blande alltid supergrass og supertramp
Definitely need to give this a few listens. I had not listened to the album before, obv I know the singles. It's got a lot of energy.
Great album and Alright is NOT even the best track on it
4.5
I liked that. 4.5
Very much enjoy this album.
I liked a lot of the songs but don't really know how I feel about them altogether as an album.
Pop britànic efervescent, i mooolt noventer. 'Alright' és dels millors temes que pots escoltar si busques una guspira de felicitat instantànea. Però hi ha molt més: Caught by the Fuzz', 'Lose It', 'Time'... És un disc que viu per sobre dels seus emblemàtics singles. Impossible no sentir-se bé a l'escoltar-lo
I had no idea this band was this good. So glad to get past their one hit & give the other songs from this album a try. I have a feeling the more I listen to this album, the more it'll become a favorite. Wow. Good stuff.
Alright, really good one!
me re gustó 8 / 10
Great 90’s Brit pop album. A very underrated band in my opinion.
Pretty good band, "Alright" being a somewhat familiar hit. 7/10.
Fucking love this album! Mansize Rooster to Alright to Lose It is a great transition both musically and lyrically. This album solidly rocks with a sense of urgency, fun, and seriousness that is hard to pull off.
Buen album, noventoso escuchable
Excellent debut album, three catchy as hell singles and every track is a great listen.
3.5/5. I feel like this album is somewhat inconsistent. Some songs I really enjoy, and then others I have no interest in listening to. "Alright" is by far the most well-known song on this album, for good reason.
Good music, good vibes
There's a lot of this that sounds like Jack White.
Quite the rumpus. Mansize Rooster is also quite the name.
Fun, felt like growing up in London.
I liked this album. Don’t have much else to say.
Loved it. A fun energetic jam
pretty fuckin' catchy but it's really for kids
Alright is a classic, Ends really strongly with Time and Sofa of My Lethargy Lots of variety, was really impressed with the multi dimensional sounds. Didn’t expect the acoustic tracks to be so good
A lot of fun. A real find for doing this project.
Much, much better than I anticipated. They are more than Alright. Well, one track more - Man-size Rooster is cracking, and I didn't mind I'd Like To Know. Album drops off a bit mid-way through, but the majority of it is a real ride. Indie pop at its finest.
The first 8 tracks are bangers, unfortunately I didn't enjoy the subsequent songs as much. Still a very good album overall.
Enjoyed it, easily my favourite so far
I'd like to know - A Caught by the fuzz - B mansize rooster - C alright - C lose it - D lenny - F the strange ones - C+ sitting up straight - B shes so loose - D were not supposed to - F sofa - C- Time to go - C
Very much enjoyed this album though was still not 100% my taste
Another one I loved at the time but hadn't heard in ages. What a great album full of bangers, thrilled to have seen them play most of this in a fairly-empty Mercury Lounge back at CMJ in 1995 (and gigged with them when they were The Jennifers even earlier). Top notch, and they made some other good albums but I don't think they were quite this exciting again
I liked this band when they first appeared, bought their initial singles and 2nd album. Great fun, energy and sense of joy with their recycled nostalgia. Good talents, enjoyable and accomplished debut.
This was fun and exuberant with a kind of timeless, youthful British pop sound. I didn't recognize the band name, but I definitely was familiar with "Alright" which has always been a favorite song. So happy to hear more of them!
A fun pop-punk, summertime vibe, like it should be coming out a transistor radio tuned to an AM station in the basket of your banana seat bike with coaster brakes.
The love child of punk and glam , fully impish and a touch zany this is quite good fun. Way better than Arctic Monkeys, todays closest comp. Trying to recall if better than Superchunk a band Of same era. “Sofa of my Lethargy” is best cut and a great song. “Alright” and “She’s So Loose” and “Time” and “Time to Go” are also strong.
Not quite a classic. A lot of fun
Didn't think I knew any of their songs 'til Alright came on. I always thought that songs was older, has a kinks-y feel to it. Anyhow, great listen.
I need to listen to more of them.
3/5 22/07/22
Much more well crafted than I remember.
Check
My favorite Supergrass album I think. The whole Standard English Indie Rock Vocal Deliver Protocol is a little limiting, but this is the kind of music it fits best. Just fun and fast.
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
Alright is great, the rest are solid but unspectacular. Not sure this is a great album, good but not great.
Caught By The Fuzz is great. Overall I think I preferred the other album, In It For The Money, but this was good too if you ignore a couple of misses.
Idk lads, tough to pin down
Decent fun record. I loved the energy but I was definitely ready for something else by the end.
Not my kind of music at all. However there were some very fun and clever songs and the album was pretty palatable. I’m also a sucker for a good last song and this album provided that.
Always thought that this band were the natural heirs to the Rolling Stones. A couple of eye catching songs (caught by the fuzz, mansize rooster) and the ever popular alright. This album tails off alarmingly though towards the end and isnt highly recommended for that reason alone
3,5/5
Really liked this album. Good tunes.
Teenaged me would’ve looooooved this!
Depois de um começo barulhento e simplório, o disco evolui para algumas melodias interessantes.
Mhh I dont think I was paying attention when listening to it, will have to spin it again.
Favourite Track(s):
1 standout song and the rest was fine.
I couldn't quite grasp what the theme of the music was as I was listening, which was entertaining in some sense. The album felt like a compilation of musically creative songs with some fabulous instrumentation. Even with that though, I couldn't quite connect with this album. Something was missing for my taste. Favorite Tracks: Caught by the Fuzz Alright
Yay more mid-90s brit-pop. Typically well done, very intermittently relatable.
While Supergrass' Spotify bio describes them as "one of the defining British bands of the 1990s," I feel like the UK produces a band like this once or twice a decade. Maybe the Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, the Kooks, the Fratellis, etc. are following the trail blazed by Supergrass? "I'd Like to Know" and "Lose It" are my favorites, and this album is fun in general. But I had to listen to it twice because the first time it just came and went with little notice. 3.5 stars.
I really enjoyed a few of the tracks on this one, and was indifferent to the rest.
This is #day757 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and… here's to one of those long-forgotten alternative rock gems from the '90s I haven't really been aware of. Pretty good record, bursting with youth and energy. Just what you need if you feel like rocking out on a Friday afternoon. This is a 3 out of 5. Looking forward to #day758.
I’d heard alright before but never knew the band/song title. This would’ve gone hard with me when I was in like 6th grade and obsessed with guitar hero! Still pretty good buzzcocks worship
A solid albeit forgettable album. My worldview has been changed by Alright being much younger than I thought it was. Rating: 3
I appreciated the energy on this for the most part. I will say that not much of it, aside from the big song, was memorable.
Millenial britpop.
This album was very up and down for me. I think I overall liked it better than Oasis’ Morning Glory, which I know is somewhat blasphemous, and that was the comparison I made in my head as I listened. The highs on this album were high: Alright, We’re Not Supposed To), and the lows were low for me. Overall, not my favorite music genre. I’ll give it 3 stars though
Totally fine. Couple of legendary Gen x anthems in here, but also some misguided stuff. Probably won't revisit. Not because it's bad but because there is so much other good stuff out there.
Mick jagger singing and attitude with a pop punk bend for me. Nice diverse tracks. The lyrics aren’t quit enough for me, but the vibe is good. Points for that teen movie anthem “alright”. That’s a banger.
fine
A fast, energetic debut that leans on punk momentum but never abandons pop architecture. Even when they get loose, the internal structure keeps everything driving forward. It’s fun, confident, and clearly formative for the band, but not something I’d consider essential beyond its historical moment. Enjoyable, not a keeper. My Rating: 3/5
Amusing
Pretty decent album. Some good stuff on there but not super great. Some catchy and some boring, nothing really got me too excited. Just not an album for me.
have definitely heard worse brit pop/punk on this project. solid 3
They're kind of like a louder, faster, goofier Shins.
couple of bangers. I can't believe this album came out in 1995 . sounds like a late 2000s indie album at times
not bad
31. avgust 2026. 13.22h am i depressed kao zasto sam unmoved sa par zadnjih albuma engleski alt rok clap if you care best: alright, sofa (of my lethargy)
Сара 2,5 Марко 3,5
Ok
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.
I wasn't that intrigued until I hit Alright and I realized I've heard and loved that song many times before. I then cranked the volume way up and listened to the album the way it was supposed to be listened to. Time to go was a great closer for the album
Yeah it was alright
3.5 stars. I approached this with trepidation. I hadn’t heard them before (or so I thought. I see you “Alright”). But I really liked this. Fun, jaunty, loud, but still melodic. Good times.
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
Inicia bien, se vuelve MUY molesto en la mitad y remonta de manera muy cabrona al final con la diversidad de sonido que tiene
Really fun. Some good tracks - nothing exceptional. They know how to make catchy tunes though, and are above some of the other britpop albums on the list so far for certain.
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.
Eh
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
