Alright is great, the rest are solid but unspectacular. Not sure this is a great album, good but not great.

Caught By The Fuzz is great. Overall I think I preferred the other album, In It For The Money, but this was good too if you ignore a couple of misses.

So this is the alright band. Strange Ones was really the only other song that stood out. The rest of it is perfectly fine inoffensive Britpop, my second listen was much more enjoyed than the first.

Idk lads, tough to pin down

Really enjoyed it. Great nostalgia. Few weird songs but overall enjoyable

Decent fun record. I loved the energy but I was definitely ready for something else by the end.

More Britpop - a real shortage of that on this list. Much like the first album, a fun listen even if “Alright” is still in every commercial.

3.4 Been a week or two since I listened to this album and now rating. Alright is an alltimer, everything else is perfectly listenable but not really all that original, innit

it's alright (pun intended)

Not my kind of music at all. However there were some very fun and clever songs and the album was pretty palatable. I’m also a sucker for a good last song and this album provided that.

I’d never heard this before (other than the obvious song) and thought it was great. Fell off a little at the end, but the first half was awesome.

Always thought that this band were the natural heirs to the Rolling Stones. A couple of eye catching songs (caught by the fuzz, mansize rooster) and the ever popular alright. This album tails off alarmingly though towards the end and isnt highly recommended for that reason alone

Very catchy. Great energy and quite a rough edge to it.

Excellent variety, with exciting composition and mixing. Favourite songs: Sitting up Straight, She's So Loose

Youthful and funnn

Good album Alright was a banger

I saw Supergrass perform this album live last year to mark its 30th anniversary. It made me wonder a) how I got this old and b) if Supergrass had known that in 30 years they’d be performing this album in order, would they have rejigged the track listing to space out the slower songs instead of having them all at the end?That’s a nitpick though because I think this really holds up and is still so energetic and fun.

Great album for a bright sunny day. Compared to other Britpop, this one sticks closer to the influences (and not just glam rock or Merseybeat, but actual hard rock or OG/proto-heavy metal). So on one hand it's a bit less interesting or original, but at the same time more accessible to someone who is ambivalent to Britpop. Pure Britpop has a certain vibe to it that makes it niche -- and I'm not in the group of people that it's for. But this album is just competent rock music with a normal amount of British weirdness.

Love some classic punk. Just like the beatles but heavier? Last 3 tracks of the álbum are top notch! Very nice finds!

Raucous and fun. Vibey in a good way.

I bought this when it came out. I liked it then and I like it now.

Low to mid

Definitely not my vibe but I know it was part of the 90's Britpop sensation. Alright is a banger for sure.

Really liked this album. Good tunes.

Fantastic debut album

Teenaged me would’ve looooooved this!

Oh my god I fucking love this so much it’s not at all what I expected and it’s Different from other “Britpop” artists. Whom I hate and more like the slightly different ones that I enjoy such as suede and pulp

I used to like this album when I was 18, but I probably hadn't listened to the full thing in more than 20 years. As I relistened, I kept waiting for a dud song and it never really happened. Yes, it's a bit derivative, and maybe it slows down a little for the last couple tracks, but overall this is a wall to wall banger. It sounds like a bunch of teenage punks hopped up on caffeine (or something stronger). This might just be the best Britpop album of all time.

Depois de um começo barulhento e simplório, o disco evolui para algumas melodias interessantes.

Imagine having this much energy and still being boring as you have so little to say. Alright is alright - tho still stupid as fuck. 1.5 rounded up - can have half a point for the video.

01) I'd Like to Know - 7,5 02) Caught by the Fuzz - 8,0 03) Mansize Rooster - 7,5 04) Alright - 10,0 05) Lose It - 8,0 06) Lenny - 8,0 07) Strange Ones - 7,5 08) Sitting Up Straight - 7,5 09) She's So Loose - 7,5 10) We're Not Supposed To - 8,0 11) Time - 7,5 12) Sofa (of My Lethargy) - 7,5 13) Time to Go - 7,5 TOTAL: 7,85 (79/100) Current ranking: 326/1031

This was better than I expected. I recall reading about this band and album when it came out but never listened until now.

Över förväntan. Mycket svängigt och mycket bra ihopsatt som totalt album. Blev helt till mig av Sitting Up Straight, måste vara helt sjuk live!!

Can’t really get into it. Erratic, annoying, and just too zippy for me.

Mhh I dont think I was paying attention when listening to it, will have to spin it again.

Favourite Track(s):

1 standout song and the rest was fine.

Proof that BritPop can actually be good!

I couldn't quite grasp what the theme of the music was as I was listening, which was entertaining in some sense. The album felt like a compilation of musically creative songs with some fabulous instrumentation. Even with that though, I couldn't quite connect with this album. Something was missing for my taste. Favorite Tracks: Caught by the Fuzz Alright

Are We Like You? 1001 Albums Generator 344 (9/7/2026) Energetic, eclectic British rock. I really enjoyed the instruments here; the bass and drums are constantly energetic, and the guitar is pretty good too. This album is also all over the place genre-wise, from the pop punk of Sitting Up Straight to the blues of Time. Unfortunately, even at just 40 minutes, I Should Coco feels a bit too long. 3.5/5, rounded up to 4. Favs: I'd Like To Know Caught By The Fuzz Alright Least Fav: We're Not Supposed To

Yay more mid-90s brit-pop. Typically well done, very intermittently relatable.

While Supergrass' Spotify bio describes them as "one of the defining British bands of the 1990s," I feel like the UK produces a band like this once or twice a decade. Maybe the Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, the Kooks, the Fratellis, etc. are following the trail blazed by Supergrass? "I'd Like to Know" and "Lose It" are my favorites, and this album is fun in general. But I had to listen to it twice because the first time it just came and went with little notice. 3.5 stars.

I really enjoyed a few of the tracks on this one, and was indifferent to the rest.

Pretty good. Fav track:“Alright“

Knew "alright" but didn't realize it beforehand. Enjoyed the album

These boys are real unsung Britpop heroes, cause hot damn what a record. They're bouncing off the walls, packing more energy and hooks than any of their other contemporaries. It's like the Buzzcocks rebirthed under the 90s with more radio friendly production. Cracking stuff lads.

Turns out I like Supergrass more than I thought. I Should Coco was both more versatile and fun than expected. Especially the mix of styles resulting in that punk britpop sound I didnt know they had, was surprising in a positive way. The first half of the album was a bit more energetic and more filled with that punk sound while on the second half I could really hear some influences of bands like the Stone Roses for example with the songs being more melodic and less fast paced. What I also noticed was the great guitarwork in particular that Lenny riff was pretty catchy but overall good work. Really a no skip album out of nothing for me I enjoyed listening to it quite a lot. Even the weaker songs are still fun and I'm sure this is added to my more regular rotation of albums. Edit 2 weeks later: There are no weak songs and I listen to it a lot. Great album really. 4,8/5

This is the first one I have not finished, I regret it as I see potantial, but some of the songs were a bit grating

This is #day757 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and… here's to one of those long-forgotten alternative rock gems from the '90s I haven't really been aware of. Pretty good record, bursting with youth and energy. Just what you need if you feel like rocking out on a Friday afternoon. This is a 3 out of 5. Looking forward to #day758.

I’d heard alright before but never knew the band/song title. This would’ve gone hard with me when I was in like 6th grade and obsessed with guitar hero! Still pretty good buzzcocks worship

It’s Britpop so obviously it has some of the 60s hand-me-down DNA to it, but honestly, it reminded me a lot of the Undertones in that it’s unabashedly teenaged power-pop-punky music while being grander in what it’s going for than the two albums of theirs I’ve heard. Instrumentation sounds great, lot of really nice harmonies, Gaz Coombes’ voice is perfect for what they’ve got and yeah, it just speaks through the sort of manic joys and confusion of teenagedom really well. Sort of thing I’d probably love deeply if I found it half a lifetime ago.

A solid albeit forgettable album. My worldview has been changed by Alright being much younger than I thought it was. Rating: 3

shockingly fun, shouldve been bigger

I appreciated the energy on this for the most part. I will say that not much of it, aside from the big song, was memorable.

Millenial britpop.

This was surprisingly good tbh. I need to put a lil more respect on the Supergrass name.

It's energetic, dynamic and quite catchy. I liked the vocals and harmonies in particular, the instrumentals are very busy which is fine. Overall I'm not blown away but it was fun to listen to.

This album was very up and down for me. I think I overall liked it better than Oasis’ Morning Glory, which I know is somewhat blasphemous, and that was the comparison I made in my head as I listened. The highs on this album were high: Alright, We’re Not Supposed To), and the lows were low for me. Overall, not my favorite music genre. I’ll give it 3 stars though

Totally fine. Couple of legendary Gen x anthems in here, but also some misguided stuff. Probably won't revisit. Not because it's bad but because there is so much other good stuff out there.

Mick jagger singing and attitude with a pop punk bend for me. Nice diverse tracks. The lyrics aren’t quit enough for me, but the vibe is good. Points for that teen movie anthem “alright”. That’s a banger.

A fast, energetic debut that leans on punk momentum but never abandons pop architecture. Even when they get loose, the internal structure keeps everything driving forward. It’s fun, confident, and clearly formative for the band, but not something I’d consider essential beyond its historical moment. Enjoyable, not a keeper. My Rating: 3/5

This is pretty solid. I quite liked Strange Ones. I found this an overall enjoyable listen.

Pretty decent album. Some good stuff on there but not super great. Some catchy and some boring, nothing really got me too excited. Just not an album for me.

have definitely heard worse brit pop/punk on this project. solid 3

I missed this when it was released, bad on me. Great Britpop top to bottom

They're kind of like a louder, faster, goofier Shins.

with the faster tempos, brash attitude, harmonies, and the allowance for some solos, this is a punk rock record that wears its melodic influences on its sleeves. only at the end do they start to blend in with the concurrent britpop groups.

couple of bangers. I can't believe this album came out in 1995 . sounds like a late 2000s indie album at times

Atrocious cover art. Album does not make up for it.

I’m a huge Britpop fan and have always enjoyed Supergrass immensely. They are a band that doesn’t have a bad album. Their whole discography is solid. This album in many ways being there first is kinda hearing them at there youngest and most fun. With so many classic tracks like “Caught By The Fuzz” , Mansize Rooster” and their BIG single “Alright” (remember the music video being at the end of the “Clueless” VHS tape), and even the later track “Time” Is such a beautiful tune and great guitar progression. The lesser moments still keep the album moving and keep the feel. “Strange Ones” is a great song for the losers and misfits for the world. Definitely another highlight with that track and kinda dark Now with my glowing review out of the review, you may believe this is a 5, but to me most Supergrass albums don’t make it past the 4 or 4.5. I think it’s that their songwriting is good and songs are catchy but they are missing that little extra sprinkle of Something to make them as special as they bigger Britpop bands like Blur, Oasis &, Pulp. (I do prefer Supergrass overall more than Suede lol) So that being said I’m going at 4.5 (just missing that extra factor). Supergrass nailed it on their first album and some would say never topped it

Not for me. Some real Gen X stuff here

I get why people like Supergrass but I've struggled to want to listen to them past their singles and I've got to trust my gut.

pretty good! only recognized the song from the clueless soundtrack. not really for me but not my least fave and unfortunately came after a bunch of great albums I loved. The author of this list definitely has a type of band he centers

🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 Superbiased towards Supergrass because my Dad was binging their discography right around the time I was born so I feel like a bit of their essence was infused into my soul, though clearly not enough, because I wish I was half as amped up as this twice as often. Even though I’ve (consciously) listened to only one Supergrass album in full, I’ve pretty much already listened to I Should Coco collage-style—over the years, I’ve sporadically saved nine of thirteen tracks. Really, this just felt like a greatest hits montage for me, and that’s alright—“greatest” is the operative word. My defining adjective for Supergrass would be “delight.” If I were afforded two words, it would be “unbridled delight;” if I were afforded three, it would be “this shit rips.” In high school, I never really related to other kids’ music tastes, and I don’t mean that to be some kind of quirklord, I just really felt like my music was so remote from everyone else’s and I was afraid to be judged when sharing it. When I finally started making people playlists, Supergrass was always on there—“Mansize Rooster” was a mainstay—because I assumed everyone had to like Supergrass; I assumed it was impossible to not like Supergrass. Their fun (delight) is infectious—how can you not want to thrash to some of these songs? An album like this is just pop-rock mastery—military-grade hooky, monty-python playful, and, speaking of which, sledgehammer-over-the-head British. Obviously, every song is just bursting with energy, but even an album like that risks flattening into samey-ness, which this album admittedly does on songs like “Caught by the Fuzz,” “Lenny,” or “She’s so Loose” (in my opinion). What really takes this album to the next level is its hyperactive imagination—the band takes its more psychedelic turns and tempo changes into stride so snappily that it feels like they couldn’t be contained, and that they’re holding back that spazzy child in slower songs like “Time” or “Time Goes On” (and it does) towards the end. I guess that’d be the squeaky-high harmonies, pitched-up “Strange Ones,” and Gaz Coombes’s cartoonish vocals talking—“Strange Ones” is delightfully distressing, and it’s exactly the shot in the arm that makes this album so great. Check out the bonus tracks, too—predictably delightful covers of “Just Dropped in (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)” and Hendrix’s “Stone Free” played at—perhaps this his heretical to say—the speed it was meant to be played. 1: Bad | 2: Below Okay, No Desire to Revisit | 3: Good, Conditionally (OR Inconsistent Mix of Qualities) | 4: Great (OR Technically amazing but missing the sauce emotionally) | 5: Amazing

A great debut. A fantastic singles record. And proof that sometimes immaturity can be an artistic strength—as long as you have the songs to back it up.

Notable Textzeile: We're not supposed to Make friends with you Because you look so lonely So we're going to Make friends with you In meinem Kopf ist das eine absolut zeitlose Band. Schon auch im Sinne von zeitlos gut, aber auch: einige Songs könnten aus den 60ern, einige aus den 70ern oder 90ern stammen. Und das ist absolut als Kompliment gemeint. Mein Kopf macht selten Verbindung von "das klingt wie", aber hier schon. Aber immer als: coole einzigartige Interpretation dieses oder jenes Einflusses. Sehr schön das seit langer Zeit Mal wieder ausführlich zu hören.

Supergrass waren immer meine heimliche Britpop-Favoritentruppe, und Gaz Coombes hat ja nun auch eine Karriere als Feuilleton Art Pop Grande (zu Recht). Das Album ist ein bisschen wie Brighton and Hove Albion gut finden: aggressiv nach vorne, extrem frisch, lebt den Außenseiterstatus ein bisschen zu viel (alle sind und bleiben Strange) und werden mit auch mit big money Unterstützung berühmt. Trotzdem freue ich mich wie ein kleines Kind das hier zu hören und finde alles gut.

Häh? Wieso hab ich die bisher dauernd so unterschätzt oder gar nicht als großartige Band in Betracht gezogen. Immer nur "Alright" auf dem Schirm gehabt, fand ich nett - aber der Rest, gerade die Songs bis dahin auf dem Album, gehen ja sowas von steil nach vorn. Großes Like.

I wasn't that intrigued until I hit Alright and I realized I've heard and loved that song many times before. I then cranked the volume way up and listened to the album the way it was supposed to be listened to. Time to go was a great closer for the album

Yeah it was alright

3.5 stars. I approached this with trepidation. I hadn’t heard them before (or so I thought. I see you “Alright”). But I really liked this. Fun, jaunty, loud, but still melodic. Good times.

高噪点britpop？Mixolydian？值得聆听，再次聆听，据说是斯皮尔伯格的最爱？不知道为什么，听着这张唱片写下这段话的时候，想起了高中生的我在一遍遍看Skins的日子，你现在就可以拿起吉他来一段你喜爱的riff

What a great album. So much more energy and punch than it's peers at the time. A lot of noise for a 3 piece, love it.

Definitely one of the better Britpop offerings from this list - even compared to the other Supergrass record here, which I had mostly forgotten about. And while I don't have the most to say about this record, I did thoroughly enjoy my time with it. There is a lot of personality here; it has an old mod and punk rock feel, but it's blended well with the emerging catchiness of alternative rock and pop-punk of the mid '90s. 'Caught by the Fuzz' was an early winner for me, and the most punk rock thing here, with an incredible bassline and catchy vocal harmonization on that bridge. 'Alright' is a pretty huge song from here, and while I've never heard it (I don't think so at least), I can see the appeal. It's a very bright and feel-good song, with the fast piano playing and a very bouncy bassline. 'Strange Ones' was another incredible highlight, just so much energy, and I love how everything slows down early on to make way for these heavy guitars that just pierce through the mix. 'Sitting up Straight' captures everything I love about the popiness of this record, just super catchy and easy to hum along to. 'Sofa' is just another incredible left-turn for the album, breaking out of nowhere into this ethereal psychadelic jam that's about as '60s throwbacky as you can get. This album was just so much fun. It manages to feel like everything that Britpop wasn't around this time: fun, creative, adventurous, and equally enjoyable and catchy.

Die englische Band aus Oxford nahm ihr Debütalbum zwischen Februar und August 1994 im abgeschiedenen Sawmills Studio in Golant, Cornwall, auf, produziert von Sam Williams und veröffentlicht 1995 über Parlophone – mitten im Höhepunkt der Britpop-Welle. Gaz Coombes, Mick Quinn und Danny Goffey waren zu diesem Zeitpunkt kaum über zwanzig, und genau diese jugendliche Ungeduld hört man dem Album in jeder Sekunde an: hektisch, respektlos, mit einem Grinsen im Nacken. Songs wie „Caught by the Fuzz", „Mansize Rooster", „Lenny" und vor allem das übermütige „Alright" wurden zu Hymnen einer Generation, die sich weder für Blurs Ironie noch für Oasis' Pathos entscheiden wollte. Stattdessen bekam man Pop-Punk-Energie, Music-Hall-Anklänge und Falsett-Chöre, die klangen, als hätte man The Who mit Cartoon-Sound-Effekten gekreuzt. Das Tempo lässt kaum eine Verschnaufpause zu, und genau das macht den Reiz aus. Im Rückblick wirkt „I Should Coco" weniger wie ein kalkuliertes Britpop-Statement als wie ein Zufallsprodukt dreier Freunde, die einfach loslegten – und genau diese Unbekümmertheit hat dem Album seine Zeitlosigkeit gesichert. Ein Debüt, das seine eigene Ernsthaftigkeit konsequent verweigert und gerade deshalb bis heute funkelt.

Album 293. I Should Coco — Supergrass (1995) Very nice alternative rock / britpop. I don't wanna hate it, wow, that's a huge compliment. Nevertheless, I don't wanna add most of the songs to my playlist. 4/5 Liked: — Alright — Lose It

I really thought the first song was the horrible histories theme tune. Apart from that I really enjoyed this. It also was mentioned in the most recent bentertainment quiz which was quite a full circle moment. I honestly didn’t even know supergrass but once this started I remember my dad had this cd and we used to listen to it a lot. I liked a lot of the songs on this but by the end I was a bit fed up of it. It’s just super 90s funky rock Brit pop.

This was the definition of just fine, didn’t love it didn’t hate it.

I enjoyed this album a lot more than I expected

I remember this from my youth. It has aged better than many albums from the 90s. Enjoyed it.

I didn't immediately get all the feels I got from *Money* but it still a wildly fun album. Some of the heavier songs sound so compressed for power the honestly sound like a big fuzzy wall of frequencies. (8.7) ★★★★

Good for a britpop album. 4 stars

This is okay. I think I liked it marginally more than the other one, but I gave the same grade. "Alright" and "Lose It" were the best tracks. Maybe he should've coco'ed. 3.5 stars.

Technically a very good Britpop album with some very good hits like Alright and Caught By The Fuzz although the artwork does it a disservice. Very annoying to look at. Album would be better if it was called I Should Bilko and had Sgt. Bilko on the cover and maybe Sgt. Bilko singing some of the songs too.

guapo guapo

Stream of consciousness first impressions: So I didn't actually finish this one, because I got sidetracked. But I listened to about the first half while making dinner. I have never heard of this band and I never would have picked it up based on this cover. But dang, this was fun. I will always have a little soft spot in my heart for youthful pop punk, for the energy and freedom. In 1995 I was listening to my mom's music -- oldies and grown up CCM. I didn't start exploring alt music until a couple years later, and even then I was staying in the Christian music fence. So of course I wouldn't have heard this. But that's the fun thing. I am in my 40s, there is always something to discover in 90s music, and somehow it still taps into nostalgia for a life I didn't exactly live. Anyway, I'll go back and revisit this one in full later. 3.5 stars, rounded up.

Fun, and kinda dark. Feeling lazy about this review.

2/10 from Murray and 5/10 from me. Liked the first track but the rest was a bit drone-y and forgettable. Didn’t find the album very cohesive

Not my thing

Brit pop punk

I liked this. Thought I’d listened to this before but I think maybe it was a different album. Fun pop punk.

Rockcito

A fun album. Good 90s pop rock. Alright

It's cheery Britpop. Each song is good. Nice and up beat.

제대로는 못들었는데 그런데도 좋은 티가 팍팍났어

Not my cup of tea but not bad either liked some songs others didn't like.

Love everything except the voice

Better than most "formative" punk bands here. which isn't much

Id like to know- 9/10 Caught by the fuzz- 9/10 Mansize rooster- 8.5/10 Alright- 8.5/10 Lose it- 8/10 Lenny- 8.5/10 Strange Ones- 8.5/10 Sitting up straight- 9/10 She's so loose- 8/10 Not Supposed to- 7.5/10 Time- 8/10 Sofa- 8/10 Time to go- 7.5/10

A very easy way to exceed expectations is to set them at rock bottom first; the genuinely awful album cover set expectations quite low indeed. When this album turned out to be genuinely quite good, it stunned me. An energetic burst that pulls from punk and ska and is just a lot of fun. Album feels quite front loaded and it does drag a bit in the back half, but still a very good album.

Do I think Supergrass should’ve been more famous than Oasis? No. Do they make the best case for Brit Pop? Yes.

Inicia bien, se vuelve MUY molesto en la mitad y remonta de manera muy cabrona al final con la diversidad de sonido que tiene

Really fun. Some good tracks - nothing exceptional. They know how to make catchy tunes though, and are above some of the other britpop albums on the list so far for certain.

Mes préférés

Álbum curto, mas bastante eficiente em sua proposta, com elementos do que a Inglaterra vivia de melhor, com um cenário do rock efervescente. Melodias agradáveis, ao mesmo tempo com pegadas pesadas nos riffs, há bastante valor harmônico dos instrumentos, com o vocalista se arriscando bastante, sendo inevitável uma comparação com Mick Jagger.

This was a pretty decent album. Definitely seemed a little ahead of it's sound in the mid 90s. Sounds a lot like some of the mid-2000s bands, so I can see that some of those bands were influenced by this album.

Something completely new to me! I don't know that I've ever even heard of Supergrass. This sounds like something I would have enjoyed discovering in my youth. Very pop-punky. It's also very British, but I don't know fully how to explain that.

A few weird songs stopped me from giving it 4 stars

I 90'er-konteksten kan jeg måske godt forstå, at de har fået lidt opmærksomhed for deres bagudskuende lyd, men selvom albummet ikke er dårligt, er det overraskende anonymt. Med undtagelse af hittet. Stor 2'er.

Not a bad option, Britpop for those who dislike the Britpop scene, this is more fun garagey power pop. I don't mind it, have a copy, never listen to it.

It’s alright I guess

This is a very good debut album. I only knew “Alright” (from my beloved Clueless soundtrack) but I will return to this album. Brings together all the fun, quintessentially British stuff I associate with the best of the Beatles, Oasis, and Blur.

it was alright

I’d Like to Know 🌟

This rules, great bit of britpop

Never could really get into this one despite years of trying

More fun than their brit-pop contemporaries. Starts very strong too, catchy poppy 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes, 101/378 (26%) Will I get: Already have

An excellent collection of songs. Brit pop with some edge and plenty of variation across the record. “Alright” really exemplifies that the best tracks here were super ahead of the time

Never heard more than “alright” which is surely a classic, surprised how “libertines” this sounds as a whole if that makes sense. Certainly weaker lyrics but the frantic not-quite-punk sound is there and obviously came first

Obviously heard alright before which is a tune, the rest of this is pretty fun also, might come back to this again 3.5

Children of the Buzzcocks

Definitely did not like that weird minion sounding song. Hard skip there, but this is a good album listen.

Boring background rock but also had a harmonica so that says enough about that

super good album would listen again.

Morceau favori : 7 Stranges Ones Morceaux marquant : 1 I'd Like To Know 2 Caught By The Fuzz 3 Mansize Rooster 4 Alright 13 Time To Go

some tracks are a bit goofy but overall a good discovery

Well, this wasn't what I was expecting at all. I had the idea that these guys were some sort of mid-90s radio-friendly alternative like the Eels or Space or Spacehog or Superdrag or Gorillaz, something like that. I mean I wasn't too, too far off, but the sound is more like Cheap Trick by way of Green Day, ie, hopped up on goofballs. I can't see myself going back to this but it was fun and pretty OK. Essential listen: no Desert island disc: no

"Supergrass? The one hit wonder? Yeah I like that song I guess I might enjoy it." I have never been more surprised or amused listening to any album ever than when I turned this on. The opening track immediately sets the record up perfectly to show the energy, the goofiness, and the angst that this album spews. Supergrass are unironically some great songwriters that manage to tug my brain back and forth between chaos and emotion on every single track. I strangely like the vocals more than I thought, due to this style being very much and obnoxious. Every song is so fun and consistent, I only wish each one was longer. The entire ride is such a banger, with my favorite aspect being the lyric material. Apart from the goofy nonsense, the content perfectly captures the experiences of teenagers; something not many songwriters can achieve with the balances of charm, humor, and emotion. I love the list because it introduces me to things that I would never do a double take when someone mentioned it. After all, just a one hit wonder right?

Неплохой такой позитивненький поп-пост-панк альбомчик. Помимо хитовой песни, есть бодрые панковские композиции и более мелодичненькие такие тоже. Звезд с неба не хватает, но в принципе неплохо

Not the best bit of Britpop, only one good song and that's about it. He did sound a bit like Mick Jagger on a couple of songs though, so that's in his favour.

Apart from alright this album is kinda just generic rock

Half of this album genuinely sounds like it could have been used in an early Guy Ritchie movie, but thats not a bad thing, nor is it surprising considering the title is based on cockney rhyming slang. Aside from "we're not supposed to", its genuinely an enjoyable album to listen to. Particular favorites include "Sofa (Of My Lethargy)", and "Alright", though the whole thing feels like a punk album from the 70s having been transported through time and given a makeover to fit 90s sensibilities. 3.5 stars but have to give 4 due to the rating system I'm working with.

Super fun listen. Obviously have the classic alright which is brilliant. I really enjoyed Time it felt like it had some Beatles influence to me. Instantly added I’d like to know to my saved songs, the backing riff reminds me of the horrible histories theme song but in a good way haha

Not a fan

fun,poppy,fresh

it was kinda ok, but the 10. track was just terrible chipmuck music shit.

Fun music, but did not have a discernable impact for me.

the pitched up parts are very minion of them but fr very ahead of its time, sound veryyyy 2000s despite being a decade early, had no idea the song Alright was from the 90s

3.0 / 5 stars sounds about right for this album. Much better than the traditional Britpop crap from the 90's, which this list absolutely LOVES shoving down our throats. More Power-Pop guitar riffs, and thankfully short songs! Highlights: Alright Caught by the Fuzz Mansize Rooster Lenny Worth a listen? Sure. Worth owning? Maybe. Worth being on this list - debatable.

Pretty goodd

album #106 should be considered as much of a quintessential britpop album as oasis and blue tbqh. captures the specific yet eclectic feeling of uk summer. ꩜ album rating: ★★★⯪☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 983 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 50 (+1 I Should Coco) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 22 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 84

Album #154: Supergrass – I Should Coco ⭐⭐⭐ Alright may well be one of the defining and most popular songs of the '90s. But, I know nothing else by Supergrass What you get here is a real mixed bag. In fact, it's an album of two halves. The first half is very punk rock. It reminded me a lot of The Clash, especially on Caught by the Fuzz. I was surprised by how distorted and fast-paced it was. It's not really what their ubiquitous single would have led me to expect. The problem is that, for me, it just wasn't all that interesting. It has a bit of a "lads" sound to it, which isn't something I really enjoy. Lots of lyrics about how crazy everyone is, but it never actually feels particularly crazy. When you get to Sitting Up Straight, which opens with this really cool transition from church bells into a sombre lone piano, I thought, brilliant, a change of pace. Here we go. But then it just devolves back into the same punk rock sound as virtually everything before it, and I started to get really bored. Thank God things change immediately afterwards with She's So Loose. It's in more of a minor key, with this creepy, reverberated vocal that feels completely fresh compared to everything that came before. It's a great song in its own right. From there, the album closes with a run of melodic, mid-tempo songs that I liked virtually all the way through. They do this style really well. It all feels much more tender and emotive, and I found myself far more engaged with that side of the band. So yeah, the first half really bored me. Except for one major outlier. While I've heard Alright a thousand times over the years, I don't think I'd ever actually listened to it. It really is a perfect pop song. It's totally deserving of its popularity and staying power. It's simple, incredibly catchy, and it'll be stuck in your head for hours afterwards. Any band would be proud to have written it.

Bonkers, fun, zany, not my thing.

I didn’t feel like getting up this morning so I stayed in the hotel room while my family explored Paris. This granted me my first hours of privacy since leaving home, which I used to listen to this album on my phone speaker. I don’t know how starving artists do it - I haven’t eaten in 22 hours and just writing this review seems borderline impossible. I don’t think that Supergrass were ever starving artists, but being a part of the Britpop movement their music serves to represent the English working class of the time - in this way, Britpop helps modern Brits feel human and a part of something greater, which is an exciting sensation for a lot of people and fuels the continued draw of albums like this. Britpop has not yet painted a picture of a human condition I’ve wanted to be tied up in though. Luckily Supergrass are talking about nothing half the time on this album, so in my ears the catchy melodies lead and the lyrics follow. I liked the darker, more abstract stuff (e.g. Lose It) much better than, say, Alright. None of the let’s-all-hold-hands Britishness gets up in my face with this album the way it does with, say, Champagne Supernova. The fun music thereby narrowly avoids ruin. 7/10.

i would also like to know where all the strange ones go. can i rate an album on just two songs? there’s a dog looking longingly at me and then the door. i’m pretty sure i listened to more of this the other day and then forgot to actually rate it? pretty positive about it. caught by the fuzz is quite fun. ok i’ll listen to one more while i get ready to go. think my mind is made up tho. ugh spotify ads. not sure i like the album cover its kinda creepy.

Let's fucking go I was listening to this earlier today Listening notes: According to some youtube video I watched the intro to this first song is the inspiration for the horrible histories theme Forgot how much I liked mansize rooster. Wikipedia says it's about a guy with a huge cock Damn Gaz Coombes really coming straight with the death threats Who the hell are the strange ones I'm a fan of these meter changes Tf is this guest feature from the minions Fucking love this album, it's a slightly eccentric brand of rock that I really enjoy. It's also clear that they're more skilled players than their britpop contemporaries, especially on tracks like I'd Like to Know (fucking banger opener btw, that initial four-song run is fantastic). I don't like the second half of the album as much, but it maintains the high quality of the first half except maybe on We're Not Supposed To 4.8/5

This one is a tired tube ride home after a long day where there's still more to do. 4.2/5

Is it weird to say the biggest hit on this one is my least favorite song on the album

ну таке 3 тіпа як оті група прикольна ну оце божеее санавабіч кадлайксмі

Not my tempo

I never really liked Supergrass. Not sure what it was but something about them never connected with me. The singles have a fun energy and helped define the era. The album tracks are a bit meh.

A CD you could find in most people's collections. Never did it for me, still doesn't, but a bit more appreciation for it now as a quintessential mid-90s indie rock number. Alright was a massive hit and radio staple for years.

It was fine.

What great music. They've gained a fan.

Yeah, these guys are cool. They remind me of the Young Fresh Fellows, a local Seattle band I fanned on faithfully back in the 80’s. So similar, one might say they’re kindred spirits, brothers from other mothers. No? You doubt? Come on… Anything is possible in this big strange world.

Caught off guard by the frenetic energy here. Hard to say it’s not a classic

Sunday, 26 July, 2026 This is…fine? “Lenny” and “Strange Ones” were pretty good. Otherwise, unimpressive.

Not bad, proper english rock

Pretty great brit-pop, loved the aggressive bits. Not really my style but it feels it's trying to be.

Just kind of grand, really?

I was familiar with a couple of the songs, but the album as a whole is not super impressive.

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

This felt like an album built off of one hit.

I was expecting to like this more than I did, but I didn't

Niente di che

Leaning towards 4 but cant

I actually only know the name this time and the genre. They totally passed me by as a child. ---------- Energetic, punky britpop that reminds me of proto-arctic monkeys (although they are southerners). The first two tracks have a manic energy that I love. As we head into Alright I realise I know this song. A piano driven classic which got major radio playtime (and still does). There's also an underlying surf rock vibe to the guitar playing so far. From here the album becomes quite varied, for example the down tempo rock track [Time] feels like a lost track from the 70s with folky leanings and a bluesy beat. This is followed by the dreamy [Sofa] that evokes 60/70s psychedelia in it's soothing vocals and soaring guitar. Underlying all this experimentation is a raw, punk energy that gives them a unique sound. I am astounded these lads never really hit the heights they deserved. This is an unreal debut album.

The beginning of that one song was the original Minions.

i really enjoyed this!! fun silly music that very much tickles my fancy :))

It was okay. Kind of a rollercoaster on deciding if I like it or not. Definitely unsure about the lyrics in We’re Not Supposed To. Cool punk and 80s/90s sound overall though.

Fantastic britpop sound! Jumps around from feeling old school to new school

Quite fun and energetic but not a classic of the era.

Not bad!

Ripper of an album. I only got two listens in during a spastic cleaning session of the house, but it supercharged me. I’ll come back to this! Low 4

Very fun album, I originally rated this a 4 but I have been listening to it more recently and I have to say that it’s really grown on me and I’m updating my rating to a 5 because there’s just wall to wall great songs here that are very memorable, the second half of the album especially is great and finishes strongly. I had heard ‘Alright’ many times but never explored this album before, my favourite track is ‘Sofa (Of My Lethargy)’ as I think it has the most diverse instrumentation of any of these and has some great hooks. FT: Sofa (Of My Lethargy) Rating: 5/5

Ik kende alleen het nummer 'Alright' en na het luisteren van het gehele album vind ik dat misschien wel het minste nummer. Wat een vibe!

Thank you for the energy. 6/10

Awesome album - so much energy and rhythm without sacrificing melody. Very few bands play this fast and still go for harmony. And of course I like his weird voice who wouldn't.

Excelente descoberta. Não conhecia a banda, muito menos o disco. Gostei demais de banda e do disco. Eu já conhecia a música alright.l;

tuve prejuicios per estsaba piola, lo escucharia en un viaje familiar

The clearest separation between subjectivity and objectivity I have had before in terms of albums, undeniably great music just doesn't quite speak to me. I have some friends like that and they are great, the ones who don't expect more than can be given, the ones you text after 3 months and everything is still the same, no new expectation and no resentment. I have this same relationship to supergrass and it is a lovely and amicable thing.

Nostalgic song (Alright).

Not terrible

Automatic +1 star for "Alright" which is a perfect song. Otherwise perfectly inoffensive but generic

I was expecting to kind of not like this cus it's historically not really a style of music I prefer, but it was actually so much fun. I'm nostalgic for that mid-early 2000s sound I guess (I was ~10 at the time).

This album flows pretty well sonically, and although it isn't a concept album each song seems to make sense in the order it is including the most popular "Alright". Due to commercialization and overplay that song started to be an automatic skip for me but i really appreciated it in the album. This is an album that benefitted from me speed walking on the treadmill because it is an energy album. While it seems to lean a little on classic rock tropes and speed changes it does so with an undeniable energy that is contagious. Heard of super grass forever but this finally got me into them 20 years later.

Pre Listen: Never heard of them, but the album cover is giving King Crimson vibes. No expectations. Notable Tracks: Alright - Oh I do know this song. I think I've either heard it in a dozen commercials, or one commercial I've heard dozens of times. Either way, it's sounds corporate to me now because of the association. Also haha they said the British slang for 'Cigarette'. We're Not Supposed to Go - What were they cooking here? Least favorite song. Sofa (Of My Lethargy) - My favorite song on the album. Just has good vibes, I like the psychedelic part in the 2nd part of the song. Post Listen: There were some real catchy songs on here, and I did like the album, but I wouldn't call it super memorable. I think this is another one of those albums I feel a little conflicted on. They had a very 90's sound to them, their instrumentation was pretty good, their lyrical work was alright, and the vocalist was pretty good too. It had a good variety of songs, none lasted longer than they needed to, it was quite solid overall. As said though, I just don't think the album was super memorable? I listened to this album in parts throughout the day, and none except Sofa and Alright stuck with me afterwards. I think I'll give this album a 4/5 for the same reasons I gave Franz Ferdinand a 4; it may not have stuck or impacted me much, but I can feel the talent coming in through the music, and appreciate it. 4/5

Just such mediocre Britpop. It hasn’t aged well at all. It didn’t help that I listened to the entirety of this while parked in halted highway traffic. I just feel like I’ve heard this exact sound a hundred times before in a hundred better albums. Meh.

Nothing original here

Knock off Oasis, so two layers of overrated. I don’t understand why this is on a list of earth shattering albums other than the British having an exaggerated sense of self importance. Perfectly mediocre

I stand by that this is such a Sirius Black album. Also, very chill rock vibes, totally the style of music I want to get into more.

Had not listened to this album in a long time but remember being a fan of it from when it came out in the mid 90s. But this album has aged much better than its contemporaries. This was a really fun enjoyable album that bounces along at breakneck speed. You can see influences like Buzzcocks, Kinks, Beatles and others but it's given a fresh vibrant feel, quite am achievement for 3 young teens from Oxford. I was glad to listen again, it put a smile on my face this morning. 4 stars.

Class album. Saw them play it live on the 30th anniversary tour at The Barrowlands.

Cool album. Not for me if I am being honest. Maybe listening to it at another point in my life could work. This is not the point. Not my style, not as cohesive as it could be. Pure chaos which is okay but not my vibe.

Rock que no soy fan de nuevo

youthful energy not beating around the bush absurd summer vibes

Better than I thought it will be

What a youthful album

Pleasant surprise, I've always thought this band was only a one-hit wonder.

It's...fine. It's alright. It should coco.

Saw it performed live in full. Added a lot to my enjoyment

nice album, breat band

I do believe I know the song Alright. Surprised to hear it on this album with which I was completely unfamiliar from a band of which I thought I was similarly ignorant. And here I will say, today, I appreciate the British bias of “the list/ book.” Thank you for introducing me to this! Funny, I know these folks were very young, perhaps truly adolescent when they made this album. Yasi Salek on her podcast Bandsplain has said that there is an element of rock that makes it forever the domain of the teenager. And perhaps some of us continue to connect to our adolescence through our love of certain kinds of rock. I know we grow out of some of the things we loved as kids. But I, for one, have not stopped loving the hard offerings of youth of just about any generation since the doors of rock were thrown open. As I age I think I have become more conscious of WHY I love what I do, and I have become aware of WHAT a bright new band has done well. But I still love music that is probably considered far too young for me. So I thought this was just about a perfect album. From the rocking opener to the closer that was a reprise of Time becoming Time to Go. This album had me and kept me in its orbit cover to cover. 5 Boolean: TRUE

Not my favorite style

the album makes me feel free and youthful

One iconic song, one decent album

7/10 Growing up in Britain in the 90s, it was hard to miss Supergrass. Yes, they weren’t the big hitters like Oasis and Blur, but they happily sat in the melee of bands just below that level of success and did pretty well for themselves, with some pretty big hits and a a dedicated following. Not being much of a brit-pop guy, I never delved any deeper than the, admittedly very good, radio hits, so imagine my surprise when listening to this album for the first time. It’s not really a brit-pop record at all, rather being a really solid blend of punk, new-wave and alt rock, with a good ear for melodic hook writing thrown into the mix. Gaz Coombes is also remarkably young here, at only 18 years of age when the record was released. What most surprised me about this record is how much punch and drive it had, particularly from the rhythm section, which largely kept the record storming along at a clip. Things often felt like they were well controlled, but only just, as the frantic energy of the performances gave a real zest to the songs. I think the fact that they were so young probably does show a little bit in the slight inconsistency of the tracklist, as they do bounce around between moments of cleaner, radio-friendly brit-pop stuff and stuff that owes far more of it’s sound to the grubby punk aesthetic. What does hold this together stylistically is the quality of the melodies, across both the vocal writing and some of the excellent guitar riff construction that takes the lead here and there. It has enough pop-music edge top make it an easy listen, while having enough edge and bite to make it interesting. They also don’t seem to be taking themselves seriously at all, but never to the detriment of their songwriting. That can be a fine balance to strike, but I feel like they managed to do that effectively, with the little sillier moments well balanced against the more serious work. For me, things did start to drift a little towards the end, and when they settled a little bit more into more standard brit-pop sound, I did find it a bit more bland, but I was pleasantly surprised by this, and I’m sure it’ll earn itself a few more spins in the future. I'd Like To Know - Like a blend of punk and new wave, the band come roaring out of the traps. It’s fun, heavy and has simple yet effective melodic hooks. The driving weight of the band against the discordant keyboard line gives this a slightly weird edge, but it works really well in the context of the track. It’s frantic, but feels just about in control and it doesn’t take itself too seriously, which is a great start. Caught By The Fuzz - This has a slightly darker, more oppressive vibe, but with a little knowing wink that doesn’t drag it down. The bass playing is great and the crunchy, distorted wash of the band set against the flurry of the drum performance makes it really engaging. Again, the melodies are straightforward, but engaging, giving another punky yet poppy piece of work. Mansize Rooster - This is the most brit-pop track of the album thus far, but it’s still got a punky edge, with the brit-pop edge coming from the staccato rhythm guitar and more sweeping lead lines. Again the bass playing is excellent and reminds me a touch of Mike Dirnt’s work for Green Day. There are some cool rhythmic chops in this and they still hold it all together with great melodic vocal lines and a bit of youthful swagger in the delivery. More great stuff. Alright - Here’s the big hit. We’re definitely in brit-pop land now, particularly with the rhythmic flow of the vocal against the piano.It shifts brilliantly through its modulations and they absolutely nail the melodic writing here. It’s super infectious and while it’s not as grubby as the earlier tracks, it’s still got swagger and an edge of bite to the vocal delivery. Tonally, it’s probably the least interesting of the tracks so far, but they get the hooks so right and smash it through in three minutes, so who cares? Lose It - And we’re back to that punkier style now. It’s dirty and has good drive, but there’s enough of a pleasing legato melodic hook from the vocal to give it a bit of subtlety to go with it’s more feisty core. Lenny - Wahey, this has great riffs, particularly the main riff that runs twice round, second time with a really cool harmonisation. They sound like they’re having a lot of fun with this, particularly on the guitars, and this falls nicely in between a grunge and a pop-punk sound, but with that little British twist that separates it from the core sound of those genres. Short but sweet. Strange Ones - There are some excellent changes of pace and intensity in this track, while it maintains momentum really well. It’s got a tongue-in-cheek boisterousness to it that I like, but it does perhaps wander a touch in places, feeling a little less focused than other tracks. The melodies are decent, but it’s not quite as hooky as the best work and it does get a touch repetitive here and there. Still not bad, mind. Sitting Up Straight - More pop-punky goodness now. It’s more frantic stuff, with attitude at the forefront, but cool pop-melodic vocal work through the choruses. It’s brash and fun and doesn’t outstay its welcome. She's So Loose - I think the harmonic blend here is very good, giving it quite a different feel to most of the rest of the album, while the production helps to keep the vibe consistent. It feels a bit more patient and less directly intent on hook writing, but still has a bit of something about it that makes it musically engaging. On first wash, I don’t love this, but it does feel like the kind of song that would be a grower over time. We're Not Supposed To - They really don’t take themselves that seriously, do they? It’s quite charming. This is a fun little pop-rock number, but with an extra silly edge due to the studio fuckery that they throw over it with the almost-chipmunk vocals. And again, it might be distracting, except that it’s two minutes long and doesn’t hang around long enough to lose its charm. Time - Again, we’re drifting a little more brit-pop here, but it’s got a nice swing and swagger to it. I’m not so keen on the more drawling vocal style that Gaz Coombes uses here and it’s a little bit samey throughout, not having as much range to the feel and vibe as the better tracks on the record. It’s just a littl bit bland, really. Sofa (Of My Lethargy) - While this is another fairly restrained effort, it feels like it’s got a bit more range and development of the musical themes and has a stronger and more interesting vibe than the last track. There’s decent drive to the rhythm section, but an airy, laid-back swagger to the guitar and organ work. They do find space for a bit more intensity in places, which juxtaposes nicely against those calmer moments. It perhaps loses its way a touch towards the end, but not in an unpleasant way, more in a winding down way. Time To Go - And we close out with the very definition of a closing track. It’s pleasant enough, and it’s melodically decent, but it’s not vastly interesting.

Pretty good! I actually knew one of the songs. Nice little grungy album.

This is such a fun album. It’s always been underrated in my opinion

7,50/10 Buen album, me gusto bastante. Se me paso rápido, no me aburrio en ningún momento

surprisingly creative, good energy but old as frick so not playlist worthy. best thing i have reviewed on here though

Lively mid 90s Brit pop rock but standard stuff.

4 1/4 stars

Buen disco, full manija y veré más de la banda. We're not supposed to está medio falopa y a partir de ahí le bajan a las revoluciones pero son los últimos temas nomás. Sape

Some pretty good brit pop/ alt rock for a debut album from a bunch of teenagers. They keep the style shifting around from a frantic train out of control to more garage grunge to slow deep rock sounds that its interesting the whole way through. They also throw in lots of song transitions which helps the album flow smoothly. I only knew Alright from before this and didn't recognize the bad name but I thought they put out some really good tracks and proved their chops.

A lot of this is really good but it just doesn't quite grab me. I had a good time listening to it but I can't picture myself seeking it out later even though I like some similar acts.

I could probably see liking this more than I did. I could also see finding it more irritating than I did. wobbling between a two and a three.

Very cool album! I was impressed by how good it sounded. Seemed to anticipate some of the early 2000s back to basics rock.

Loved some songs, the early 2000s vibes were so good, the sound in 1995 would have sounded so fresh

I had fun

My expectations were very low based on the album cover and description but gahh damn. I enjoyed this. Good catchy tunes strong guitar and I didn’t ethane the vocals And then that sofa song turns into some Pink Floyd Grateful Dead groove action. I think I liked this album

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

One of the other reviews said that this album/group was "criminally underrated" in the 90s and I have to say I agree with that 100%. How have I never heard of these guys before?!

Interessant, dat eigenlijk het begin een soort hardrock album is, maar dan opeens krijg je Alright en dat doet me ontzettend denken aan The Beach Boys. Beetje die strand/surfrock vibes. Dat is voor mij ook meteen het hoogtepunt, heb al gezien dat deze band 2 nummers in de lijst heeft staan en dat lijkt me nogal overdreven. Het is een prima rockband hoor, daar niet van, maar ik hoor niet helemaal wat hier nu zo vernieuwend aan is. Instrumentaal zit het goed in elkaar, met wat versnellingen en tempowisselingen hier en daar, maar het grootste gedeelte is 'gewoon' rock. 13 in een dozijn rock, als je het mij vraagt. Dusja, dit voelt wel weer heel erg als het zoveelste voorbeeld van een album dat misschien wel weer alleen op de lijst staat omdat er een heel bekend nummer op staat. Been there, done that en de rest van het album is gewoon niet zo goed. Standaard britpop album, ik ben er niet weg van, maar snap ergens wel de appeal. Het is vooral instrumentaal wel wat strakker dan de meeste britpop albums, maar ik merk dat de zang en het geheel me gewoon niet zo pakt. FAVO: Alright, Strange ones

Aye it was better than their other album I'll give them that. Not really my kinda thing but it's fine. It's fineee.

Não deveria estar na lista

fav songs: lenny time distortion, cheeky, static 40/100

not for me but a bit fun

Britpop and indie rock built from jangling guitars, punchy drums, and high-energy vocals feels like being stuck in a loud arcade where a group of excited teenagers is having the time of their lives while you’re mostly waiting for the noise to stop—bright, fast, and initially attention-grabbing, but for me quickly wearing thin. The album commits fully to its youthful momentum, yet that same energy becomes repetitive and emotionally flat when it doesn’t land.

I have always liked Supergrass after seeing them open for Pearl Jam in 2001 or so. They get lumped into Britpop but I think they just write some great catchy songs. This one is not an exception. I had never heard it and I think Caught by the Fuzz is great. I can relate to it. It a funny and fun song. Alright is just pure pop bliss but all these songs rock. They are just good songwriters and players this is a good album and I’m glad it’s on the list. I would never had heard it

Not bad, but not to my liking

I'm glad I'm doing a 2nd listen; just another English alt. band now has 3-4 songs in my rotation and the whole album is growing on me. Solid 3. Lose It, Strange Ones, Time, Sofa (Of My Lethargy) if you're wondering.

I think I liked it can’t remember

Lots of cool songs, but it's just too... busy? I don't know. Alright.

Man I was skeptical going into this. British rock band in the mid-90s? Yeah yeah by now I know what I’m fucking getting. But holy shit! This impressed me again and again. First off, they play with major passion and energy, something rare to find in your Oasises and Verves and whatnot. Second off, especially into the second half of the album, they’ve got real range. Getting more acoustic and jammy. I was very impressed by this, probably mainly due to the contrast with their Britpop peers who I largely hate, but also just cuz the songwriting is on point. Must-listen #367.

Solid 90s britpop album, a lot of energy especially in early songs but I think it shines more in the slower sections. 3.5/5 stars

I’d like to know : 9/10 Caught by the fuzz : 7/10 Mansize rooster : 9/10 Alright : 9/10 Lose it : 9/10 Lenny : 8/10 Strange ones : 6/10 Sitting up straight : 9/10 She’s so loose : 5/10 We’re not supposed to : 6/10 Time : 9/10 Sofa : 9/10 Time to go : 9/10

Tiene canciones increíbles como también tiene canciones insoportables

It's insane 10/10

Maybe I should coco but it was only so so

not mad at the brits

This is too much for me

A solid Brit pop album, I was already familiar with their biggest hit “alright”, this album has aged really well, but I feel like it’s missing something which leaves this with a solid 4 stars

Why is In It For the Money on this list? I got that album before this one and it did not leave much impression on me besides thinking Supergrass are kinda mid. However, I had a totally different reaction to this album and really liked it. Supercross aren't mid, I was just listening to the wrong album. Favorite Track - Alright Least Favorite Track - We're Not Supposed To ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Alvin and the chipmunks featured on We're Not Supposed to Faves: Alright Lose It Lenny She's so loose Time I actually really liked every song except the chipmunk one

It's fun, it's energetic, it's 90s britpop. It's lost on me why I should hear this album as opposed to the hundreds of others from its time.

Unusually good britpop album. I really liked it and the hit song is always a right fit for a party. 3/5

A crazy fast and energetic record. I felt infused with electricity listening to it.

Un 4.6 pour cet album explosif. Bien sur il y a quelques fillers mais ce qui est bon l'est tellement que ca merite un 5, meme si c'est juste pour augmenter la moyenne

Le meilleur album que j'avais jamais entendu des 90's. 4.49 étoiles

Idag lærte jeg Alright av Supergrass. Klar for musikkquiz! Mesteparten av det som høres mest ut som power pop synes jeg blir litt smakløs rock uten hverken edge eller hooks. Liker skiva bedre når de lager mer melodiske tracks. She's So Loose er nok sporet jeg likte best, mens Sofa er et annet exempel på at de er best når de coolern litt. Outroen til låta er litt sånn jazzy psych som bringer tankene til det beste av the Doors uten at det faktisk høres ut som the Doors. Mulig jeg prøver å gjenoppsøke denne etter hvert; føler den har rom for å gro på meg.

Hørt en del på "Alright" og "Pumping On Your Stereo" og i tillegg The Hotrats (særlig coveren av "Milkshake". Men tror dette er første gangen jeg hører en hel plate av Supergrass. Fornøyelig album, litt beatlesesque og bare good vibes. Må ha vært et enormt bra liveband i sin tid. Heia britpop

fun and I liked the sounds of it, but a bit annoying

Fits right in the period and was going under the radar but is a really great album.

Got nervous when it mentioned "brit-pop" in the genre, but luckily this leans heavy into the punk. Recognized the band immediately, but couldn't put my finger on it. Then Alright came on. "Ahh those guys". Tossing that song onto the playlist.

Not bad. "Alright" was a blast from the past I had forgotten about. This, I think, is a record that if you loved that single, you'd probably be very happy with the rest of the album. For me it's not quite a 4, but it's better than your typical 3, so I'll give it the benefit.

Better than I remember at the time it came out

Very fun alternative/punk-infused Britpop. Nothing mind-blowing but fun to listen to all the way through.

Incredibly well designed and executed britpop album. Where was this when I needed it in the 90s? Why didn’t they enjoy more success in the US? We may never know the answers to these questions. I hoped to discover some great music on this project, and I have. A five star album from a band I only heard about in passing. Highly recommended. 5 stars

This record is energetic and captures the coming of age feeling almost perfectly. While the second half wasn’t that great, the beginning was actually insane and sooo fun, the songs varied from one another while still creating a cohesive whole. The riffs on this album are catchy and the vocalist embodies the teenage spirit perfectly!

One super famous song and the rest of it is a bit weird but I would listen to it.

The band that evolved the madchester scene into the late 90s. Good fun, good tunes. Lenny is an absolute banger

What a great surprise this was. I knew Supergrass were considered by many an “underrated” Brit-Pop band on the 90s and this album puts me firmly in that camp, it was a fantastic listen.
