This is all right - nothing to write home about, honestly.
Brit rock with a more punk sound. Favorite Track: Alright or Sofa
Aggravating.
pretty meh
Fabulous. Loved the whole album
A light, fun sound but surprisingly layered if you listen closely. but just not reallly my thing
Quite a gun bright sound, I enjoyed
I had never heard of Supergrass before. The record isn't bad—a colorful mix of punk, Britpop, and the Beatles.
So british
Loved this one. It sounds like all different eras of music are coming together. It's timeless!
Fun listen
I really like it! Listened twice. punky bops
propulsive and fun!
Loved it. So much energy and fun
You shouldn't judge a book by its cover but I really dislike this album cover. At least the music is good.
I liked about half of it. The other half not so much. My favorites were She’s so Loose and Sofa (Of My Lethargy)
Loved this when it came out. Forgot how good it is.
Have loved their second album for years. But for some reason I never listened to this, their debut, before now. On first listen (on Friday), I didn’t find the appeal - too much like early 80s punk for my liking, and Tracks 1-3 all sounded like one long single song). But liked it more by Sunday. And Alright is an anthem obviously.
Good album overall, but some tracks hugely overplayed.
Love this album and not even their best.
A couple of great songs but little else that grabbed me.
6.5/10
Eu amei esse áudio!
Sounds like the kind of stuff you would hear in a millennia burger joint. I eat up millennial burger shop music. I love myself an upbeat album.
Fun and I love the track Alright.. but overall a little messy but its got the energy
3.5
Имэджн написать этот шедевр в 17-18 лет. Включая песню о том, как тебя поймали с травой в 15. А до этого уже успеть потурить со своей первой группой в 14. Гений. Газ - краш номер один.
понравилось, даже дваждый переслушал, 4 поставлю, не alright единым. я бы даже сказал другие песни мне больше понравились
There was a lot to like here. The album isn't perfect or even close, but it's human and isn't afraid of what it is.
I like britpop what can I say? I really don't get all the fuss about it. I guess I have only heard the most popular so far, but still, this is great stuff. Alright comes out of nowhere. It sounds nothing like the rest of the album but is the only one I knew before. I will definitely be revisiting this.
Fun! Nice British indie. Recording and mix sounds trash though
Two Supergrass albums on the list maybe feels like one too many, but it's hard to argue against the energy and fun here, and they were still pretty much kids when they made it. Great live back in the day too.
Never heard of them, but liked them a lot. Had a lot of energy.
didn't like every song, but overall really nice
I liked this. I enjoy Britpop from the 90's. I love and own Alright. I liked the songs Strange Ones and We're Not Supposed To.
A kind of goofy, tongue-in-cheek image and a kind of goofy best-known single - Alright - does I Should Coco a huge disservice. Supergrass were, somewhat unfortunately, cast as the cheeky chappy, Cockney knees-up clown princes of Britpop, when their debut long-player is a mature and fully-realised mash up of punk and psychedelic pop. I Should Coco is light-hearted without being lightweight, displaying a genuine feel for melody and well-deployed arrangements, resulting in a big sound for a youthful trio. Sofa (Of My Lethargy) is an absolute pop-psych gem amongst a selection of spiky, energetic offerings which are equally effective, if a little more "of their time". Much more than Britpop also-rans.
We are young we run free
solid enough 2nd tier Britpop, could have been a 4 but let itself down with some nonsense towards the end
Fine, nothing grabbed me (but Alright is a tune)
I only like the one song on the album, rest not so much!
Very good energy and pace. ★★★
chewsday innit
This is great. I knew the single, Alright, the rest i knew nothing about. I'm a little dirty that I missed the boat on this one. Really good britpop
Not quite in my wheelhouse but I can't deny I enjoyed every song.
Personal enjoyment: 4/5 Relevance to this list: 2/5
Discovery from this thing
Álbum legal até, mas n achei tudo isso.
Just riffs, hooks and energy for 40 minutes! Flashes of The Kinks and The Rolling Stones and others all over it! HELL yeah.
Fun listen for sure. Very 90’s. Probably sounds even better with crisp cold Zima. 4.5⭐️
Spent half the runtime reading about Cockney rhyming slang on Wikipedia. I NOW know why Brick Top tells that one kid he's gonna cut off his 'Jacobs' in the cinematic masterpiece Snatch. But anyway........this is way better than "Only It For the Money". Not sure if I was just in a bad mood that day, or that this seems a bit more punkish than Britpop-ish, but I really liked this one.
Surprised I've never listened to this album. Has a similar feel to other 90s pop bands like "Weezer" and "Presidents of the United States of America". A good rock album.
I started listening to this and really didn't think it was any good at the beginning. The first three songs were pretty bad and my instant thought was, "I've never heard of these guys and now I know why." Then Alright came on and I was like, "I've heard this song!" And it was almost like the album changed at that point from being terrible to having some value. The songs just got better. Not that it was ever amazing, but Alright, Lose It, Time, She's So Loose, and Lenny were all solid tracks. 3 stars.
muy bacano la vdd
It’s fun, some really catchy tunes. I think this probably made a big impact in the mid-90s garage rock revival type era.
so fun!
fresh air
For britpop, it's decent.
Damn fine alternative brit pop that doesn't sound too dated with mostly lean 2-3 minute tracks. Now, that's what I'm talking about!
Fun album. Derived from mid-60s British Invasion, specifically the Kinks, they seem like Green Day from across The Pond. Lots of youthful energy in a pop-punk style. Ply’s they have a song that shares my name, so they got that going for them.
Heck yeah. I love these guys. This album is great, but my favorite album of theirs is In It For The Money. Their other albums are also pretty solid. I saw them in concert back in 2003ish on their tour for Life On Other Planets and that was a great show.
Fun! I knew Alright and maybe a couple others, but the whole thing was a good time.
I recently decided that, after this project, I’m going to put all the 4s and 5s on my vinyl “to buy” list. Looking at this album through this lens: I liked it, but don’t need it on vinyl. That a three.
British alt-rock
Labai užvedantis albumas.
3.5
6.0/10
This is better than i want it to be. It’s not the kind of music I like (lightly punk inspired happy punk). But the sheer joy & energy they play with earns them a 3. Wish i liked the genre better.
Mid.
Solid 90s alt rock sound. But come on… we really have room for 2 “Supergrass” albums with some of the stuff that’s left off this list???
It was cool! one track really stood out for me but i dont think i'll be going back to this album much
Love the song Alright and the rest of the album does not disappoint
Solid album. Dont know if i would listen to it of my own volition but i enjoyed a lot of the songs. Long term fan of the song alright and also really liked the first song, id like to know
I really enjoyed several of the songs. Alright and Were not suppose to were my favorites
An interesting mix of rock, and pop. Pretty good.
Interessante
#953. This was always destined to be shampoo commercial music. 3/5: something.
Kinda wish each song was about 10% stronger.
super fun listen!
wish this were like 10-20% more punk
A fun album that probably doesn't belong on this list, by my reckoning.
Caught by the Fuzz Mansize Rooster Alright
Not too bad for britpop, some high energy rock songs here.
Mais um álbum que não consigo avaliar. Minha mente não consegue pensar em nada. Muito parecido com o que já ouvi antes. Nem a música mais famosa se destacou pra mim, mas reconheço que é um som bom.
Achei bacabinha, divertido de ouvir, mas nada de mais também. Eles parecem estar se divertindo tocando, até adicionei algumas. Se tivesse mais algumas pica, dava pra pensar num 4, mas é um 3 bem 3 mesmo. Bem na média.
A surprisingly good English indie rock record. Wasn’t super excited to start, but there’s some pretty great grooves, production, and songwriting here. Will probably listen again.
Pretty nice.
Leuk album met natuurlijk dat ene hitje Alright
Standard Britpop not very challenging but not offensive to listen to.
Another mid-90s poppy, punky, dance-y power trio band. This album has the single "Alright" which was used in the movie Clueless, and in an overplayed advertisement for some big company I don't remember. Reminds me a little of Los Campesinos or Bis only without the twee.
A couple good ones but a lot of mid ones.
Really enjoyed my time here, especially with the harder tracks like the run of “Lose It,” “Lenny,” and “Strange Ones,” some great bass lines in there. Didn’t enjoy myself with the slower, more poppy tracks like “Alright,” and the run from “We’re Not Supposed To,” “Time,” and “Sofa (of My Lethargy)”. Closer to a 4,5
I enjoyed this album. I liked their sound and their style. Fun!
Me gustó más de lo que pensé que me iba a gustar. De todas formas no me parece ninguna locura, es super tranka, va bien de fondo, linda música. 7,5/10
Classic
Not bad, felt a little different than the other britpop we’ve had but there were no standouts for me. Jangly and British.
A little less pop and a lot more Brit than most of the other Britpop bands of the time. Definitely a harder edge. Some throwbacks to the punk forefathers but I also hear some David Bowie influence.
Very 60s influenced. Fine but not memorable. I'd prefer Oaisis.
Easy to put into your pipe and smoke. Noisy and psychedelic, but also no-frills and raucous like all the best Stones albums are. What a winner, hooks on hooks and riffs on riffs.
**An ok album
It was a fun listen. Not for my tastes necessarily yet fun. Never heard of the band though.
hmm 2
I always do like when an album has a song that you’ve heard a million times but never knew the origin of I did like this one for the most part, there’s some nice songs on here, just some good ole alternative with an aggressively British spin. Alright is super catchy (even though apparently the band hates it and refuse to play it at their shows) and most of the rest of the setlist is above average. There’s some solid guitar riffs in there, the vocals grew on me even though I usually don’t care for vocalists with a cartoonish British accent, and it really does have a lot of soul; it just feels personal at times Biggest two problems I have with this album are the variety and one particularly nasty song. I don’t think in a vacuum the variety is awful, but skip to the middle section of every song and tell me they don’t all sound exactly the same. The song is question, We’re not Supposed To, is just awful, truly bad enough to bring down the album as a whole. Respect to them for collaborating with a musical group as influential as Alvin and the Chipmunks, but man what the hell was that. At least it was over quick Definitely more good than bad in this one, but I don’t think anything in this one really makes it stand out from the swaths of 90s alternative other than the one big hit.
Way better than I thought! Some good tunes on there. It's got a really kinetic energy without sounding sloppy which so many other groups fail at. Decent variety too. I'm definitely checking out some of their other stuff.
Overall, a great sounding album. My only gripe is that a lot of the songs kind of sound the same or have the same vibe to it and that’s something I hate albums. I need variety in my music.
It’s albums like this that reminds me why I started this challenge in the first place. I remember I always listened to the same handful of songs. That, unfortunately, led me to become fairly insulated, only listening to the same stuff over and over to a sickening amount, and it got boring. But I still wasn’t willing to put in the effort to look into every new release. That’s why I started this list, and with this list the most shocking revelation was that I really like 90s BritPop. And this is no exception. I think it’s a pretty regular occurrence when talking about rock music to hear about how impressive it is that an artist recorded an album when he was young, but it’s pretty fun to hear an album that unmistakably sounds like it was recorded by a bunch of young people and could only have been recorded by a bunch of young people. It's just got that energy, exuberance, hopefulness, feeling of invincibility, whatever you want to call it. It's infectious. Apparently Steven Spielberg saw the "Alright" music video and offered to produce a Monkees style television show, which has to mean something.
Bisschen wierd aber irgendwo zwischen komplett durchgedrehten Stones und eher zahmen indierockern von viel später - gefällt mir ganzngut, kommt aber nicht auf meine Liste weil so gut isses dann doch nicht. Allright ist von denen?!
13 songs Added to liked: -Alright (knew the song)
Solid album full of high energy songs that switch it up quite a bit. You could tell they really enjoyed making this.
What an opener. Perked up when Alright came on because of course I've heard it but didn't know who it was or that it'd be on here. Such a departure from the songs before and after it but still good of course. Lenny is great, Strange Ones is made for me, She's So Loose is great. You even get exit music. Another case of being rounded up to a 5 from somewhere above a 4
v fun, high energy record. i am def guilty of only knowing "alright" from a car commercial or something but it isn't even the standout track of this album imo. i can see myself returning to most of these songs, particularly the first 2/3 of this album. i'd give it a 4.5 if i could, but i can't in good conscience give this a 5 for the rancid minion voice song. fav: lose it
I liked it, but its not something that will be going in the rotation. Alright is a banger though, and so is the second to last track. Thought a lot of the vocal delivery sounded like The Monks and it kinda flicked me.
This was fun! Also led to This Indecision, McRad, which I liked, too.
Bright and fun, just like the lead single. Will have on regular rotation to cheer myself up. Need to spend more time with it. I suspect my rating will go up on it.
fiyahhh
music is love
This was pretty okay. Not sure I'll go back to it much, but 3.5-ish
As much s I love Supergrass, I've seen them multiple times, the stuff they did later on is what I fell for. This is a good britpop album with some outstanding tracks, but a great album it is not.
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.
Sometimes you can record lightning in a bottle
Day 43 — Supergrass — I Should Coco (1995) Listened: May 14–22, 2026 Genre: Britpop / Indie Rock / Power Pop Vibe: Loud, fast, and irreverent — three teenagers pulling from the Kinks, early Beatles, and the Buzzcocks simultaneously without picking a lane, and somehow making it work. Highlights: • I'd Like to Know • Mansize Rooster • Alright • Strange Ones • She's So Loose ★ Time • Sofa (Of My Lethargy) Impression: Refreshing after a rough stretch of albums. The genre-hopping energy kept it interesting — punk one minute, pop-funk the next. Alright is the obvious standout but Time is the one that stuck. Enjoyable, unpretentious, and exactly what it needed to be. Rating: 3.4/5 Keep songs? Yes Revisit album? Yes
🎧I find this music somewhat annoying
Is it the Swingin' 60s or Britpop 90s?? Love the fun sound with clever blue notes and kooky chord progressions. Enjoyed rocking out to the high energy and groovy vibes. 5/5
Decent alternative rock album.
I have always thought "Alright" was pop-rock perfection (shout out to the "Clueless" soundtrack) and I was glad to discover that the rest of the album is, while not as good as that, enjoyable basically throughout. Just kids in their early 20's making fast, somewhat loud, fun, silly pop music for people to bob their heads to and have a good time. No concerns about sticking to one genre or sound; no fear of experimenting even when those experiments don't work; just trying out different things and seeing what happens. This is probably an album that only a bunch of kids this age could make, and I am glad that they did.
I hate listening to things i would've loved as a teen, i still really enjoyed it though! Very great britpop :p
Solid 4
This was fine. I expected to hate it as it is britpop and I usually don't like it that much, but I didn't mind this. Nothing exciting at all, I wouldn't turn off the radio if this came on, but I wouldn't search for it myself.
alright
A catchy album, unfortunatly it's not really my cup of tea because there're a lot of sounds at once. But cool music though.
Amazing!!!
Overall too Gaga. Because of the well-known "Alright" I give it the weak three stars. 2,5
Had like 2 or 3 great songs the rest I wouldn’t say is as good. 6/10
merke schon, dass ich mit dem album erst warm werden muss. Aber bis dahin sag ich, dass es sich nicht so originell anhört. es ist bisschen mutiger oder dringender als andere Alben aber sonst klingt es wie ich mich jede andere Britische idie Rock/Pop Band vorstelle. Und das Cover sieht halt realtalk aus wie gefurzt
Ein paar interessante Melodien, die teilweise sogar sehr catchy sind (und 'Alright' natürlich, banger) aber sonst sehr unspektakuläres album
Rock do bom, apesar de eu n gostar muito achei legal
отличная штука
super genial
me gusto, pero mas como para cuando una va en carro que cuando uno trabaja
Esta bien, nada del otro mundo. Tiene un tema muy conocido que fue interesante verlo en su habitat natural. Cuando recién lo arranqué pense que me iba a gustar mucho mas de lo que finalmente gustó. Si tuviera medias estrellas sería 3.5. No queda guardado.
This is what rock music should be. It’s rough around the edges, but still catchy and well executed.
Alright may be the only reason so many people know about this album, and for the most part I would say that is pretty valid, but the 1001 Albums to Hear Before You Die list thinks this is essential listening so I guess I'll have to give it a listen now... Supergrass is not a band I am super familiar with and after hearing this project I don't think it will ever be one I will be super into as their Britpop sound is quite basic if I am being honest. Outside of the iconic Alright I'd say that She's So Loose and Time are the only two other songs here worth listening to as everything else is just good but not much else. Also what the fuck was We're Not Supposed To? That song sounds so out of place and like such a drastic shift in tone/style that it throws off anything this album had going for it in a heartbeat. I Should Cuco is a solid album but far from anything to write home about and tell people they need to hear. It is good, but that's about it man.
Pretty good but not as good as their album I got from here the other day.
I suppose this is Brit Pop. Alright jumped out - an era defining single of fine qui. Otherwise this album was ok, nothing to write home about.
Although I quite like this album, I don’t think it’s stood the test of time as well as some other, more notable Britpop releases of the ’90s. Of course, Alright was a massive hit, and there are other strong tracks here too, like She’s So Loose and Caught by the Fuzz, but overall, I found it to be a little repetitive.
It’s fine I guess
Lots of this album has me thinking “why haven’t I heard this before?!” And other parts were that very British style of song that feels like a kids show tune.
It was overall a solid album. It wasn't my cup of tea, necessarily. I added a few of the songs to my 'liked' songs.
A fun album with pop punk inspiration that mellows out towards the end. Maybe feels a little incohesive, but many catchy singles!
Cool
good brit pop. this has that 95 sound. like space hog
The second half of the album is better, but only one song stands out
Every song a surprise on this one, not the least of which being Alright. I had definitely heard this on some commercial at some point and never thought "there's a band that made this, and maybe they have an album with other music on it." I was listening to other bands of the style at the time, so I'm not sure how this one escaped me. I don't think there was anything on the album I disliked, and there were certainly a majority of song I liked, especially as the album progressed. I was quite impressed with a lot of the structural elements/changes throughout the songs, which made this group of teens seem far more mature songwriters than many (or most) of their peers. ⭐⭐⭐.51?
This album grabbed me today! It’s pop punk-ish, but there’s an extra level to it. The musical form on this album takes a lot of twists and turns away from the “standard formula” for a song. There’s youthful energy in this album that I really took to. Even some surprisingly fun music theory stuff in here (weird time signature shenanigans in Mansize Rooster, ambiguous chords in Time to Go). Never thought I would say this about punky Britpop…but an 8/10 for me today. What a surprise!
every song was great and the whole album was consistent, though i feel like it didnt have any tracks that stood out. that being said, it was great nonetheless
Noe kult, noe litt kjedelig. "Sofa" er favoritt. Og en uventet låt jeg har hørt før ("Alright"). Sterk 3 🤌
Høyrte gjennom dette nokre gonger. Overraskande. Svak firar frå meg.
its' ok, a few bops. The famous song "Alright" is quite different than most of the album.
I liked this a lot
Really liked it and will be realistening Love how it started so crazy, fast tempo, lots going on and then slowed itself down. Super cool. Very deserving of my first 5 stars
I really liked the beginning of the album there’s was okay
Thank god this is playable on stereo and mono equipment. This is a fuckin banger holy
What a great album. Great energy, great composition. The tightness and almost conceptual approach of the full record, awesome!
8/10
Jäkligt fin britpop/indie! Gillar detta. Får nästan bli en 4:a.
muy boogie oogie bogie dab dab
Not my thing but Time was cool.
Por una canción tampoco me parece uno de los mejores discos de la historia no?
No. 178 Quite good. Quite fun. Full of youth
Rate: 10/10. Una portada muy linda, temazos.
My favourite song on this first listen was "She's So Loose". I am torn between rating this a 3 or a 4. There were some amazing moments in the album, but I'd probably have to listen to it again in order to decide to give it a 4/5. So, for now, I'm leaning towards 3/5.
It’s not bad but it’s one of so many indie albums
Airtight method to be featured in the 1001 albums: be a crappy irrelevant Brit Pop band. I have always hated that band, but I have to admit, it's actually not that bad. The music is a lot faster and louder than I remembered, and it has a youthful irreverence that's quite charming ... more Punk / Power Pop than Brit Pop. if it only weren't for the annoying voice of the singer ...
I am not familiar with this band. The record is not horrible, but it's rather dull and boring.
Good craic. I've never heard this album before, and it's more varied than I thought it would be, given the singles which were released.
That hideous album cover was almost an immediate turnoff. The music inside was a little more palatable, though the brickwalled guitars on the opener mixed with that shrill organ on top of it all immediately recalled Cardiacs. The rest of the album revealed it to be one part Cardiacs, one part XTC, and one part Kinks. In short, this album is British to the core, from its unrelenting punk energy to its lyricism full of sarcastic wit. Though I know basically nothing about this band, I've definitely heard "Alright" at least once in my life. It's supposedly an all-timer of British rock, though I found it to be sort of standard and middle of the pack. I suppose it's a matter of time and place considering this was 1993 and alt rock was barely coming into its own in the US, let alone in the UK. As the album progresses across its 13 tracks, the guitars constantly blasting more or less the same chords in your ear gets very tiring after a while. Thankfully, there's a few more diverse songs in the later half to keep your interest. There's an oddly flamenco-coded song in "We're Not Supposed To" which features these odd pitch-shifted voices laid on top of a sunshiney melody. There's also a blues rocker in "Time" and the massive pop hit "Alright" that help break up the massive wall of punk chords. The band could definitely do more than just punk thrashers, but songs like those are all too brief and too spread apart to truly break apart the endless guitar blasting monotony. What I did like about this album, I found quite good, but I feel like I'm missing out on the full experience by not being British. Key Tracks: Caught by the Fuzz, Alright, She's So Loose
Alright!
Pretty catchy british Garage Indie Rock. The album I mostly outshined by the hit single.
Weird but in a good way!
Perfectly fine alt rock with a couple of catchy choruses, can't imagine I would listen to it over similar rock groups
Had a couple bangers
Another one I have listened to! To be fair, I need to revisit this. But off the top of my head, I will say that in the Britpop world, Supergrass are UNDERRATED!! They are much faster and quicker than their peers, especially with tracks like "Sitting up Straight" and the opener "I'd like to know." The second half slows down quite a bit, and I think that "she's so loose" and "Sofa (of my lethargy)" are great. Def need to revisit LOOOL ok
A really really fun listen, an might I say a perfect (brit-/power-)pop album? The album is very energetic and a bit silly in the vocal delivery at times, but the whole album has an energy where it seems like the band had such a blast in the studio recording this. The album sounds like summer as well, which is a good thing. And "Alright" is such an awesome song.
There is more supergrass on this list? Luckily this is way better than the other one. Fun little rockin tunes that can be listened to whenever. Nothing groundbreaking on here but I did really enjoy every song on here. It's a high four and I could see it creeping up to 5 if I find myself coming back to it.
Wenz: Not the type of music I always listen to, but surprisingly I heard about “Alright” before listening to this album
pretty fun
🙂
I recognized a couple songs, album is ok. 2.5 stars
I’ve heard Alright before but I don’t mind the sound of some of their other songs. Decent album overall.
i’m intooo this. i like alright, lose it, strange ones, time to go annnd she’s so loose is one of my fave new (to me) tracks i’ve heard in a while
Surprisingly fun for a britpop album
An interesting one on the punkier end of Britpop. Songs in the first half especially have a lively sound that captures your attention, I’d Like to Know and Caught by the Fuzz my highlights. Alright is the most known song, but to me it’s a title that matches the description. It’s a good listen, but the album overall probably doesn’t hit the heights of the opening songs.
A really good album. Going into this I was only familiar with the track ‘Alright’ which as it turns out is markedly different from much of the rest of the album! Much of the album is quite punky but combined with memorable pop melodies, a combination that’s right up my street.
Having only previously heard the monster hit ‘Alright’ I was surprised to find that song is quite an outlier from most of this album, which largely has a strong garage rock/punky feel. This is established right from the great opening one-two punch of ‘I’d Like to Know’ and ‘Caught by the Fuzz’. But there’s stylistic variety here too. Apart from ‘Alright’ there’s also ‘Mansize Rooster’ which sounds a bit Kinks-inspired to me, the bluesy rock ballad ‘Time’, and the psychedelic jam ‘Sofa of My Lethargy’, among others. This album has an irresistible energy and positive vibe. Solid 4 stars.
This was pretty chill. It was nice to hear a full body of work by the folks who made 'Alright', which definitely gives lake or beach vibes. Unfortunately, I probably won't listen again if I’m being honest. It is what it is, lol.
What an album
Why do Brits feel the need to include a weird vaguely pedophillic song on every album. Makes you raise an eyebrow. Anyway music is good and grungy but We’re Not Supposed To kinda makes you think about the whole album different.
Alright is one of those songs I’ve heard dozens of times but had no idea who it was by. Fun album, tail end dragged a bit Also have listened to Gaz Coombs music before but didn’t know anything about him, neat!
From the first note, I thought this was going to be too noisey for me, but I was wrong and it is great. It doesn’t wear out its welcome and is amusing with how it stats consistent and references itself. Very enjoyable listen
4/10
# Playlist Track - Alright # Notes - Didn't expect much, but this is a SOLID album. It's fun pretty much all the way. Didn't skip any tracks in the couple of times I've listened to it.
9/10 for songs 4/10 for album cover High 3/5 overall
Not as original as I'd hoped
If you don't mind peevish, immature little cockney wankers being total cock wobbles, the music is good.
.greggrtghuyg
Good rock. Gets better by each song.
new favorite band
This was fun. The list has made me weary of random Brit bands but this is what great 90s music was about. Irreverance, sick guitar slaying, lyrics about not giving a fuck.
A bit of Simple Minds' flair, but it feels like it's stuck in one gear throughout. I enjoyed it, there are some great tracks here. But it's a bit too one-dimensional for my tastes. Spins: 1 Playlist Additions - Perfect Skin - Rattlesnakes - Are You Ready To Be Heartbroken?
I think if I grew up with this album I would really like it, it has a solid rock driven sound with a punk influence. It did feel a bit simple or mundane at times, kind of what you expect but not much more. If I listened to it a few times my rating would probably grow.
I liked this a lot more than the last Supergrass album that was generated. There's a frenetic energy and a bit of a punk feel to some of these songs. This album does seem similarly frontloaded though; I feel like it loses some steam in the second half
Terve album vuhises minust sujuvalt mööda nii, et ma ei pannud peaaegu ühtegi hitti ega meeldivat lugu tähele (v.a. "Alright", mis on rahvusvaheline hitt). Minu jaoks kuidagi ebameeldiv rapsimine ja liiga kaootilised mõtted. Album pinises mul kõrvas koguaeg, aga lihtsalt väga generic muusika ei jää meelde. 2.3/5
British 90s pop alt rock. Not bad. I can see how she people could really get into it. I was left with a meh. Morning there for me to latch onto and go "yeah that was awesome". But it was still very listenable. Eh...
C’est assez inégal et à plutôt vieilli, mais il y a des bonnes idées
Finally, a completely fresh listen to an artist I didn't know before. Let's see where this one goes. Not the biggest fan of the opening track, but I've heard worst. From a purely sonic standpoint, I'm enjoying it so far, although the mix is a bit too bassy for my personal taste. Otherwise really nice and crunchy though. I'm interested if they keep that high octance energy of the first track going throughout the whole record. Not so fresh of an artist after all, as soon as "Alright" dropped, I realized that I did know a song of them beforehand. Great track as a sort of breather within all of that punky energy. They really did a great job with placing little breathing pauses either within the songs themselves, or by placing slower paced songs at the right spots. Solid record overall. Not my favourite of all time or anything, but solid nonetheless.
That was fun. I was vaguely aware of these guys but hadn't actually heard any of their music as far as I know. I think the Brits make some of the best eclectic, genre hopping music, and this was no exception. Quirky punk extractions with shades of Britpop, indie rock, and healthy doses of cockney cheek. I'm gonna go 4/5 on this.
Cool, I like punk/rock songs and this is exactly that, very good music to work with!
The Monkees on steroids... awesome. Best: Strange Ones/Sitting up Straight Worst: We're Not Supposed To
not my vibe rn
1. "Alright" 2. "Mansize Rooster" 3. "She's So Loose"
Pues oye, bastante guay. Buen mix de cosillas british, con una energía muy juvenil, muy fresquita.
no. we have britpop at home.
Good example of post grunge and where 90's alt rock was headed
Was '90s alternative all just the same? This album is fine. The tracks are fine. Nothing horrible. Some good moments. This band is okay, but they are emblematic of the era.
Simple, straight and honest. Liked it.
1 tema bueno nomas
Muy largo, no me llamo para nada. El unico tema que me gusto fue Alright que es el mas conocido.
Simple, energetic, youthful. I only knew Alright from Clueless. Think I might be too old to enjoy this.
Only knew the single Alright. Loved the rest of the album. Took me way too long to realize how great they are.
pretty good
HELL FUCKING YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAH!. Es lo que vengo buscando hace rato, es lo que quiero para mi música. Tremendo, cómo se nota esa fuerza juvenil. Ultra versatil.
Nice late-punk album, it gets more interesting as goes ahead from punk. Well played, good voices. Enjoyable.
not bad not great 3/5
4 for that one hit! so good
Kinks for 90s kids
Me gustó mucho, mucha onda
TEENAGE MOMENT!!! O álbum I Should Coco me lembra meus bons momentos de adolescente, a frenesi, a energia, a rapida melancolia e a energia juvenil. Já conhecia "Alright" que é uma das minhas favoritas desde sempre, mas fiquei surpresa com a quantidade de música boa pra, olha só, outro álbum de estreia. Além da época que foi lançado que, JURAVA que era dos anos 2000, de tão atual que parece. Acho incrível a forma de que, sempre que escuto da pra capturar certinho a emoção e energia adolescente não só pelas letras e ritmos Punk/Pop, mas por fazerem ainda sendo uns, o que acho que dá um tom mais pessoal pro disco. Percebi a pegada The Kinks e Beatles que teve como inspiração e, novamente, aqui AMAMOS álbums que misturam ritmos e pegadas diferentes. Onde vi que teve, mas de uma forma únicamente deles, que não sei muito bem explicar, mas que caiu MUITO bem. Apesar de parecer bem produzido foi um disco feito de forma rápida e barata, o que da mais pano pra manga para mostrar que Supergrass tem sua qualidade sonora, fugindo do esteriótipo "Punk Trash" que sempre acham quando denominam o gênero de um disco Punk. Minhas favoritas além da citada anteriormente foram "Caught by the Fuzz" (que experiência hein, Gaz? kkkjjk) "Mansize Rooster" "Time" e "Time to Go" (que achei bem vibes Beatles). I Should Coco que tem o nome como referência a uma gíria britânica, foi um álbum muito divertido de escutar, bati cabeça, dancei e me senti novamente naqueles primeiros momentos da adolescencia, que pra mim, foram incríveis.
This is not bad, but I'm sorry, I think one album from these guys is enough really. Decent stuff, probably same as the other album on the list in terms of stars, that is 3
Really enjoyable! I’ll definitely come back to this one
I honestly had no idea who Supergrass was, but when I heard some of the singles on this album, I immediately recognized them. It's always interesting to me when I "know" a band, but have no idea who they are. Honestly, really good album. Worth additional listens.
"I Should Coco" is full of energetic, youthful, Britpop songs.
Favourite Songs: I Want To Know Mansize Rooster She's So Loose

Straight out of the blocks with the frantic ‘I’d like to know ‘ into the magnificent ‘caught by the fuzz’ which was definitely a bit of an Anthem with mr and my mates when living in London mid nineties. Mansized rooster sounds like a bit of a 60s throwback leading into the timeless Alright . This one has had a tic toc resurgence and sounds as fresh as it did in the nineties . That is a very strong 4 song opening stretch. The rest of the album is good with lots of sixties and seventies vibes ( Lenny is a stomper) and strange ones is a bit Doors like which I enjoy. Super fun album from the Brit pop era. I personally prefer a bit more depth in lyrics and mood ( pulp, suede) but this one deserves 4/5 stars
Suena lindo. Algún que otro tema conocido. Esperaba algo más pero es un disco más que acaptable.
ok
You can definitely hear the influence of this album in bands like the Hives, the Vines, Blur and a lot of the other British garage punk bands who came out in the late 90s, early 2000s. While i can’t deny this albums influence, I will say, this isn’t my sound.
Pretty good, Alright is an all-timer, though I'm not sure it's as hooky or adventurous as some of the other Britpop albums of the time.
un album normal de rock britanico que me gusta
God I love Britpop They really ate with Alright and I'm happy I got to listen to the rest of the album
4/13 Punk music just sounds the same to me. Very boring and bland
TIL there are limits to how much Britpop I can take. Too Oasisy, not Blurry enough. I don't even much like that one damn song from Clueless.
I enjoyed this one more than I was expecting. Sure it's Britpop, and not even particularly noteworthy Britpop, but there's a sort of youthful energy to it that makes it feel very uplifting and joyous, even without factoring in the lyrics. Quick and to the point songs with no extra fat. What more could I ask for? Key tracks: Caught by the Fuzz Mansize Rooster Alright
Has a classic feel to it, but with that 90s sharpness
An energetic romp
What an energy!
Every song sounds like it could be in a levis commercial. Supergrass? more like super fun.
Really good, snotty Britpop. I really enjoyed this and can’t wait to listen to more.
Really good album, didn’t realise there was a song in here that I know quite well. Fun alt rock songs done well.
Really surprised by this one, surprised I haven't listened to them before.
Kind of fun punk-ish rock, with a song that I didn’t realize was by them, but overall just a bog-standard album
It's fine.
“Alright” is a pretty great song. Nothing else here appeals to me quite as much, though “Lose It” and “Lenny” may come close. Mostly: pleasant enough, not profound. 3.5? I was definitely not paying attention to Britpop in 1994—or any other time. I’m happy to have had a reason to listen to this
Love this album from start to finish. This is right in my musical wheelhouse and was one of the early albums I listened to when getting into Britpop. Biggest Hit - alright Biggest Miss ( if I had to choose) - lose it Hidden Gem - Sofa (of my lethargy)
This was fine I guess. I was hoping for something a little heavier. I’d rather listen to The Black Album.
A great debut band that I was lucky to have seen at the Bath Moles gig that you can find on the Super Deluxe of this album. Lots of great Indie pop from these emerging youngsters
Solid 4, fun to listen to and pretty timeless to my ears. No major standouts but all in all pretty fun record
Like it 3/5
Favorite Track: Sofa (Of My Lethargy) Least Favorite Track: Lenny
Fantastic! Guitar driven British power pop in the tradition of The Who. One of the best of the 90s BritPop wave. 4.5 I have to save my 5 star ratings for perfect albums, but this is close.
La primera vez que escuché "alright" fue cuando entre a una hamburguesería con una amiga. Siempre que escucho esa canción, recuerdo ese momento.
Had a Sex Pistols meets The Clash vibe. Not bad.
Perfectly good for what it is. I was only really familiar with the singles, but they were a competent and raucous trio. I doubt I’d revisit it, and it is hardly essential listening in my opinion, but it wasn’t too bad.
Noisy but good
oooh thats where it came from
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Absolute banger, what a debut album this is. Great band
really really good. one of the best album debut if you ask me
драйвово
4.1/4.2 Banging Brit pop. Caught by the fuzz was my personal favourite.
had much fun listeniing to this one. great vibe
Epic
Es bueno, pero no fui fan, se me hace muy playero y repetitivo, pero si está cool. Alright es tremenda canción, debo darle una nueva oportunidad a futuro
Solid surfer punk music 🤟
It wasn't my ideal album when it comes to rock. It had some complexity in the latter half of the album in terms of the instrumentals that combine with the emotion. But at the end of the day, the album was not what I would choose to listen too.
Muy rock arriba, las voces no me gustan
Really liked this and is a strange blind spot in my music taste. Gonna look at more from them for sure.
Completely new to me and really enjoyed it.
Surprised how much I like this! Alright is still a bit of an annoying song, but I’ve always liked Caught By The Fuzz, and the rest of the album was much better than I expected - Sofa (Of My Lethargy) in particular was great.
*Alright is great and a song I didn't realize I knew from Supergrass *Many songs have great energy, but then it also slows at times
Δεν είχα ιδέα με το τί είδους μουσικής παίζει αυτό το συγκρότημα γιατί δεν τους είχα ξανά ακούσει. Έφαγα jump scare με τα γρήγορα tempo. 'Οπως και με αρκετά άλλα δεν με τρέλανε ωστόσο είχε ωραία ακούσματα. Επιπλέον είχαν ένα κομμάτι που έχω ξανακούσει εντελώς τυχαία, το alright. Lose It
I enjoy3d this. Need to remember to listen to it again sometime
8/10
It was a little much for me today, but if I was feeling more hyped, I could see myself enjoying it more.
This was meh.
After yesterday’s complete ASSterclass this album was a breath of fresh air. It made my ears quite happy, I mean how can you mad when Alright comes on?
a very enjoyable britpop album that starts out bangin' and leaves with a feeling of sweets on a chewsday. (first time being british how'd i do?) favorite song: I'd Like To Know least favorite: We're Not Supposed To
Chillie. Beetje repetitive, maar wel fijn. Where's the women though??? Het is al dagen lang mannen, mannen, mannen, let's switch it uuuuuupp.
Catchy som tusan och helt ok. Denna grupp har aldrig varit min favorit men man kan inte ta ifrån dem att de kan skapa trallvänliga låtar. Gillar albumet och blir på glatt humör.
A lot of energy in every song! A fresh sound.
Some albums and songs just make you smile and for me, this is one of them. Not as polished or mature as ‘in it for the money’, but a cracking album nonetheless. ‘I’d Like to Know’ firmly sets out the stall for what to expect from this album, good time fuzzy guitars. Yes ‘Alright’ is the one everyone knows (and quite rightly), but ‘Mansize Rooster’ ‘Lenny’ and particularly’Caught By The Fuzz’ were equally great singles. I love the contrast between the end of ‘Strange Ones’ and ‘Sitting up Up Straight’ with it’s piano intro reminiscent of old school cockney joanna tunes. ‘We’re Not Supposed to’ is a light fun breather of a track. The last three tracks display a mellower, reflective style. I’ve always thought Supergrass are an underrated band who have produced some great albums and going into this I was happy i knew this was a 4/5, but listening to it again it appears maybe i have been guilty of underrating this album, as it is definitely better than 4/5.
