US based on the merits of that song alone. Caught by the Fuzz, Strange Ones are also very good pop rock. They are basically a rattier sounding Jam. It’s impressive for a debut too, they sound more confident than cocky. Nothing about this is innovative or unique though, just solid Britpop.

A fun exuberant album with sixties pop flourishes, and nineties aggression. Clangy overdriven Beatles/Kinks chords. Bowie glam. Lightly Distorted Vocals not mixed for clarity. Throw this on at a party and get the energy pumping. This one feels like it would be comfortable sitting in a six cd changer for six months to a year

3/4

Good stuff, enjoyed it

Mansize rooster is a sleeper track, I was a fan of the melody. Of course Alright is a classic. I am a bigger fan of this than i was expecting.

3,5/5
