I Should Coco

I was only familiar with a couple of Supergrass tracks, so I was looking forward to listening to an entire album. It definitely met my expectations, I liked this a lot. I love how relentlessly energetic it is throughout, while also having a lot of fun switch-ups. There are a couple of low points here and there, but nothing too egregious. The mixing also deserves praise, it isn't as compressed as you would expect it to be given its loudness and the time and place it was released. Favourite track: Caught by the Fuzz

One of the few 90s bands that cited punk as an influence and actually sounded like it, at least on this record. Caught by the Fuzz / Mansize Rooster / Alright is a great run of tunes.

A fun album. Lots of energy. 4 stars. Fave track - we’re alright

This was excellent. Offspring crossed with the Beatles. Musically and vocally excellent.

absolutely stellar album if it wasn't for the last four tracks

Really like this, punky and vital, lots of fun

Ik dacht altijd dat het Coco stond voor 'prettig gestoord'. Daar zat ik nogal naast lees is op wiki. (Het staat voor 'I should think so'.) Het zegt wel wat over hoe ik de muziek vroeger ervaarde. Althans over de eerste nummers. Want heel ver ben ik nooit gekomen. Het was voor mij deels wat vrolijkmakende gekkigheid. Niet mijn smaak, maar het afhaken, kwam meer door het andere deel van mijn beleving: afstotende punk. Nu luister ik toch wat verder. Het album krijgt later wat meer balans. Je zal het niet veel vaker uit mijn pen lezen, maar de extra britpop doet het album wel goed. Is dit nu bewust zo opgebouwd? Een luchtig voorgerecht om eetlust op te wekken en daarna een meer gebalanseerd smakenpalet als hoofdgerecht? Aan het eind zijn we in elk geval iets te lang gebleven. Het licht gaat aan en er wordt een rustig muziekje aangezet om ons eruit te bonjouren. 3.5 ster.

"Alright" is a great song, but I could not have come up with the band's name. I like the energy of the album, especially "Sitting Up Straight."

Really good stuff! Seeing the band name I was expecting some horrid stomp-clap-shout garbage and was pleasantly surprise to hear frenetic guitar rock instead. worthy of repeat listens.

One of my fav albums of the 90s and possibly one of the best debuts in that era too. Great catchy songs that have stuck with me over the years. Maybe sounds a teeny bit dated now but still incredible

I had never heard of this band or this album before, so I'm surprised at how much I loved this. Super high energy and endlessly catchy all throughout with only one song that I can say I didn't fully enjoy. Alright is the clear standout here for me, I had actually heard that somewhere before but had never actually known the name of it until now which is a mistake on my part because it is a genuinely fantastic song. Every other track here though is also very good though, with the exception of We're Not Supposed To, which tbf, doesn't sound like it was made with the intention of being taken seriously anyway. Overall though, this was a surprisingly great album that really took me by surprise. Idk if I'll check out anything else from this band but I'll definitely be returning to this a lot. Fav Songs: Alright, I'd Like To Know, Mansize Rooster, Lose It Least Fav: We're Not Supposed To 8.8/10

I can't believe I never knew this band existed!! They are the perfect transition piece between 60s brit-rock bands like the Kinks with the subsequent neo-classic-rock phase like JET. They were about 10 years ahead of their time! Catchy songs, fun music videos, and fun music. Thoroughly enjoyed.

I never heard of this band however I thoroughly enjoyed it. This was a very big and pleasant surprise.

Pretty good! A solid album, not really revolutionary but solid for British music. "Alright" is iconic.

fun album :)

This is another criminally under-listened-to album. I forgot how much I love this album and genuinely can’t remember the last time I listened to it. Supergrass are definitely underrated.

listening.

Better than I remembered.

Very fun! This album is a joy to listen to but also so far from being background music that it’s mildly tiring. It feels like looking into those weird funhouse circus mirrors. I don’t know if this album is as technically good as some other ones here but it’s so exhilarating and catchy that I wanted to rate it high 🙂‍↕️ Fav songs: I’d like to know, alright, strange ones

Another album that came out the year I was born. Always a pleasant surprise. Only bangers so far from 1995 and this is no exception. British Rock/Pop is a very mixed bag with this project, because it seems like every other day on here I inevitably roll some forgettable album that ended up being pretty big in the UK but nowhere else. They’re not all bad, but I’ve been pretty disappointed with a lot of them. Some of them were even pretty highly rated on this site. While I Should Coco by Supergrass, the debut album by a bunch of actual children, 2 of them literally being 18 years old when this was being created, didn’t chart in the USA, the song “Alright” certainly left its mark. I’ve heard that song in various shows and commercials up to the point that I recognized it pretty instantly when it played for the first time. The funny part about it is that, although it’s still a certified banger, I actually like 3 of the songs I’d never heard before better. All that is to say that this album is really, really good. Historically, it caught on overseas because it gave UK kids a very powerful voice, and man does it ever. This album is filled with freedom, youth, hope, and various other positive feelings that I think we’d all like to feel more of in the big 2026. As unlikely as that is, this album really made me happy, and I almost want to give it a 5. Love the singer, love the guitar playing, and to create this album at such a young age is such an impressive feat that helps push this album even further in a great direction. You could tell me this came out today and I’d believe you. It hasn’t really aged a day, if anything it’s better than what’s currently coming out. Now I simply have to hear these guys live today and see what they’re currently up to, it looks like they still tour occasionally. Good for them. My favorite songs on this album, all of which were added to my usual rotation are “I’d Like to Know”, “Strange Ones”, and my favorite of the bunch, “Lose It”. My only criticism with this album is one that is very common. The bottom half kind of loses me a bit. First half is a 10/10, second half is like an 8/10. Still good but not 5 worthy. But man is it close. It was really difficult picking a rating this time. I Should Coco, which is apparently slang for “I should think so”, not entirely sure how, really surprised me. This is one of those albums that I started this project to hear. Will certainly return to this album, and there’s a second one on here that I’m going to wait until rolling to enjoy for the first time, as I usually do. Add this to the ever growing list of albums I might adjust to a 5 later. That’s how much I enjoyed it. Fantastic stuff here!!

This is why I like this list. Totally new to me. This was great!

Alright is a phenomenal song.

This prompted a discussion with by husband on how UK pop was about a decade ahead of US pop because this sounds like it came out of 2005.

Hell yeah. I always have a soft spot for Supergrass.

Underrated Britpop band and a solid album

Really good album - hard to decide between 4 and 5 - hits great - errred on side of a 4, but very much a 8.5/9 out of 10

It's alright

I never imagined I’d see 1 Supergrass album on this list, let alone 2. That seems a bit odd since Supergrass are basically PBS to other Brit rock bands, them being the big TV channels. Yes, Supergrass are basic to me. Try to convince me oh holy Supergrass album I’m listening to. Convincing under way I guess. Two songs doesn’t mean much but their big album in the early 2000’s perhaps failed to impress me more than this one has. Ok ok fine, this deserves a listen, do I have any big take away from it? No but it’s defiantly listenable. No huge standout tracks but their big album songs just fit well together to make this a better than mid album. Choice cut: Mansize Rooster

A lot of really cool songs, but I'm so sick of hearing Alright, I'm going to be real with you.

7/10 Favorite: Sofa (Of My Lethargy)

Le côté un peu whimsical de l'album c'est pas mon délire mais j'avoue que les mélodies a la Ramones sont nickel, très bien produite et mixé. Je ressens un peu l'influence Madness. Pour un album produit avec aussi peu de budget et avec autant de volume, vitesse et rapidité, le produit fini est quali sans perdre en personnalité, doublé par les thèmes abordés et l'univers du groupe, ce qui en fait plus qu'un simple album de punk. Je ne suis pas fan des B sides mais les hits font mouche.

alright, good one. well presented, well executed. i really liked the lyrics,genuine. i'm a bit suspect 'cause i love british 90s rock, but still. this is friendly enough to be pleasant but cool on the other side without losing the grip of the proposition. this is literally the sound you hear 2000s indie rock bands doing, but less polished. i liked how in tracks like "lose it" they play with the vocal production choices—from the beginning scream to the vocalist. the track "alright" is truly the best choice for a single: ironic, easy to sing along, and relatable enough without being too obvious. i truly liked it. the type of thing i would play at a party.

Review - much better than I expected! I thought they were just a 60s revival britpop also-ran, but the music's much more eclectic and punky than I expected. Had also never noticed how similar Ty Segalls's vocal delivery is to this band but now I can't unhear it. I think they're both trying to do an impression of Ray Davies. Rating - 8/10 Need to hear? YES

Really good album. Even better knowing it was their debut. Wish I'd known more about Supergrass in the 90's. I really liked the first song "I'd like to Know" and the pace of the album.

This the type of music I would want to hear at a basement venue. Just good vibes and good music. Fun stuff. 4/5

Very good indeed. The jokey songs get a bit irritating but there's also some real hidden depths. Outstanding drumming. Three stay of something great, and a fab teenage musical diary

These guys always made me smile. I loved the cheeky way they seemed to be having an absolute blast. The hits are great and the other tracks are solid.

Nothing but reckless energy. And great songs. Favourite tracks: Caught By The Fuzz, Alright (one of those songs which has transcended to the monoculture and I'm bloody pleased about it), Strange Ones, Sofa Of My Lethargy (one of my very favourite songs at 17!)

super good example of brit pop, really fun to listen to

I really like how fast-paced and and high energy the songs on the album are, and how soothing and relaxing the songs with guitars are. I feels like a well rounded rock album.

ατόφιο ροκ

Conocía alguna canción pero me ha sorprendido gratamente el disco en general Empieza con fuerza con I'd like to know

très très agréablement surpris, l’album coule tout seul, plusieurs style exploré, très cool!! 4+/5

Fun British pop punk band from the 90s that I never heard of before! Any ‘70’s - ‘80’s Ramones fan would like this group.

Had never heard of this band before. Was lukewarm toward the lead singer on the first pass but really enjoyed the instrumentation. Warmed up to the vocals on my second visit.

Appropriately wear their influences on their sleeves and throw out a few surprises.

Most of the album was rollicking good fun. Best song: "Alright" and I really liked, "Time To Go" too. Worst song: "Lose It"

Another 8/10! Generalmente un album muy divertido. Me gusta mucho su sonido, upbeat, in your face, genuine Anteriormente habia escuchado Caught by the Fuzz y Alright, que es muy famosa, y ambas me siguen gustando mucho, pero mi fave se la doy a Sitting Up Straight, musicalmente muy interesante. Honorable mention a Time, no me esperaba un Blues song

Reipasta rock-musaa. Olin kuunnellut tämän kerran aiemmin, mutta tämähän oli pikkuisen parempi kuin muistinkaan. Hyvä levy vaikka kansikuva on aivan karmea.

Another review probably clouded by nostalgia as I went to see them tour this album at the Hacienda in Manchester in 1995. My mate fell asleep on a speaker (in was a 10k sound system as well...) but I stayed awake to appreciate the mix of indie anthems and slightly more punky pop tunes. Gaz Coombs was only 19 at the time.....

A pretty good album. I enjoyed hearing it again

Album Review 074 I Should Coco by Supergrass (1995) Rating 4.5/5 Supergrass were the weird kid at school, the one who saw things differently to everyone else and got by just doing their own stuff but had a unique charm and innocence once you got to know them. If there is one underlying theme on I Should Coco, it’s them saying “Yeah, we’re a bit different but that’s cool. Let’s be friends” and 30-years on, the world needs this message more than ever. Musically, some tracks are hyperactive and full of energy, others are softer and more reflective but it’s all pretty simple and there isn’t a bad song here. I loved this album when it first came out and I still adore it now, it feels like a group hug and makes me all sunshiney.

It was hard to avoid Supergrass when Alright burst into the charts, they were right place, right time for the Britpop / Indie rock explosion. This album is energetic, vibrant, fun and varied with plenty of quirks. I would probably say that some of my favourite Supergrass songs come later but this was the album I knew best.

The sound of reckless abandon in the summer of 95!

Basically everything is more fun if it's punk, and Britpop is no exception. This is a blast - tails off a little in the second half, but boy is that a strong side 1

I liked the mild punk vibes!

Only know the band from their hits, one or two of which are on here. Really like the very British flavour of this album. Kinks meets Buzzcocks via Bowie/Bolan and the Stones. Good stuff. 4

Energetic, and not boring, which is the only thing one can hope in the endless sea of acoustic and/or indie boring shit that pops up on this list.

This is pretty good. Nothing is sticking out in particular on my first listen, but maybe I'll listen more and some of it will grow on me. Sweet bass tone and the songs are well written and mixed. Pleasant listening experience, if a little bit of a blur (no, it's not Blur, it's Supergrass!).

4.5 Super fun britpop high energy. While the album cover is absolutely atrocious, the music is jammin

The distillation of what seems to be every dominant rock/pop style from the UK over the course of about 30 years into a 40 minute listen (you can hear Kinks, Queen, the glam side of Bowie). Pretty admirable effort, but after getting another Britpop album yesterday, I might be just a bit tired of the genre already. If you're gonna send this stuff my way, give me Suede at least.

Did I enjoy this? I should coco!

In my mind Supergrass are a bit of a modern day Monkees, which may not be entirely fair and on re-listening to this album for the first time in a long time it still is a great piece of indie guitar pop. It is hard not to get sucked into Caught by the Fuzz, at the time Alright felt to be on absolutely everywhere and got a bit annoying but it is a great, if throwaway, pop tune. A bit of a wander down memory lane that was perfectly good company. They sound like they were having a ball too.

Me ha sorprendido muchísimo. No me esperaba que me gustase tanto. Además de las canciones conocidas, tiene temas muy buenos. Sonido muy bueno. Recomendable.

Just classic Britpop!

Not a strong start, but I ended up liking this much more than I expected. Classic 90s alt style.

2/12/26. Another gem from this era of music I have stumbled upon! I know Britpop is a media term, but it's hard not to compare to other bands from this scene, like Blur and Oasis. Thought the songwriting was strong and loved the different dynamics throughout.

The album starts with so much energy that by the time it peters out at the end, you don't mind quite so much as you're also exhausted.

Catchy uptempo Brittpop, fun to listen to.

Been a long time since I listened to this and I'm glad I did. Like a musical history tour quoting the Overture from Tommy in the opener, Beatles- influenced guitar and harmony influences, and a sprinkling of punk just to spice it up. But it never feels derivative (Gallagher, wake up at the back of the class). For a bunch of teenagers they did an impressive amount of homework. 4*

qcho que 4 estrelas

This whole album was solid! I recognized Alright instantly (didn’t realize how old it was), but then I started to fear that this was a one hit wonder album. Turns out that’s not the case.

This is a very energetic and catchy album. It won me over pretty quickly and is one of the more surprising albums that I'd never heard of. I've heard that one song because it's on commercials and all over all the time, but that was not one of the better songs.

Great album. Good songs well played. I've always thought Supergrass are criminally underrated.

Fresh as a daisy. Great songwriting and playing. Side 2 drags compared to superlative side 1

Great album! Great band! Like the British killers or something very good though!

12 hours later, Alright is still stuck in my head.

Loud and in your face. Thought I would enjoy this more.

This is what an album should be, thematically cohesive, picked out, curated, banger after banger.

great album - particularly obsessed with She's So Loose, couldn't turn it off all day

Dope

Starting out it has white stripes vibes

lively and fun and I recommend playing it loud first thing in the morning like I did

I was surprised I was familiar with the song Alright, I had never heard of this group before. I was busy working and didn't notice the album ended, and Spotify started playing other songs by the group. I just let it keep playing.

Have heard "Alright" but could not tell you the name of the band.

It's unique and fun! Takeaways: "Alright"

First album that I am not familiar with the artist at all! Maybe I'll know some of the songs. I decided to look at the Wikipedia article about the group before I begin listening, and I found out that this is their debut album, and the name of the album is actually cockney slang, which has always been a weird niche topic I've been interested in. Looks like this album never gained traction in the US, so it's possible I have not heard any of their music until now. Looks like they may have broken into US markets a little bit around 2000 based on their awards, so maybe I've heard their later albums. OK, listening has commenced. And I do know their music! Really, I only know one track. They have a typical 90s rock band vocals-guitar-bass-drums sound that I loved during that period (I guess also keyboards, but I haven't noticed it yet), but less melancholy than the Seattle music I loved. While they are definitely a rock band, I hear a little bit of pop in their style as well. OK, after an initial listen-through, this album has very few skip tracks. It's pretty great. Reminds me of a lot of the indie music I was into when I was in high school. I wish I had discovered them back then. I probably would have played them on repeat, honestly. Not a perfect album, but the majority of songs are bangers, especially the second half of the album. My favorite track is probably Strange Ones, which features changing tempos throughout. Very happy to have found a new music group to listen to! 4/5 stars.

Alright is a banger, like the upbeat vibe of the rest but nothing special. Specific rating - 4.1 Fav song - alright Least fav - we’re not supposed to

I liked the energy and the variety.

J'ai pas trop aimé la première écoute même si certains sons sont très biens, mais avec un second repassage sur l'entièreté de la tracklist, je trouve l'album vraiment intéressant et assez riche. Bravo

honestly fuck yeah. it's got this scott pilgrim sex bob-omb garage punk fuzz with a little more british tweed to it. there's a decent level of pop appeal throughout, and they mix things up enough to not get dull. I'd Like to Know is a stellar opener, but Time is probably my favorite track

This album was a joy - interesting and great and a fun time. Interesting in a "lets all be creative and produce a banger of an album" kind of way 8.1/10

Plenty to digest here. Adjusting for the 1001 review scale, 8 ⚖️ out of 10 lizard wizards

I thought this was very good - catchy tunes, high energy, overall good britpop. People have noted that they can hear inspiration from the Kinks and Supertram in this, which I can totally see (and I love both of those bands so it’s a good sign for me). Would listen again.

Great album - the memories of the time came flooding back!

Great debut album, by and large short sharp songs with only one or two that feel a little filler. 4

I liked this a lot more than I expected to. Never liked Alright back when it came out and dismissed the album as I thought it would all sound like that. There's lots of energy here though and a bit of edge to some of the songs. Really well crafted. A bit twee at points but overall really enjoyable and I feel like I may have done them a disservice all these years.

Should I Coco?

I’m sticking with the bread theme today so this is an olive and cheese loaf. Tasty, a little different, and great for a summer picnic

I liked this one more than I thought I would. I liked the "have fun" attitude

ayyy i thought supergrass were like an indie pop thing, this is a nice surprise! I *despise* britpop as a genre and as a movement and, while supergrass flirts with it, this has some snotty fuckin swagger to it in the front half but falls off toward the end imo alright - fuckin' hell this blindsided me like California Dreamin' by The Mamas & The Papas did! An absolute British zeitgeist belter of a tune, you'll hear bits of this at weddings, funerals, football games, pubs, just a splinter in the thumb of British culture (not a complaint) lenny - absolutely stank facing it, snare tone is great, can't get over this bass & drum intro holy shit, loud and in your face, fantastic punk track strange ones - every fucker needs a home is where i stand politically. a blasting, grandiose wall of sound with some big stomps, big smiles from me sitting up straight - goddamn this is so good, the energy is unbelievable, the whiplash from the piano intro to the 70s cop drama guitar riff, the music feels like it wants to burst out, makes me want to punch myself in the face, favourite track so far she's so loose - weakest track we're not supposed to - supergrass couldn't have predicted the popularity of the minions from the hit movie despicable me and I wouldn't be surprised if this track inspired that time - a real driving bass and drums throughout with a real consistent riff, gives a lot of space for the vocals and guitar (and keys) to wander around. not usually my bag but really enjoyed this, very abrupt ending which diminishes the track as a whole imo 4.25

An album I'm glad I've listened to before I die. Alright is one of those songs I've always loved, but didn't know who sang it, and had almost forgotten it's existence until by surprise it came up on this album! For finding that song again, I'm grateful.

Upbeat and fun, which was great. That said, I think I enjoyed the second half of the album a bit more, which is a bit more midtempo and varied.

Fun High energy, liked the first song

A charming album with a lot of personality. An enjoyable listen.

Ich war hier schon bei einer 3, weil wenig Höhenpunkte, dann wurde es aber von Song zu Song besser. „Strange Ones“ hat mich dann richtig begeistert. Insgesamt 4 Sterne.

Einfach mal die Rockmusik genießen!

Ich dachte das Album bzw die Band ginge mehr in die Alright Richtung (was ein super Song ist aber würde mir auf Albumlänge nicht ganz gefallen) aber das ist deutlich garagiger und punkiger als gedacht. Sehr spaßig! In der zweiten Hälfte dreht es etwas zu sehr ab fängt sich dann aber wieder für das tolle Finale

C'est marrant comme les souvenirs remontent parfois avec une violence inouïe dès que la première note d'un disque retentit. Nous sommes en 1995, j'ai 25 ans et à cette époque, je traîne mes guêtres dans les couloirs d'une radio indépendante depuis déjà quatre ans, et je m'apprête, sans le savoir encore vraiment, à basculer l'année suivante derrière le comptoir d'un disquaire indé. 1995, c'est l'année de l'apogée de cette hystérie collective qu'on a appelée la Britpop. Une guerre de tranchées médiatique, montée de toutes pièces par le NME et le Melody Maker, opposant les prolos du nord (Oasis) aux intellos du sud (Blur). Franchement ? À l'époque, ça commençait déjà à me les briser menu. Moi, mon cœur battait pour des trucs plus tordus, plus sombres, alors, la guéguerre entre les frères Gallagher et Damon Albarn, ça me passait un peu au-dessus de la tête, soyons honnêtes. Et puis, au milieu de ce champ de bataille d'egos surdimensionnés, trois gamins d'Oxford ont débarqué en trombe. Gaz Coombes, Mick Quinn et Danny Goffey. Quand j'ai posé "I Should Coco" sur la platine de la radio pour la première fois, je m'attendais à un énième clone des Kinks ou des Beatles, le truc à la mode qu'il fallait diffuser pour faire plaisir aux auditeurs en manque de mélodies sucrées. Sauf que non, ce n'était pas ça, c'était une putain de décharge électrique. Il faut se rappeler de leur tête à l'époque, on aurait dit qu'ils sortaient tout juste de la puberté, avec ces rouflaquettes improbables qui leur donnaient l'air d'échappés d'un épisode de Scooby-Doo ou d'une version sous amphétamines des Monkees. Gaz Coombes avait 19 ans, bordel, 19 ans ! Et il chantait avec une arrogance et une énergie qui faisaient passer les mecs d'Oasis pour des retraités aigris avant l'heure. Ce disque, "I Should Coco", c'est l'insouciance pressée sur vinyle. C'est le son de la jeunesse qui s'ennuie dans une ville de province anglaise et qui décide de tout casser, mais avec le sourire. Dès l'ouverture avec "I'd Like To Know", on comprend qu'on n'est pas là pour trier les lentilles. Ça part à cent à l'heure, c'est du punk, en fait. C'est ça le secret car sous le vernis pop, sous les harmonies vocales impeccables, c'est l'esprit des Buzzcocks qui hante ce disque. Ça joue vite, ça joue fort, et ça s'en fout royalement. Évidemment, impossible de parler de cet album sans évoquer l'éléphant dans la pièce : "Alright". Ah, "Alright"... Si vous étiez vivant en 1995, vous n'avez pas pu y échapper car c'était partout. À la radio, à la télé, dans les pubs. "We are young, we run green...". C'est l'hymne d'une génération, paraît-il et pour être franc, à l'époque, j'ai failli détester le morceau à force de l'entendre matraqué. C'était trop joyeux, trop sautillant pour le "moi" de 25 ans qui préférait s'enfermer dans le noir. Mais avec le recul, putain, quel morceau ! Ce piano bastringue, cette insouciance, cette capacité à capturer l'essence même de l'été et de la jeunesse éternelle en trois minutes... C'est du génie pop, ni plus ni moins. C'est agaçant de perfection. Mais réduire "I Should Coco" à "Alright", c'est une hérésie et c'est passer à côté de la furie adolescente de "Caught by the Fuzz". Ce titre, c'est une petite merveille autobiographique. Gaz qui raconte comment il s'est fait choper par les flics à 15 ans avec de la drogue. La panique, la mère qui débarque au poste... C'est raconté avec une urgence, une batterie qui trépigne, une guitare qui scande le stress. On a tous vécu, de près ou de loin, ce genre de moment de "merde, merde, merde" adolescent. La musique retranscrit parfaitement cette montée d'adrénaline foireuse, c'est brillant. Et puis, il y a ce côté bordélique que j'adore, on sent que ça part dans tous les sens. "Mansize Rooster", avec son groove irrésistible, ou "Lenny", qui donne envie de sauter partout dans une chambre d'étudiant qui sent la bière tiède et (au mieux) le tabac froid. Il y a aussi des moments plus étranges, plus psychédéliques, comme "Sofa (Of My Lethargy)". Là, on touche à quelque chose de plus "Kinks", plus mélancolique, plus anglais dans le sens "dimanche après-midi pluvieux à regarder la télé". C'est là que je me retrouve un peu plus, dans cette capacité à ralentir le tempo pour laisser planer un peu de spleen au milieu de l'euphorie. Ce qui me frappe aujourd'hui, en réécoutant cet album pour cette chronique, c'est à quel point il n'a pas vieilli ou très peu. Contrairement à beaucoup de disques de la Britpop qui sonnent aujourd'hui datés, englués dans une production trop typée "années 90", "I Should Coco" garde une fraîcheur intacte. Peut-être parce que c'était joué live, sans fioritures, avec l'énergie du désespoir et de la joie mêlés. C'est un album qui pue la transpiration des petits clubs, pas les stades aseptisés. Alors oui, moi qui suis un inconditionnel de John Zorn période Painkiller, moi qui peux passer des heures à écouter GYBE construire des cathédrales sonores de 20 minutes, je l'avoue sans honte : j'aime cet album. Je l'aime parce qu'il est simple, parce qu'il est direct, parce qu'il ne se prend pas au sérieux. Dans ma discothèque, il est rangé pas très loin de mes albums des Pixies. Pas parce que ça sonne pareil, mais parce que ça partage cette même envie de faire du bruit avec des mélodies pop. Cette même envie de fuck-off généralisé, mais avec le sourire. Je me souviens de l'avoir beaucoup vendu quand j'ai commencé à bosser chez le disquaire l'année suivante, en 96. C'était le disque facile à conseiller. Tu aimais le rock ? Prends ça. Tu aimais la pop ? Prends ça. Tu voulais juste un truc pour te réveiller le matin ? Prends ça. C'était l'album consensus, mais un consensus de qualité, pas un truc mou du genou. Il y a une virtuosité cachée chez Supergrass. Mick Quinn à la basse est un monstre sous-estimé. Danny Goffey tape sur ses fûts comme s'il leur en voulait personnellement. Et Gaz... Gaz a une voix qui peut tout faire, du crooner ironique au punk éraillé. Est-ce que c'est un chef-d'œuvre absolu de l'histoire de la musique ? Peut-être pas au sens où on l'entend. Ce n'est pas un album qui a changé la face du monde ou réinventé la roue. Mais est-ce que c'est un album essentiel ? Absolument. C'est une capsule temporelle, c'est l'odeur de l'année 1995, c'est l'insouciance avant la gueule de bois de la fin des années 90. Je lui mets un 4 sur 5 solide. Pourquoi pas 5 ? Parce que mon cœur appartient aux ténèbres, vous le savez bien. Parce qu'il manque peut-être cette profondeur abyssale que je recherche souvent dans la musique, ce truc qui te retourne l'âme et te laisse prostré sur le carrelage. Supergrass ne me donne pas envie de pleurer sur le sort de l'humanité, et c'est peut-être là sa seule "faiblesse" à mes yeux de vieux briscard du post-punk. Mais honnêtement, on s'en fout car on n'a pas toujours besoin de pleurer. Parfois, on a juste besoin de courir nu dans le jardin (au sens figuré, s'il vous plaît, j'ai des voisins) en hurlant des refrains débiles. Et pour ça, "I Should Coco" est imbattable. C'est un disque qui fait du bien, un disque médicament contre la morosité ambiante. Et rien que pour ça, pour cette bouffée d'oxygène pur au milieu de ma collection de disques de neofolk dépressif et de métal industriel, il mérite sa place sur l'étagère du haut. C'était Supergrass, c'était 1995, et bordel, c'était bien.

I’ve heard this one before! I really liked it and I like how the album flows between each song. By the end it mellowed out a bit and I really liked that. It’s super fun and a really good listen!

Unapologetically dumb fun with a string of pop singles that rival the Buzzcocks and Madness.

Great album, It starts with an upbeat tone and goes into a slower type of beat towards the end.

Punkier than I expected.

Peppy

Better than alright

Already in my regular rotation!

Jaunty fun

Yeah, really enjoyed this. I should listen to more Supergrass Songs added to playlist: - I'd Like To Know - Alright - Sofa Of My Lethargy

i enjoyed listening to rock more than i thought

wait i really liked this i’ve been listening multiple times

A loud, enticing start to an overall satisfying album. This was close to a no-skip album for me, but unfortunately a hand full of weak songs peppered through out brought this britrock odyssey from a 5/5, to a 4. favorite tracks: I’d Like to Know, and Lenny.

https://record.club/anasaturno/reviews/albums/supergrass-i-should-coco

Пластилиновый бритпоповый звук немного сбивает с толку, но в общем это очень живо, здорово и игриво. И да, было приятно внезапно встретить песню, которую знаешь всю жизнь (вы знаете про какую песню я говорю). Лучшая песня: I`d Like To Know

I like this. Nesten litt mer poppete radiohead. Alright høres ikke ut som den høre heim i albumet

Crazy variety on this album, really liked it. Only knew the iconic Alright song, the rest was new to me

One of the quirkier britpop entries, good fun

07/10 07.01.2026

this one’s funky, which is exactly what i like in an album. this will def be on rotation for me. 5/5 ⭐️

fun as hell.

I'm surprised as how much I like this. It actually feels like a solid progression from previous britrock. And actually, it's just really good rock. The song I've noted below is a bit above and beyond the rest, but there's some really good songs on this album. "Strange Ones", "She's So Loose", and "Time", just to name a few of them. It's a surprisingly really good album. Not a whole lot of great going on, but consistently good! An album that doesn't maybe have a ton of depth but does have a ton of width. I would definitely listen to this whole thing again. Favorite Song(s): Alright

Track 1. (I’d Like To Know) Interesting song, but I like it. 8.3/10 Track 2. (Caught By the Fuzz) short, don’t love how they sing choppy and add a weird fuzzy sound. It’s good though. 6.8/10 Track 3. (Mansize Rooster) 7/10 Track 4. (Alright) oh so this is where this song is from, classic summer vibe. 9/10 Track 5. (Lose It) love the gituar. 8/10 Track 6. (Lenny) 7.4/10 Track 7. (Strange One) definitely strange intro thats for sure. 7.2/10 Track 8. (Sitting Up Straight) 7/10 Track 9. (She’s So Loose) 8.8/10 Track 10. (We’re Not Suppost To) odd intro, not really my vibe. 5/10 Track 11. (Time) 8.2/10 Track 12. (Sofa Of My Lethargy) 9/10 Track 13. (Time To Go) wish this was longer would’ve been one of my favs. 8.6/10 Overall Score: 7.7/10

I don't normally like Britpop but I really liked this! Going to relisten for sure

Super entertaining! Kind of shocked when I saw this because I only know them from a quick feature in the shit head comedy called Benchwarmers (a 2 star comedy that I adore & have seen 100 times). I loved how it changes from 2000s punk (reminiscent of Blur, Green Day or earlier Cage The Elephant) to what I think the Pixies sound like (creepier punk rock IMO) and more. This happens from Strange Ones (track 7) to the end. Great find!

Pop punk deliciousness.

Aggressively British and a bit of me all in one, I loved it Best = I'd like to know Skip = Alright (tv ad trauma) or We're not supposed to (hated the noises)

Kind of just a good rock album nothing too special.

Interesting! IM SO SHOCKED WE ARE YOUNG IS FROM THE 90S????? to brzmi jak 2010 piosenka

pretty solid, album cover is really sick i like the style of music, just not the most diverse, i think the only song that stands out as pretty different from the other is alright which makes sense cuz its like the song from this album, I really enjoyed strange ones and time though as well really solid 4 album like good but kinda average 7.5/10

I was already enjoying this album and then a song from Clueless came on (Alright) and that really sealed my rating.

Never heard of this artist. Really liked it. We’ll have one more from them in the 1,001.

Good but very samesy start, however the album just gets better as it progresses. I very much enjoyed my time while listening to and I feel like there is real skill and talent involved in constructing this album. Seems like an underrated band and I wish I would have heard more of them sooner. Will definitely continue listening to them and this abum.

4/5 The album had a bit of a boring start, with songs that sounded very similarly, but it soon melted into this wonderful mix of songs that I enjoyed immensely. I already knew 'Alright' from before, but I got blown away by the rest of this album. I'm jumping on the bandwagon and saying that Supergrass is underrated as fuck and needs more attention. I wish I could rate half points because 4 feels too low and 5 too high. I'd give it a 4.5 if I could.

Je connaissais Alright qui est sympa mais sinon toujours un peu pareil j'ai trouvé mais très sympa quand même

C’était sympa ! Je ne connaissais que « alright » Très diversifié dans le style je trouve

Du rock, encore du rock, toujours du rock, je soupçonne qu'ils mettent des albums dans la liste quand juste un titre a marché (genre Alright) mais bon c'était quand même sympa.

This album took me right back, a great album from the 90’s

These Brits absolutely know how to build a massive wall of sound. There are some fucking incredible Brit-Pop tracks here like "I'd Like To Know" and "Alright" and that opening run is pretty much Brit-Pop perfection. Then "Lenny" hits and just kills the momentum. Not unlistenable, just completely misplaced. The second half is still strong overall, but if they had ditched "Lenny" and "We're Not Supposed To", this thing would have been a flawless ride start to finish. "We're Not Supposed To" honestly sounds like it was recorded mid psychedelic meltdown with a mountain of cocaine nearby. Still, it’s a killer Brit-Pop record. Could have easily pushed into all-time territory without those two tracks. As it stands, it’s a very confident, very loud, very addictive 8.5/10.

дефінетлі більш моє ніж попередній альбом, + звісно знаю сингл з цього альбомчику послухаю його сьогодні кілька разів і подивимось як мені зайде!! адейт: воно

Great Indie Rock from the 90s. Fun album. Standout track is track 4: Alright.

No luck catching them swans then

I think I've liked this most of all the Britpop we've gotten to so far. It has definitely has more of a power-pop/pop-punk energy that is different than Oasis or Pulp and I'm here for it. Comes ripping right out of the gates with a few great tracks, and Alright (as the only song I already knew) is fantastic. Some weird moments that I actually quite liked such as We're Not Supposed To. A band that I had known about but never listened much to, and was pleasantly surprised.

Never really heard of this band or album going into listening. Up tempo! Solid intro Listened through Alright - definitely a song I recognize but never realized this is the band. Really like the start of this album - all of the songs so far are catchy and I like the tempo of the album. Enjoyed 'Shees so Loose" "Time" is a fun one! A little change up compared to other tracks. There are a lot of fun and catchy songs up and down the album! Just as good as some other British bands I have heard more about. I appreciate the energy the band plays with and I like some of the samples at beginning of songs etc. Will certainly look to listen to this one again.

Fun album

I think of In It for the Money as our listening group's first good discovery to come out of this project - it came up really early (our 9th album), nobody in our group was familiar with Supergrass, and everyone rated it a 4 or 5. So it's nice to welcome Supergrass back again a few hundred albums later. Mostly worth the wait - I liked this album (the chipmunky "We're Not Supposed To" aside). I hadn't known "Alright" was Supergrass so that was kind of a nice surprise.

Very fun and funky but not my usual vibe

This was a lot of fun, didn't take itself too seriously or make itself too much of a joke, a really nice balance and a good change of pace. I'll definitely revisit this one.

Great record. Somehow I missed them when they came out, even though I was definitely the target audience.

had a good time with this one, shes so loose is a real bop

I was surprised by how good this was. I previously had heard "In It for the Money" and thought it was awful. This one rocks

Ok this is a fun album. I knew the name Supergrass but never listened to them before. This is a fun as hell album. It's lively, up tempo. Just a bunch of fun tunes to listen to while driving.

What a pleasant surprise. I always regarded this band as a one-hit wonder (albeit a great hit) but never checked out their other material. This entire album is just as exciting and refreshing as its single, bridging sounds and sideburns from The Beatles and Mungo Jerry to acts like The Fratellis and Wolfmother.

I added quite a few of these songs to my playlist! This is the closest to my wheelhouse I’ve gotten so far. I had heard “alright” before but didn’t realize this was who that was. Favorite song was probably Sitting Up Straight

Låter väldigt bra, helt enkelt!

This is a really rockin’ album. I was expecting more of a poppy sound, but was pleasantly surprised. I definitely want to check out more of their stuff.

Senere britpop lavet af teenagere. Dyrker virkelig cool Britannia mentaliteten. Det lyder også meget punket ift at det er fra 90’erne og under britpop eraen. Lavet af meget unge (19 årige nogle af dem) så teksterne er bare at have det grineren og det kan man også høre på teksterne. Det er bare ungdom frihed og have det grineren. De bruger også orgel så det lyder også lidt som noget fra start 70’erne og slut 60’erne (classic Rock). Synes der er mange gode sange og det er sjovt at lytte til, så det får en høj karakter. Det er sådan noget jeg gerne ville lytte til på en sommerdag med kolde øl og massere af fest. Der er også mange gode langsommere sange på til noget chill rock som giver mig lyst til at få lavet sådan en playliste.

I'd heard of the band but didn't think I knew any of their music, but then I discovered I knew Alright. The album contains music in a number of different styles. I recognised The Beatles, Elton John and The Who influences but there were probably others too. Musically good and vocally OK too, but the vocals were too 'fuzzy' at times for me. All said, I didn't know Supergrass but I'm glad I've heard them and I'll look out for other albums by them now.

This is a great record. Enjoyed most of the tracks here, and most of them were upbeat and catchy. Favourite Track(s): I'd Like to Know, Mansize Rooster, Lose It, Strange Ones, Sitting Up Straight Least Favourite Track(s): We're Not Supposed To

Dark, intense, and brooding. 4

Bit like Ween though with lower diversity. Young, energetic, noisy, vivid and rambunctious. I love it! 4.3

Good stuff. Mix of pacing was great. Easy to get lost in.

This was released on my 15th birthday. I listened to it a lot. Signs of the great albums they were yet to release. Sounds like kids figuring out their sound. The ear for melody is there already though.

Bangs actually

This was the first album I've listened to since starting this a couple of days ago that I hadn't even heard of, though I definitely know the song "alright". I haven't listened to much 90s britpop but I enjoyed this album quite a bit, it's fun to listen to. I'll definitely be coming back to it.

Reminded me a bit of Black Flag and Bad Brains. Love the speed and playfulness. Is energetically misfit and feels like a good pre-surf album, need to listen more closely to lyrics. Not 5 starts cause honestly nothing hitting as hard as Alright. Maybe I'll find more tracks like that

Taaskin tuttu bändi lähinnä nimeltä. Tiesin tältä levyltä hitti-biisin ”Alright”. Bändin The Smiths coveri ”Some Girls are bigger than other” on bändin tutuin biisi mulle. Tää oli aivan hyvä levy.

Genre: Britpop This guy was right up my alley. High energy, Britpop flair, and power pop vibes. I enjoyed a good number of these tracks a lot, but Alright might be a new all-time fav of mine. An easy listen, and a rewarding listen. Had never heard of Supergrass, but I’m looking forward to learning more! 4/5

Album No. 0063 on my list. I’ve known a couple of songs from this album before and liked them. The rest of the album is equally good! “I Should Coco” is a solid album at the rougher, punk-esque end of Britpop and features some cool, fun 90s rock tracks. Everything’s pretty direct, pretty fun, mostly pretty short. “Caught By The Fuzz”, “Alright” (of course), and “Sofa of my Lethargy” are my favorites. 4/5 stars!

Pretty good. Not sure how I missed it

muito massa

Toll, dass ich endlich einen Zugang zu Supergrass gefunden hab :) Das Album geht weg wie nix, super kurzweilig, alles kommt und geht so locker und natürlich wie nur was, dazu eine kleine Portion Weirdness - das macht mich gerade richtig glücklich :)

I was so ready to launch into my “I don’t like pop punk” review and then the album really surprised me. There was some really nice use of half time and broad triplets to break up the punk drone, and the back third was a true delight (highlight- sofa). Nice. This is what this exercise is all about

How about that, an album of the 1990s that I actually enjoy. Like everyone else I've heard Alright but the rest of this album plays. Nothing terribly innovative going on here but that doesn't matter if it as pleasant to the ear as this is. Making me a little curious as to what is in store for the rest of the Britpop, I just imagined it was Oasis and Oasis knockoffs.

Way more of a banger than I expected and had any right to be. The songs aren't just loud and simple, there is depth, variety, and fun throughout. Will definitely return to this, and I hate pop-punk

It’s a big 4 from me, vibes

Alright gets this a 4. Thats how much I like that song.

In general, I am prone to like post-punk though some bands are more difficult to like/appreciate than others (I am looking at you Oasis). This album took me a few listens to appreciate. But I am now definitely in the I like this band a lot. And will go out of my way to listen to some of their later albums. 4 stars.

Kinda fun

Fun album by a fun band that keeps getting better with age. 3.5/ 5

Surprisingly fantastic album

So, I loved it. Somewhere between British garage band, Fall colors, and teenage angst, this album completes a setup for where our late 1990s and early 2000s bands meet. Was surmised by the lyricality of some songs. Catchy songs that placed me into a nostalgic movie scene, complete with cuts around a busy city or musical montage? Yes please. Thanks for sharing, 1001albumsgenerator

I thought I'd never heard of this until Alright came on and then I realized I'd only ever heard Alright. If this had been shown to me in high school, I would've absolutely eaten this up. Even now, I'm kinda absolutely eating this up. It's got the raw british rock feel that I thoroughly enjoy despite my best efforts. This will probably shake up my rotation and my blue-coat ass hates to admit that.

Usually when I listen to these albums, I’m busy doing something with work, driving, playing a game, etc. At least on the first listen. Imagine my surprise as I started humming along with the songs in the middle of the album. If my subconscious liked it that much, I figured I needed to give it another go. Had a ton of fun with this, and I only disliked the one song where they talked like kids bc it triggered my misophonia. Honestly feeling a 4.5 to 5 on this.

This was fun. "Alright" was the only song I had previously heard from this album, shoutout How I Met Your Mother. It's crazy how much this influenced the early Arctic Monkeys, whom I love. The jam on "Sofa (Of My Lethargy)" was pretty crazy, defintely a standout for me. I'll be back to this one.

Fun

A fun album that reminded me of my youth

Yes! Some power pop fun. This is a band I skipped when they were around. I actually didn't know I had heard them until "Alright" came up. That song was everywhere back in the day. Lots of hooks and raw energy. The first half of the album holds most of the "pop" numbers. "Caught by the Fuzz" and "Mansize Rooster" are the most notable for me. Back half of the album is more musically interesting. Great stuff. My favorites: "Lose It" and "Sitting Up Straight."

Some of the middle is a little too boring (read: punk meh-lodies) but the rest makes up for it, particularly Alright and the last 5 songs, of which Sofa is my personal fave. 3.5 stars rounding up to 4.

Yup, I liked it! I heard several songs from this album already in the past, so here I am :)

This was a fun discovery of 90’s punk pop. Will explore more of the Supergrass catalog!

Previously rated: #200 - In It For The Money (3/5) ****************************** Album #945 I don't remember what their previous album sounded like, but I gave it a 3, so this one was better. A little punk, a little pop, it sounded older than 1995 for sure. I did recognize the song Alright, probably from a TV commercial. This was a pretty good album. The slightly grating vocals could have become an issue if the album was longer.

Frenetic. High energy. This was a fun album. “Alright” I recognized immediately. The music doesn’t demand your attention and can be enjoyed as a backdrop in the background.

From the opening I thought this will be fun. Really enjoyed it and it didn’t seem to me like what I think of as 1995. Some of it felt older and other parts newer. It had a familiarity to it, I think that was because of where they drew inspiration for their melodies.

Great britpop album, seems harder rock than most and really enjoyable

Good album. Has that song from the advert on it.

A fun find! Surprised this came out in 95; it sounds like such a 2000's album. I'm into it.

Full of energy, genuinely excellent songwriting and instrumentation. Sounds like a group of kids playing their heart out for crowds of 100 in shitty dive bars. Some of the best shows I’ve ever been to fit that bill. I’m almost 30 and this taps into my brain in all the oozing nostalgic, teenage rebel I never was type of ways.

Enjoyed this!

One major banger + an assortment of minor ones... fun!

i thought In It for the Money was a pretty good album, let's see how this measures up I'd Like to Know - 4/5 Caught by the Fuzz - 4/5 Mansize Rooster - 5/5 Alright - 5/5 Lose It - 5/5 Lenny - 4/5 Strange Ones - 5/5 Sitting Up Straight - 4/5 She's So Loose - 4/5 We're Not Supposed To - 3/5 Time - 4/5 Sofa (Of My Lethargy) - 4/5 Time to Go - 3/5 Average score: 4.2/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ pretty good. i liked this about equally to the other album i heard some months ago (and they scored pretty similarly)

Raw, energetic, chaotic, distorted, energetic, alive. Unlike some pop punk albums, its musically interesting and authentic. Definitely makes you feel young and free. The whole album really stands up and the tunes are fun and catchy. Favourite track - Mansize Rooster or She's So Loose. 8.5/10

The substance isn't deep but very enjoyable, just as you think you've heard it they change things up. It has a teenage juvenile quality, full of urgency and tongue in cheek. But the instrumentals aren't simple either. Perfect 4 territory, fun but flawed.

Good

A nice listen, tracks flow nicely

This was a lot of fun. Had no clue what I was in for but there wasn’t a bad song on the album

Great, your annoying little brother and his group of friend started a Britpop band and now they’re making perennial power pop/pop punk-whatever anthems for other dirtbags teens. Can’t write for shit, but that’s “alright” since the music doesn’t need it to have a good time. If Oasis and Blur were the Beatles and Stones of their scene, then Supergrass must be the Monkees. Favorite Tracks: I Like to Know, Caught by the Fuzz, Alright, Strange Ones, Sitting Up Straight, Time, Sofa (of my Lethargy)

I had never heard this album before, but it's rockin'! Added to my collection for future listening for sure.

Musical equivalent of a vodka red bull. Not the kind of thing i could play on repeat but feel like i’ll always enjoy it whenever I do.

Some bangers here. I was only familiar with Diamond Hoo Ha, which apparently is considered their weakest album.

Ganz gut

Fav Song: Alright

This record took some time to grow on me except for the track Alright which I’ve always liked.

It kind of wonders with the last couple songs, but overall a solid britpop record.

This was really good. A few songs at the end kept it from being a 5 for me but it was real close.

Really enjoyed this, would spin again.

Whata fun album. I never thpught Supergrass would offer such a round britpop album 4/5

Quite liked this one. Already knew and loved Alright.

Why these dudes aren't selling out stadia on the level of Oasis to this day is beyond me. But what the hell do I know, I was under the impression they were an American band for the longest time til I actually heard them. Supergrass is funny, clever and they play they shit out of punky, punchy rock songs. Their best song isn't even on this album, but that just means you get to discover more.

7.9/10 had no idea that i was so familiar with so many songs of theirs. i only was able to listen to it once, but i would definitely revisit. very nice

Really liked this one!

A welcome antidote to Suede.

Banging

1995 Purchased back in the day, and I must confess to still loving it. Enjoyed giving this a spin again. An alternative and far more creative side to the Britpop era. Heard before ✅️ Listened this time ✅️ Revisit ✅️ ★★★★☆ (7/10)

As a 90s teen, it would be impossible to not recognize Alright by Supergrass. I mean, as if!?! I’m just totally bummed now that I didn’t bother to take more interest in the band than Cher Horowitz did in her driving. This is the kind of album where it doesn’t even matter what they’re saying because the delivery just rocks. The short, explosive songs feel like fever dreams in the best way, while the more mellow ones give a bit of respite. The musicianship is tight and the rhythms are intoxicating. The album feels like it mellows toward the end, but I enjoyed that as a natural progression in energy flow. I’m beginning to realize I’m apparently a pretty big Britpop fan. “To thine own self be true!”

Finally, the author of this book has selected a good punk band. Now I have to rate it 5 stars so that it looks like I don't hate punk lol.

Pretty fun

I've definitely heard Alright before. A nice and bright bopper built around a plonky bit of repetitive piano and a dancey bass line that calls to mind Bowie and the Beatles simultaneously. Singer sounds a hell of a lot like Supertramp on this one -- almost uncanny. Lenny is a fun little ripper made for driving to. Sofa (Of My Lethargy) was a very enjoyable bit of pop-psychedelia that gave way to a dripping instrumental jam session. I'd say that this along with The Verve and Happy Mondays make for a streak of solid brit-pop, with some strong psychedelic influences. This one averaged good-to-great throughout and I wouldn't mind another tour through. For that I'm giving this a soft 4.

I definitely know this Alright song from a commercial or something. We're Not Supposed To is a bad trip inducing song. Sofa (Of my Lethargy) is a standout. Great track. I appreciate that is got weird and didn't stay classic Britrock/pop. Nothing was mind blowing but definitely enjoyed this. Low 4.

Another solid album. I always forget that Supergrass have a harder sound than their singles catalogue would suggest and it's great

The kind of music 14 year old aspires to like. I knew Alright already but the rest was new. Super energetic and edgy, sometimes in a good way, sometimes not. Overall fun, makes me want to make bad decisions.

Good album

I saw Supergrass run through most of the songs from this on their 30th anniversary tour this summer and let me tell you, nothing makes a field of middle aged Englishmen feel young again quite like the piano riff from Alright. This is a cracking album and the first 4 songs are particularly brilliant and yet completely distinct. The album does bog down a bit about 2/3 of the way in before picking up for Sofa of my Lethargy But it’s the type of album you can only make when you’re as young as Supergrass were when this came out. It’s probably also best enjoyed if you’re listening to it at that age as well

Very fun, great energy

Franchement je m'attendais pas à aimer et pourtant c'était très très sympa, ça passe vite j'ai pas vu le temps passer c'est généralement une bonne chose. En plus de ça, la musique la plus populaire n'est pas la seul à être vraiment très sympa ce qui change de souvent.

I can’t claim to be the biggest Supergrass fan but I was very into this at the time and I still come back to it occasionally. A perfect distillation of Britpop, full of reverence yet also wearing its own heart on its sleeve, the collection of songs defies the mere 18 years of its principle songwriter Gaz Coombes who would go onto prove this wasn’t a fluke over a number of decades with The band and his solo work. It’s a fun album that’s aged really well and is packed with a youthful energy that perfectly captures that moment in time but also, any time and this wouldn’t sound out of place if it came out last week. _Alright_ is perhaps the fly in the ointment, as it’s been far too overplayed, although I DON’T have the disdain for it that many do.

A fine album, well done. It doesn't really bring anything new, but it is well constructed. Some fun pop garage rock kind of sound. Give it a go.

Rating: 7.5/10 What a fun, groovy album. Really enjoyed the punk influence which made the songs have this infectious vibe to them. Definitely better than their other album on the list.

Spätsommerpunk

Favorite Track: Alright

este álbum me ha gustado mucho xd

British proto-white-stripes with harmony? and a bass guitar?? sign me up

22/09/2025 This was a relatively okay album and what i needed while on holiday in Tunisia. What a dive! Spotify listeners:

Great songs, short album.

Fun angsty brit-pop.

Forgot how much fun Supergrass are. Great album

Had to listen to this twice to rate it. It’s a really fun time from start to finish. For people who can connect some memories to this one, it can definitely be a 5 star record. For me it’s a solid 4

This is a real where you've been on my whole life kind of moment.These guys are like if the white stripes and oasis had a baby.And that baby rocked

liked it more than what I expected

i like, some good ones, upbeat, inoffensive

I actually really enjoyed listening to this album in full! I’d only heard ‘Alright’ before so it was nice to listen to more of their music. This album is right up my alley because I love alternative and indie music so I was digging it the entire time. I would definitely jam out to this album again in the future!

Wow. Incredible interesting and enjoyable. I thought it was early skate rock at first. But turns out it was britpop. Not on my bingo card there. Will revisit for sure

As someone who missed the '90s, "Britpop" is an alien genre to me. (Though I can totally hear the influence of, say, The Kinks.) This...seems like a pretty good example of it? The only song familiar to me was "Alright", because it got discovered by advertisers five or ten years ago. I mostly get it. I don't love it, but that's very much a "not my genre" thing.

Didn’t realize I knew one of the songs!

a bit uneven, but worth checking out. Love the artwork, too. I am regularly coming back to this.

#116/1001. Since rhe band really wants to know, here are some places the strange ones go to: - abandoned nuclear icebreaker harbours - Polish milk bars - Nightclubs where you can sing Karaoke - old water towers - nearly abandoned villages in Estonia countryside - sauna (often) - North of 70° - Russian war memorials - Under the Eiffel tower - Last bus home - Reindeer round-up places - Forest paths you shouldn't bike on with a bike - Old mining sites - Iceland, especially places where a hot river and a cold river meet to swim - Somewhere else than a Supergrass gig However, I can only tell from my experience. Nice pop alternative album from a band which doesn't take itself to seriously, always a pleasure to find an artist like that.

Enjoyed this. Like a mix of The Kinks, The Clash, and The Killers

Good! 4.25

i think this is one i can objectively appreciate a lot. don’t think it’s one i’ll particularly get into, but i’ll probably come back to it as working music. i like mansize rooster, i like the harmony in the ‘why you lookin so crazy’ line. big fan of the guitar on ‘time’. for some reason i had ‘alright’ stored as a song by ‘fun.’

Heard of them, thought I didn't know any of their songs but actually 'Alright' is iconic, I just didn't know it was them. Fun energy, I enjoyed, happy to hear them again, but I don't think I'd seek out more of them again? Reminded me of bands like Kaiser chiefs I used to hear bits of in the early noughties.

Great first track. Starting strong with a 4. Lovely album. Great britpop. Like madness, with less ska. I didn’t know that Alright was a track on here or by them, which is a 5. Overall a 4.

I wasn't buying too many albums at the time this came out, so I only heard the singles, although there are quite a lot of them. It didn't really hit home quite how good this was until I listened to the whole thing.

Great blend of hooks and energy

Just a ton of fun.

New to me and I like it.

Fun garage influenced britpop.

Actually - pretty solid. Knew not of them, but starts out bouncing and energetic. You have heard "Alright" [ I had no idea who did that song]. Actually get 1 point of the surprise element

3.9 2nd Supergrass album and to be honest it's yet again pretty solid. Cracking first 30-40 minutes or so, I think the overplayed Alright is actually one of the weaker ones. Seems to run out of steam at the end, We're not supposed to shatters what was a good run and it struggles to climb to those heights again thereafter. Still, it makes me wonder why these guys were (or seemingly to me at least) never as big as a lot of the other 90s Brit bands that have made it on to here, when they clearly have as much if not more talent.

Калейдоскоп из 90-х. В который раз замечаю, что звук 90-х мне близок и понятен.

Good Brit pop!!!!

Whoa, only knew one song, but this album kind of ripped. Never heard of these guys before.

The soundtrack to every British coming-of-age film I swear

Solid album great sound few quality songs 4.3

p761. 1995. 4 stars. Fabulous mid 90s energetic Brit pop, packed with great tunes, sharp lyrics and a sense of humour.

Starts out really fun, and continues to be upbeat and high energy. Interesting sound, alternative the way I like it. Favs: I'd Like to Know, Strange Ones

thoroughly enjoyed listening

This is great! What a nice discovery. I've heard Alright from a show or movie or something, so I recognized that, but the rest was still above par.

bastante buono

4.5 me re gustó

Loved it!! Fun rock

Great album already had in my collection

Not heard this album before, although I have heard a couple of the songs including 'Alright' which is still a very popular song thirty years later.

I was reminded again of how much I’ve been sleeping on Supergrass, since I’ve really only listened to Alive. We’ve covered In It for the Money before, and I was surprised by how different it sounded compared to what I was expecting. I had the same experience this time. Instead of a bland pop album, I got a punk-driven record full of energy and cool riffs. Just the right balance of abrasive and cool. 4 stars.

What if Fuzzy Logic was English and made by sugar addicts. That was actually so good. Top 5 album on this gen probs

Hell yeah! Broke the curse of like 50 consecutive ass Brit rock albums. Love the dudes voice and the songs were super smart and fun and catchy. Loved the last song too

I listened to this album plenty when it came out and I'd forgotten how fun it is. It does tail off towards the end and Alright was massively overplayed and feels trite, but the first three tracks on I Should Coco put me in a great mood. A high four.

All day I have been comparing this to Crime of the Century and I have just now realised that that was Super✨tramp✨ and this is Super✨grass✨. Whoops! I wondered when Alright was going to come up! Anyway I guess the review I had in my head is being edited from "I prefer this to the previous Supergrass album" to "I prefer Supergrass to Supertramp". ... I never said I was going to be GOOD at this.

Great record! Somewhere between Oasis and the Beatles in sonic landscape. I’ll listen to this one again.

This group had escaped me, so I was not sure what I was going to get, even though I thought I had gotten the gist of the 'Britpop' movement. This is a great record- energy and hooks, high spirits and young fun. I experienced it as a kind of a Cheap Trick-ish power pop for the grunge generation. Could see this being an influence on the likes of Arctic Monkeys, Strokes, etc.
