I Should Coco

Love this

alternative "post punk"? not bad. wouldnt mind if it was already playing. didnt know that they played the "Alright" song.

Started out sounding like surfer punk and ended very chill.

Great energy! I liked it a lot. 4 stars.

I actually really liked this and would listen to it again. I of course know the song "Alright" from the Clueless movie soundtrack, but the rest of the album is tight and super fun.

Drummer is superb, and their infectious energy and evident polish, especially for teenagers, brings a lot of charisma

Supergrass: for me, a typical UK singles band, with albums -to which I had not listened for ages- that are solid at best. A while ago we had In It For The Money: 3 stars for me. I Should Coco, their debut is not that much different ..but the singles are even stronger and I like quite a few (but not all) non-album tracks as well - very surprising that Strange Ones wasn't one of the singles: 4 stars.

Aside from Alright popping up a few times on Spotify song radio, I was very unfamiliar to Supergrass. The first listen was irritating but did notice some quality songs, so played it again the following day and my opinion has improved a lot this time round. The singles aside from Alright (which was already great) went from annoying to pretty darn good and despite some of the corny tracks near the middle (i.e. chipmunk We're Not Supposed To), the final few songs made a strong high note to end on. There is a mood and a time for I Should Coco, but it's definitely a worthwhile listen despite a few bumps.

The first ever listen on this album led to a need for a second ever go-around. For this reviewer's purpose, that is a good thing. There is not much about this album that is spectacular, or that stands out other than a bit of a 'whiplash' effect from high energy punk 'wannabes' to rolling in the blues. Somehow, this works and that makes the album fun and that at least for this experience, earns its grade for being a surprise. Most people will recognize "Alright" through commercials, retail radio, etc., but the album overall maintains interest throughout, so much so that there will be a third listen-through and perhaps a new favorite has been discovered.

Sure grasps an element of fun. Good To listen to loud

A cool early Brit version of pop-punk.

Great fun album. Alright and Caught By the Fuzz are great tracks. Most of the album holds up nicely and it sounds like the band was having fun making the album.

Neki albumi su za hodanje, neki za na zvucnike. Ovaj je sigurno ovo drugo, a možda i prvo. Odličan album prošo ko da je trajo 10 minuta, nema tu nekog velikog circlejerka oko pjesama, sve zvuče slično i kako trebaju. 🙌

Started with that particular sound that is typical of the punkier side of Britpop and I groaned. Then it turned out that every song was the band doing something different, and new, and exciting and generally just really really good. Alright is an absolute classic single which probably doesn't represent the overall style too well but certainly showcases the quality on display.

Very fun

Really enjoyed this one. Will be revisiting for sure.

I was surprised at how many of these songs I knew. I think I had heard of Supergrass before, but I don't think I knew any of their songs really. But there were at least 2 or three of these I knew from films or the radio. As a whole, this grew on me as the album progressed. The vocalist reminded me initially of Jack White. But the music doesn't really sound like his, there's a bit more variety here which I thought was pretty cool. All in all, this might be a band I look more into. I really dug this album. A low 4, at the least.

Still no Beatles and a second Supergrass album? Are these guys good enough to have two albums on this list? I don't know but I really started to dig this album after a couple listens. I definitely liked their second album more from the get-go but I was rocking along with this one soon enough. Like their second album, the first half of this debut is quite good and then fades a bit. Still, lots of rock attitude to enjoy and some variety to boot. My favorite track right away was Lenny - pounding sound. Alright is, well, alright - enjoyable (and more poppy) but a bit overplayed. At first I thought Strange Ones had sort of a confused punk sound but it also grew on me. I'd Like to Know is better (more consistent melody and sound), and it is also about what the strange ones get up to. Caught by the Fuzz and Mansize Rooster are solid; the latter is better while the former has a little something that annoys me. Both have the Britpop rock/pop sound with some keyboard jangle (think the Fratellis). Lose It has some nice edge to the sound, one of the best songs on the album I think. Sitting Up Straight has a fun frenetic pace (after a boring intro). I was less interested in the songs after that, except for Time. It had the best rhythms on the whole album - maybe my second favorite track. Maybe they don't deserve two albums on the 1,001 list but it was still quite good and I'm glad I got exposed to it because I only knew the song Alright before today.

This is a fun, cool album. Great debut. I'm not a big fan of 90s britpop, but this is definitely some intelligent fun power pop I can get behind. We previously listened to their second album In It for the Money. I liked that one but none of the music was sticking in my head for some reason. This one seems a bit rawer and pulled me in more than their second album. I liked all the tracks except for "We're Not Supposed To" which was kind of annoying. I watched the video for Alright since that was the big hit - I liked the callbacks to "The Prisoner" (e.g., the Prisoner bicycle and "rover"). I'll call it a 4 - a really good album that I can see coming back to, but not at the same level as a 5 for me.

This is a little more my speed than the last two days. Alright is a tiktok song!

Enjoyed the singles I'd heard before and the ones that were new to me.

Love this album. And I liked the next one “in it for the money” even more. Great 90s music, full of energy and fun.

Precocious teenagers set in aspic. Still fun.

This is pretty good. I liked the manic energy of the title track and 'Alright' was a throwback.

Favorite songs: Alright, Time To Go.

Better than I had thought it would have been.

This is a great album. Being raised on quite a bit of Brit-Punk this just gives me so many good vibes. Alright is just an all time classic. Only song I didn't really like was "We're Not Supposed To" which was just a really strange departure from the rest of the album. "Sofa Of My Lethargy" is a good track that just goes on for a little too long. This also might be the most upbeat punk album that I have ever heard.

This is a rating splitter. It starts off like a beast with hit after hit, but then it has a right wobble. If this was about 3 tracks shorter it'd be a 5 star but I just can't dish out the highest ever achievement any album can receive (5 stars from bort) to an album where you skip that many tracks. Shame.

GAZ! I remember these guys, they had a big hit with “Alright” kind of like a second wave Britpop invasion. Pretty good record deserves more listens!

Apparently this band is quite popular, but I never heard of them. Just know the sample of Alright being used in different songs. But this album is great! Favourite songs: - I’d like to know - Alright - Strange ones

Really enjoyed it! Super catchy and melodic, this is the kind of music that brings a smile to my face. I guess I should listen to more Supergrass!

I guess I just have an affinity for something about English Rock. It resonates on a personal, exclusively British level. Alright is rightly it’s showstopper.

Super fun album. I enjoyed it.

Brit rock done right. I’ve heard a few of these in ads or on the radio. Solid listen.

Really strong

Better than most britpop of the 90s. Hints of punk. Britpop with some teeth

This one screams rock and roll! It’s hard to believe that a band of kids would come up with this record. It is a collection of catchy songs with an excellent production. It keeps its promise and never feels slow or boring. Don’t know why Supergrass was not one of the big examples of the 90s Britpop movement, they definitely had the rockstar material and songs to back up such statement!

Lot's of fun.

Great fun - I think it’s an under appreciated album vis-à-vis it’s contemporaries - it’s a good punk ish album with a tinge of the kinks and a bit of its own thing - and the song ‘alright’ is a timeless classic - the perfect anthem for the youth of its time

actually really liked this one!

Some throwbacks which I recognised! But a slightly strange album

Bratty. I like it!

3.5

Leuk album, waarvan ik toch wel 1 nummer herkende.

The band slightly differ from the average, due to a more punk, Buzzcocks-like feel. (7/10) FT: Alright

The opening sound like the Horrible Histories Tv theme. Its like good pop punk. Enjoying it so far. Second track, Caught by the Fuzz is also good. I wasn't aware that Supergrass had such a punky sound to them. Track 4 is also a banger, though I like it less than 1 and 2. Track 5 also slaps. Goods - I'd like to know. Caught by the Fuzz.

Dang. I was obsessed with a string poppy-punk story telling UK bands from The Kinks to XTC to the Kaiser Chiefs. How did I miss out on Supergrass? In any case, I'm here now.

Great fun. Couple of loose ones

Jeeeeeeezus wat vet om weer eens te horen!

Energiek, puntig, opgewekt, en ja ook een aardig deel jeugdsentiment. Bij elkaar opgeteld voldoende voor een 4.

Honestly pretty surprised I never listened to this one. Always heard of the name but don't know I could name a single song of theirs. I expected pop but got pretty good rock/punk/pop mix. Then "Alright" came on and I immediately recognized the song and band.

Rating: 7/10 Best songs: I’d like to know, Alright, Strange ones

Goods

Another cool British rock album from a surprisingly good band I’ve never heard of. Contains a lot of different sounds almost sounding like they’re from different eras, punk to hard rock, to even psychedelic music

Much better than a lot of the stuff that was around that swamped it

Feeling generous today!

Its a good rock album. The band doesn’t reinvent rock in their discography but they offer the energy and fun that has always transcended the genre. The last 3/4 songs offer the best writing on the album.

Qualitay

große sympathie, viele gute songs und eine der wenigen bands, die bei hoher geschwindigkeit noch grooven können und zudem noch eine smashiness mitbringen, die seit the who selten zu hören. ich will mehr punkte geben, aber es fehlt und fehlte immer irgendein noch ungenau definierter letzter rest, der sie so richtig an mein herz wachsen ließ. 3.8

Verstehe kaum, wie nach diesem Kracher Erstling dann das sophomore „In it for the money“ folgen konnte, wirkt doch das dritte s/t eher als konsequentere Fortsetzung. „I should coco“ durchläuft dabei innerhalb seiner 40 Minuten selbst einen sagenhaften Reifeprozess. Fegt ein jugendlich kraftstrotzender Wirbelsturm über die A-Seite hinweg, fahren auf B wahnsinnig selbstbewusste Könner eine immens lässige Abfahrt den Mucker Mountain herunter. „Who could ask for more“ than 3.8

Keine Zeit gehabt zum Durchhören heute, Bewertung mal nur basierend auf wie das früher war: We are young, we run green Keep our teeth nice and clean See our friends, see the sights Feel alright Alles gesagt, fantastischer Soundtrack dazu!

Enjoyed this immensely. hugely Underated.

Solid bop

4.25

Like a best of supergrass this album… wall to wall bangers! So much fun.

Really good. She’s So Loose was the standout for me.

Ah yes, my vibe of alt rock. This is so fun!! I knew the original band of "Alright" was an alt rock band, but didn't know it was them! While these songs are all great, none of them stood out to me.

Fantastic album with really great hits. Love she's so lose and the classic alright

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! favorite tracks: I'd like to know, Strange ones, She's so loose, Time

A classic britsh punk rock pop 90's.

New group that I hadn’t heard of and really liked! What a range on the album. Will definitely listen again

Great album - young and free-spirited Essence of British naivety in the best way possible Light-hearted and fun! Lovely really. Fave tracks: She's so loose, We're not supposed to, Alright, Time, Time to go

rough first half, softer second half

HORRIBLE HISTORIES it's quite fun! would've enjoyed in my libertines phase i've heard 'alright' many times in ads etc.

Best Songs: Alright, Lose It, Lenny Worst Song: We're Not Supposed To

Really loved this at first! Great sound and energy. Toward the end there was the Chipmunk sounding song and it dropped off from there. Would definitely still listen again.

A good compliment to Elastica the day before. Solid 4, another example of the best kind of 90s.

Such a great sound, and a fun little album. For an album released in 1995, it has a rather timeless quality.

Coole Nummern BritRock a lá 90s

Production: 12/20 Songwriting: 13/20 Innovation: 6/20 Bangers: 20/20 Emotional response: 15/20 =66 A rollicking good one this

Love it

Ah, the 90’s

I thought this album was full of bops! The obvious hit is Alright, but I loved the first track maybe even more than that one!

Very good, need to relisten to find faves but solid all around!

Review accidentally uploaded under a different pseudonym - sorry!

Música boa mas sem ser muito meu estilo.

Good sound.

I was ready to really hate this based just on the album cover. Seemed like it was going to be real miserable. Guess what? It's a ton of fun! They have serious Fratellis energy.

Nice

Upbeat, cheeky pop rock. When this first came out I was in an "only metal" phase, so didn't appreciate it at the time. Still, had a lot less antipathy for Supergrass than I did for Blur and Oasis. Listening now, there's a lot I like. I appreciate "I'd Like to Know" and "Strange Ones" being like a call and response. Fave track is probably "Caught by the Fuzz"

i was surprised at how much i enjoyed this one. it was a nice blend of things i like: dreamy guitars, fuzzy guitars, punk-rock guitars...all kindsa good stuff. noe more album i likely wouldn't have given a second look without this list.

Bright and energetic britpop with a lot of songwriting chops on display.

I have never heard of this band, but I had so much fun listening to it yesterday. So pleasantly surprised!

Such a good vibe throughout, nice and punky but with some good backup vocals.

so good

Playing this album back to back with supertramp was quite the transition. This album transported me to a high energy and sweaty pub gig and I wasn’t opposed to it. Reminded me of charlatans vibes

Production: 12/20 Songwriting: 13/20 Innovation: 6/20 Bangers: 20/20 Emotional response: 15/20 =66 A rollicking good one this

There are a lot of bright poppy hits on this album, and it's just very youthful and fun!! "Sitting Up Straight", "Mansize Rooster" and "I'd Like to Know" are great new finds beyond the obviously awesome singles.

Never knew the song "Alright" was by them. Genuinely enjoyable album. A poppy-punk vibe. Great listening.

I've only ever heard Alright before

I can't not see Gaz Coombes talking to Ali G about "Super-grass". The whole Britpop thing is a bit of a mystery to me, I know all the classics but haven't really pored through the albums before. I was actually pretty surprised and pleased with this. It somehow sends me back to a time in the 90s that I was too young to remember or experience in any meaningful way. It's gives us some hope, we've suffered through 16 years of Tory bullshit, but Blair is on the horizon, who we naively believe to be basically Jesus Christ who plays guitar instead of wasting his time on carpentry. Separate note: Martyn, after reading your review I listened to The Mouse and the Mask - what an incredible album!

relaxed und recht nice, such als Hintergrund gedudel oder beim Lesen bleibt aber nicht so wirklich im Kopf also 4/5

great

1995. Key Songs: Alright, Mansize Rooster

thank you 1001 albums for the two 1995 britpop albums in a row. theres at least one more too./ wha tthe heck!!! anyway this is significantly better than different class, much more consistent, more good songs. not quite a 9 still but i could see myself relistening to this one much sooner. "alright" is excellent. theres a ton of other jams here. were not supposed to is weirdly pitched up. fucking nightcore shitg. for some reason the production on this album makes it sound like its from the 60s. album cover reinforces this vibe since it looks kinda 50s. anyway great album

there's really smth about british male rockbands

Thanks

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

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

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

Yeah it was alright

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

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

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

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

Not my thing

Brit pop punk

A fun album. Good 90s pop rock. Alright

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

Love everything except the voice

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

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

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

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

A few weird songs stopped me from giving it 4 stars

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

It’s alright I guess

it was alright

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

Children of the Buzzcocks

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

Solid.

3.7/5

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

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

Pretty goodd

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

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

Bonkers, fun, zany, not my thing.

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

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

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

It was fine.

Not bad, proper english rock

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

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

This felt like an album built off of one hit.

Leaning towards 4 but cant

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

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

Not bad!

Thank you for the energy. 6/10

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

Nostalgic song (Alright).

Not terrible

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

6/10

I had fun

not for me but a bit fun

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

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

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

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

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

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

Solid

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

Brit rock with a more punk sound. Favorite Track: Alright or Sofa

I had never heard of Supergrass before. The record isn't bad—a colorful mix of punk, Britpop, and the Beatles.

Fun listen

You shouldn't judge a book by its cover but I really dislike this album cover. At least the music is good.

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.

A couple of great songs but little else that grabbed me.

6.5/10

Fun and I love the track Alright.. but overall a little messy but its got the energy

3.5

Fun! Nice British indie. Recording and mix sounds trash though

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.

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. ★★★

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.

It’s fun, some really catchy tunes. I think this probably made a big impact in the mid-90s garage rock revival type era.

fresh air

For britpop, it's decent.

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.

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

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???

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

Kinda wish each song was about 10% stronger.

wish this were like 10-20% more punk

A fun album that probably doesn't belong on this list, by my reckoning.

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.

Pretty nice.

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.

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

Not bad, felt a little different than the other britpop we’ve had but there were no standouts for me. Jangly and British.

Very 60s influenced. Fine but not memorable. I'd prefer Oaisis.

It was a fun listen. Not for my tastes necessarily yet fun. Never heard of the band though.

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.

13 songs Added to liked: -Alright (knew the song)

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.

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.

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.

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

Decent alternative rock album.

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.

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.

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

Ein paar interessante Melodien, die teilweise sogar sehr catchy sind (und 'Alright' natürlich, banger) aber sonst sehr unspektakuläres album

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.

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.

Noe kult, noe litt kjedelig. "Sofa" er favoritt. Og en uventet låt jeg har hørt før ("Alright"). Sterk 3 🤌

I really liked the beginning of the album there’s was okay

No. 178 Quite good. Quite fun. Full of youth

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

1 - I'd Like to Know (raucous and punky in its opening and it even includes a keyboard! This opener reminds me very much of a Cardiacs song. It thrashes around and hits the listener over the head with its absolute maximalist sound. Promising enough as an opener) 4/5 2 - Caught by the Fuzz (driven by an intense bassline, this one thrashes around for about 2 minutes and some. It reminds me of trashing a room just to feel something. Very old-school punk in its aesthetic and attitude) 3.5/5 3 - Mansize Rooster (apparently one of their better known songs; I personally know nothing of this band. Lyrics are somewhat absurd and don't really have much to do with one another. This one is alright I guess) 3.5/5 4 - Alright (easily this band's best known song and for good reason. This is the softest and poppiest track so far - granted, we're only 4 tracks in. It fits right in with the poppy alt rock of its era and actually works very well by using its sardonic lyrics and upbeat instrumentation. A song for a day at the beach) 4/5 5 - Lose It (there's a weird whistle note screech at the start followed by a burning hot riff that underpins everything. This one feels 60s inspired, a callback to the garage rock era that paved the way for punk a decade later. I actually like this one quite a bit for that vintage quality and the massive stonery guitar) 4/5 6 - Lenny (the super repetitive intro makes you feel like the tape skipped, but the old-school hard rock riff comes in and gets you bouncing soon after that. This one is very surf-rock and again takes its cues from its predecessors; this is definitely an album that wears its influences on its sleeves) 3.5/5 7 - Strange Ones (for some reason I can't stop imaging Peter Garrett singing this song. I guess with how "ordinary" it is compared to the previous fare, Midnight Oil would do something like this as a deep cut. That aside it's actually quite good as a mid-tempo crushing middle section comes in before the more upbeat choruses. The solos are an added bonus for this one. All in all a good song to mark the halfway point of this album) 3.5/5 8 - Sitting Up Straight (rapid fire lyrics over a thrashing beat recall Cardiacs once again. No British band has ever sounded quite so Australian as they do on this track. The chorus is an alt rock delight and honestly could have gotten radio play. Brief and succinct, it uses up its every second very effectively) 4/5 9 - She's So Loose (we get some almost jazzy strummed chords on this one(?) The vocal performance is also much cleaner than on previous tracks, which is a welcome change for an album that's been rather straightforward so far. Like some others, this song alternates between a slower breakdown before returning to the fast pace of its verse-chorus structure. This one is probably the high point of the album for me) 4.5/5 10 - We're Not Supposed To (more strummed guitar as a sort of flamenco tribute. The voices are oddly pitched up and vaguely remind me of some 60s mod music (think debut era Bowie, or something like Herman's Hermits...) This utterly bizarre piece makes me think of a hotel in a tropical resort where some crazy shit is happening in everyone's view but the hotel staff try desperately to distract everyone from it, whatever it might be. Points for that hilarious visual) 4/5 11 - Time (an honest-to-God blues rocker on this otherwise very punk song? I really like how this album has such distinct halves. The second half is where this band's talents really get to shine, such an eclectic mix of sounds on this half and proof they could do more than punk thrashers, which is how this album is probably remembered) 4.5/5 12 - Sofa of My Lethargy (I'm not entirely sure how to gauge this one. It has the psychedelic feeling and appropriate lyrics, yet it also develops into a piano rock anthem 90 seconds in before simmering back down again. It continues as a largely instrumental jam from that point on, so this is their kitchen-sink song I suppose. It would actually work very well as a closer, though there's a song following it, and I do like the interplay between the organ and piano towards the end. An intriguing track) 4/5 13 - Time to Go (feather light and acoustic, this is the comedown song and the succinct outro this wild half of the album sorely needs. It ties up the general album well too. I'm impressed by the quality throughout this record, even on the less memorable songs) 3.5/5 OVERALL - 7.7/10

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

Wenz: Not the type of music I always listen to, but surprisingly I heard about “Alright” before listening to this album

🙂

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.

Surprisingly fun for a britpop album

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.

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

9/10 for songs 4/10 for album cover High 3/5 overall

.greggrtghuyg

Good rock. Gets better by each song.

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

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...

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.

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.

1 tema bueno nomas

Muy largo, no me llamo para nada. El unico tema que me gusto fue Alright que es el mas conocido.

not bad not great 3/5

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

"I Should Coco" is full of energetic, youthful, Britpop songs.

ładne

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.

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.

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

This was fine I guess. I was hoping for something a little heavier. I’d rather listen to The Black Album.

Like it 3/5

Favorite Track: Sofa (Of My Lethargy) Least Favorite Track: Lenny

La primera vez que escuché "alright" fue cuando entre a una hamburguesería con una amiga. Siempre que escucho esa canción, recuerdo ese momento.

had much fun listeniing to this one. great vibe

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 🤟

*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

It was a little much for me today, but if I was feeling more hyped, I could see myself enjoying it more.

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.

No conocia, bien. Me econtré con un hit

Very enjoyable. There's some surf, some "space rock", definitely some '90s britpop (duh), punk leanings and a little Ween thrown in to offset some Beatles. Fun album.

I like Supergrass, this was fun.

Other than Alright, there's not much there.

Not my in my go to britpop albums but pleasant enough.

2.7/5 Nothing too amazing but I did enjoy alot of the songs. Im sure with a few more listens I could get around it more but it's decent enough.

Ah, the mid to late 90’s… I was big into Britpop, trying to learn to play the guitar. But strangely never really got into Supergrass. Well, I prefer their later songs from the self titled album. I could feel myself getting drawn into this record, as I did with Parklife, or What’s the Story… Obviously the big hit Alright isn’t too bad, and there’s some good highlights, but I feel I have to give this a three and move on to the next. Standout track - Strange Ones

Very 90's punk. Didn't hate it. Entertaining and not too long of an album.

No me cambio la vida. Solo una cancion me gusto

really liked it m o dus cu gandul la Kuhnea

Great album, great energy and sound. I had heard alright before in movies but overall solid album

Pretty generic.

it's ok but nothing memorable in particular except she's so loose, i liked that song
