I Should Coco

It’s alright.

Not that enjoyable. Another punkish album I don't regret not hearing originally.

A little better than the other britpop albums I've gotten so far but not by a whole lot; there's way too much of it on this list.

I don't "la la la" like this band. The second Supergrass album to cross my path through this practice of listening each weekday to one of the 1001 albums I must hear before I die. It's the second time I wondered to myself, I'd Like to Know: why this band? Send some of their influences my way, please. That is at least what's interesting here. On paper, I ought to like them and yet, I can't get into it. At least this record was shorter than the other I was served. It also seemed peppier overall. Better than the last, I guess. Ok, review over. Time to Go.

Can't say britpop is my favourite genre, but had enough to keep me listening and has the classic "We are Young".

“We Are Young” is alright… but apart from that… meh

Listened Before? N It was ok. More britpop stuff. Not a huge fan but it was better than the other album of theirs that popped up earlier in my list. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: Alright

Toss-up between Supergrass' 'Alright' and Kendrick Lamar's 'Alright' between being the most important anthem in 20 years.

the arctic monkeys and beatles had a special baby. strange ones

2.5 An interesting mix of stuff. A bit too poppy overall for my liking.

It was ok

So sure I had been given this album before that I checked my history. It wasn't there. I must have been doing some extracurricular listening. I remember being disappointed. I enjoy some later Supergrass music, but this first album rubbed me the wrong way. So let's give it one more shot and hear what happens...

I probably would’ve enjoyed this more if I’d heard it as a teen. In retrospect a lot of 90s rock seem overrated to me - especially the Brit pop. Even though those were my formative years I have a hard time getting into it now. A terrible head cold might have took a star off.

I remember this band used to get late night rage play in the 90s. I remembered Alright as soon as it played, the rest an unknown. Naturally, this is the 1001 albums list and they're from the UK. It has a 90s alternative meets new wave meets English whimsy vibe. Even the fucking cover is annoying to look at. ew. 2/5.

Not spectacular

This album has 58 dang songs. Three hours long. Cut it up, Supergrass. The song Alright is very famous, and was a good listen. TBH, I only listened to about five other songs and wasn't too impressed.

I enjoyed their album Road to Rouen so I was excited for this...then let down

Punk rock classic. Listen later better.

This album has one song I know and it's otherwise unmemorable

A few cool tunes among them, including Alright, but overall this did not do much for me

Entirely unremarkable. The organ in the first couple songs was kinda cool, where'd that go? And then this Time song shows up, great little blues number. At least something stands out!!!

***Blind First Time Listen*** Never heard of them. Alright was a decent track. The rest was an erratic journey through seemingly a few genres. Parts of songs appealed to me, but just not my style.

Not great, only 1 song I loved

I vaguely recall this band from the 90s but not much beyond their one big US single ("Alright"?) I found it mostly grating and gave up on it mid-listen. Just not my style, maybe too much in the pop direction?

Pass. Not up my alley.

I've listened to a much mellower Gaz Coombes a fair bit over the last year or two, but never realized he led this outfit. Anyway, this LP has a nice punchy post-punk sound, but to me it's 20 years too late. They would pair nicely with The Undertones. I'm deducting a point for the cover.

I like their youthful exuberance - lots of brash energy and they sound like their channeling the Buzzcocks. Alright, is well, alright, but the rest of the album isn't very memorable and doesn't quick stick.

“Energetic” is indeed a good way to describe this album. I was hoping to enjoy it because I really love Gaz Coombes’ solo stuff. This album didn’t really do it for me overall. 2.5 stars

Say what you will about the times we are living in, I’m just grateful to not have been a British teen in the 90s 4/10

It was okay, not sure it belongs on the 1000 best albums list.

I'm not in love with the coco. Forgettable alt rock.

It said on Spotify that Supergrass was "one of the most important bands to emerge during the 1990's" and my question is, why? This isn't anything new or interesting, just more britpop, even if they're talking about commercial success I still don't know where they're coming from, there were so many more important and influential rock bands to emerge during the 90's, in terms of the quality of the record, it's okay. It was a very passive listen from me, I liked one of two songs, but I won't remember this is a couple of hours. 2.5/5

Slightly disappointed that this just seems to fall in the "Britpop" where things seem to be pretty monotonous. I was looking forward to this listen, but happy to move on.

I think this would be okay background bar music, but I didn’t really enjoy actively listening to it. Not super interesting or memorable but some semi-creative moments and nice guitar feedback. 2.5

Heard a lot of the singles before but a lot of the songs were felt the same

I like their magpie-like approach in terms of influence, with a bit of kinks here, but of pink floyd there, but of the lovin’ spoonful and all that. Not sure it all gels though - I think this was an album of early promise rather than a classic. They got more interesting and assured later on. Some great songs on here though, but mainly the singles: Strange Ones, Alright, Caught by the Fuzz.

I feel like I'm listening to a teenage garage punk band, very raw and shouty. A couple of catchy songs, but couldn't get into most of the songs.

Nerviger Punk mit Einfluss X

It's alright, doesn't seem like anything particularly special to me though.

Not for me, I’m afraid. The good: Mansize Rooster, Alright (though it’s firmly planted in my brain as an “advert” song), Lose It The bad: Caught by the fuzz, I’d Like to know The meh: Everything else 2/5

i think I like britpop more than I thought, interesting tangent to explore

Supergrass produced some absolutely solid singles which can be found at the beginning of the album, but the later half of the album didn't quite hold up as well as the first half.

90s nostalgia

Thirty years ago. Relieved of the responsibility of aging gracefully from the start, giving that it was conceived in pretty juvenile circs in the first place.

Kinda hanging it’s hat on the one hit song

Very 90s. I liked. Discovered a hit with Alright! Will listen again but maybe not recommend

Definitely my kind of music. Need to hear more of it. For sure. 2/5.

Tommonen perusrallittelu

Tiene una buena ¿no?

Lang verhaal kort; ik was hier niet klaar voor.

Tracks all blended together and nothing stood out as a great single.

This list is really testing my assumed affection for Britpop. There's an obvious youthful energy on this record, expressed most positively on the first side. But while the band produces some nice pop-punk, it's an uncompelling pop fusion. The second half gets different and not in a good way. Instead, I'm left confused why this is on the list. Definite listen-once-as-it-comes-out material.

I bet Louis would like this one

dont like thuis british rock

Not my cup of tea

Kind of boring. It can sound like the Foo Fighters or the Beatles, but overall if feels pretty dull.

Occasionally entertaining but mostly unmemorable and juvenile witterings; the band would improve with experience.

Me pareció muy básico. Con un tema muy conocido, pero lo demás poco destacable. La canción al estilo ardillitas totalmente innecesaria.

Average

Not a big fan of punk-rock. 2.5/5

I didn't really enjoy this album that much. Some songs were alright. The song Alright was the highlight of this album, I love that song. That's the only reason why this album is getting a 2/5 stars.

Britheadz

Another painfully average album from another one hit wonder band. I like the feel of it in places but in others it just feels like hot mess. The only single on it, Alright, is pretty self describing. I quite liked Time and Sofa Of My Lethargy wouldn’t be out of place on a Blur album. Overall, very average and doesn’t inspire me to listen twice.

OK for what it is, but not my style. Not enough variety in the songs.

Not up my alley. I actually stopped listening about halfway through to go listen to Crime of the Century and Deja Vu instead, both of which I easily listened the whole way through.

A few bops here and there but nothing I would go back to

Glam 90’s alt

Nothing special. 5/10

Another "fine" album. the hit, "Alright" is good. Seems like the group was more or less a one hit wonder. On Spotify, "alright" has 170 million plays, the next highest is only 13 million.

Eh.

Not what I was expecting from a band named Supergrass but okay album. Was inclined to turn it off half way through but listened on and it was okay... 90s britpop per wikipedia

paia

Nothing special...

Has not aged well. Punk feels more like an aesthetic for pretentious art boys rather than a real expression of emotion. Musically, it's all over the place

didn't really like them then, haven't changed that much now - a bit like Green Day

Not my tempo

sounds slightly annoying to me sorry:/ - edit: "she's so loose" was kinda enjoyable - end tracks all less annoying, with some nice parts even * only 1.5 stars tho bc I wanted to skip a lot of songs and will likely not revisit and since I just saw I got the critic badge lol: my ratings generally primarily reflect my personal taste bc I want to discover what I enjoy

Trop British punk, on entend rien Quelques musiques sympas quand même

Não deveria estar na lista

This is too much for me

buns

Álbum legal até, mas n achei tudo isso.

This just sucks. I hate this type of music. Just dude shit. Fuck all this type of music. I don’t even care. I mean I know there’s gonna be more of it coming cause this is what’s coming down the shoot but I sure as hell learn to hate it even more.

4/13 Punk music just sounds the same to me. Very boring and bland

Had a Sex Pistols meets The Clash vibe. Not bad.

Muy rock arriba, las voces no me gustan

Yikes

Oooof. I listened all the way through, and I feel like I deserve a medal for doing it.

being honest i dont like the voice wtf

Couple of good tunes on here but I don't get why anyone would say you have to hear this before you die.

Not a fan. Wasn’t drawn in by the music, almost did not finish. Favorite Song: Alright Ideal listening situation: Tony Hawk Pro Skater Would I listen Again?: Nope

I liked it for its nostalgia and I’d listen to one or two on their own, but as an album it all blurs together a bit too much

I didn’t finish it :( it didn’t start bad i just couldn’t put my head into it

goddamn impressive, not a listenable second on this

1. knouu - 1 2. fuzz - 1 3. roozter - 0 4. alright - 2 5. loze - 1.5 6. lenny - 1.5 7. ztrange -1 8. ztraight -0 9. looze -1.5 10. zuppozed - 0 11. time - 1.5 12. zofa - 1 13. Go -

no clou

Well I figured out who sang the Frosted mini-wheats and Enbrel commercial song. Outside of "Alright" it doesn't really stand out to much for me; very loud.

nah

Annoying music for clowns

Can't sing? Run your voice through a distortion filter. Can't play? Just bang out some basic staccato chords in a rhythmic pattern. Can't write anything meaningful to say? Just string together some generic lyrics about young love and teenage angst or some such. Now you got the recipe for Superass.

The 20th Anniversary edition on Spotify just might make this the longest album ever! Not a huge fan, so I should go!

Yeah nah. Just not in the mood right now for all this energy

not a fan

The album is good, but the songs feel a bit repetitive and sometimes even noisy in a way that doesn’t work for me. It’s not the kind of album I can start my day with or put on when I just want to listen to music.

Not my thing. Fast forwarded through every song. Sounds like they are one type of band that made pop songs to generate revenue.

Lots of energy in this album!

Not a big fan of alternative rock. I just didn't connect.

I didn’t like Supergrass when they were desperately trying to be part of Britpop in the 90s. Not helped by ‘Alright’ being played on every radio station, which wasn’t many back then, on repeat. There youthful energy annoyed me, their voices annoyed me and Gaz Coombes sideburns annoyed me. Nothing has changed. I still don’t like them and am surprised by the average rating and the number of 4&5 star reviews for this. Solid 2 for me. It’s not Metallica levels of shit, but it’s close.

Terrible. Messy. No.

Too much circus energy. The cover of this album is annoying

Things I was doing in 1995. Bringing up children. Working my arse off to house, feed, pay bills for all of us. Put up with my my lazy arsed partner who did fuck all to help, except shout abuse. It was a few years before I finally left them. What I did not do was listen to this absolute pile of horse shit.

None for me, thanks

Mediocre everything. Who do they even want to be?

Nothing here for me.

Stop yelling

No

Not for me. 1/5

Not bad alternative band/music.

Not a fan

woo woo wooo.. yeah eyah yeah... valittu listalle yhden populääribiisin takia, album on muun muassa: paska. spectaclural so ecltetcic,.niin paljon personaallisuutta omg eklektkinen. I bet Louis would like this one. parhainmillaan tämä on ärsyttävä, hyuonoinmillaan tämä on erittäin ärsyttävä. ei mitään miten ei voi tämän takia evoluuti = aei parempi, koska aikasempi musiikki PAREM'p'i'... tämä muuttunut ja homompi.. = mitä vittua? mutta myöhäsiempi musiikki myös parempi... älä enää koskaan tee noin... pois tämä silmieni edestä. ole hyvä ja poistu lisäksi älä koskaan tule takaisin.. mitään asiaa semmoiselle alright

I dont like it i give it 1 out 5. Because the cover art is ugly and dont understand the lyircs at all. Also isnt my type of music I dont like instruments. I dont recommend it.

1st song- i rate like 9/10 i really like it they need more help little bit but its ok 2nd song-i rate like 5/10 idk why i dont kinda like it but it sound a good tho 3rd song-i rate like 3/10 i dont like it at all and sound so weird for me idk why

Worst britpop I’ve ever heard. So disorganized and bland. I need to listen to pulp to cleanse my palate

not a fan, not my type of music. supergrass does have a track (NOT the one on this album that was in heaaaavy rotation for ages on the radio back in the day) called Movin' from another album that I really like, but only half of it : )

Not a fan. I did not put energy into listening Setting: Home; WFH

british. vocalist. the worst kind too these guys have to be the least creative artist on here so far. they're a pretty generic blend of that 90s era punk-influenced british rock with distorted guitar, distorted vocals, washed out drums and bass that's way too loud for how boring and repetitive it is. the only good part of this album is that sometimes the vocalist sounds a little like bowie but then he fucks it up and sounds like another generic annoying british vocalist fuck this album this is literally a 1 hit wonder band. they are on here because they had a big hit in england. i am going to kill this author and all other british people.

I'm genuinely concerned for the well-being of children who were brought up in an environment where they were exposed to parents who were a fan of this. We're not supposed to is particularly egregious. Strange ones and time to go are the least painful to get through the latter only cause they're singing about the album ending. I don't like the way the guy on the left is looking at me. Fuck this was bad 2/10

2/10…und das nur wegen des einen bekannten Songs. Ansonsten grauenhaft

My thumb got sore from skipping tracks. 1 star. “No studio for you. Come back in one year!” Soup Nazi

Tbc

Only Alright and We are not supposed to stood out, rest of the album is the same sounding pile of dogshit

nothing interesting

Gear: DCA ÆON 2 Noire Mix: 🙎‍♂️ Musik: Britpop. 🙎‍♂️ Wertung: 🙎‍♂️(🙎‍♂️)/5 (inkl. +1 für "Alright")

Can see why it may be influential but can't help wonder what didn't make the list to make room for this album

Nope, not my jam!

Awful

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

Meh

Would Not open up.

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

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

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.

No

Another “did not finish” album

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

Don't like English people

Also not it

I don’t have the energy to wade through this

cringe, as for me

No es para mi

Good

I don't think that 90s rock is going to age that well They often mare good examples of straight ahead rock music, but they also often aren't that INTERESTING This is pretty fun pop punk, but I imagine that if you didn't group up with it that it won't have a ton of staying power None of that isn't to say that this isn't good music. I really enjoy it for what it is. There's a soft spot in my heart for this kind of "three people in a bedroom making music" approach.
