I Should Coco

The single was all right (see what I did there) but the rest was too bouncy for me, didn’t hold my attention.

Not their best work. It’s not bad, but it comes across as mostly bland and doesn’t leave much of an impression. “Alright” is a good track, but it doesn’t really sound like the rest of the album, and honestly, it feels more like a classic rock song dropped into the middle of it.

3.5! Like Devo, MCR, and The Fratellis’ 90s Brit pop punk cousin.

Alright is an ultimate good vibes track Clueless Otherwise decent Brit pop with a variety of sound throughout

One of the better Britpop albums, not amazing for me though personally. There’s some pretty solid songs on here, and I might need to listen to more albums, but this one’s pretty all right. Three stars.

No private session used for Spotify. Fun album had a couple of great songs. Probably not going to make in on heavy rotation, but should listen to again.

In eerste instantie klinkt het alsof deze plaat 15 jaar te laat is uitgebracht: het zit allemaal nogal in het punk- en skaspectrum. En dan ineens lijkt het weer bijna alsof je naar Supertramp luistert. In feite is het Britpop natuurlijk, en het hitje is nog leuk ook. Helaas zijn niet alle nummers even boeiend, gaandeweg zakt de aandacht weer weg en vliegen ze in al hun vergeetbaarheid weer verder het heelal in.

i really liked the last two songs on the album “sofa (of my lethargy” and “time to go”. just for those two songs i’ll keep the album in my library.

Solid, Alright and CBTF are fantastic, but they went on to make much better singles and albums later on

Yllättävänkin kiva britpop/altrock -levy. Yks hittibiisi selkeesti, ku tunnistin välistä. Ei moitittavaa, mut ei myöskään suuremmin herättäny tunteita. Meni taustalla oikein sujuvasti.

Playful, effervescent Britpop. Good, not great. Top tunes: “Alright,” “Caught by the Fuzz”

Final thoughts: I was skeptical after the first three songs; each felt very similar. but these guys were able to throw a couple breaking pitches to keep things interesting. ******************************************************************************* --I'd Like to Know...not a banger but I like the energy --Caught by the Fuzz...see above --Mansize Rooster...see above. again --Alright...hello, Clueless. a welcome change of pace. --Lose It...similar to the first three tracks but I enjoy this one a little more. a better groove, maybe? --Lenny...enjoy the bass/drum interplay --Strange Ones...some interesting movements --Sitting Up Straight...fun speed rock --She's so Loose...builds to a satisfying conclusion --We're Not Supposed To...something slightly more psychedelic? it's kind of cute --Time...real nice groove to this one. Coombes is in good voice. harmonica adds a nice flavor --Sofa (of My Lethargy)...not good enough to be seven minutes --Time to Go...lazy river floating

I was like "Oh yeah, I know that song!" Then the rest of the album happened and it was just okay.

Strong

Some nostalgic moments here and I haven't listened to this one in ages. The good tracks are good but lots of filler here.

2026.03.20

I feel like this is probably not bad, but I really just don't care about it that much. It feels like the same sort of stuff I heard from a bunch of other 90s bands, but they didn't do it as well as those other bands did. And it feels like it runs long, even at only 40 minutes. Just a very meh album to me. Favorites: Alright, Lenny, Time to Go

hey it was better than expected hey

Horror show album cover. Solid to above average Brit Pop musically. A pleasant listen but certainly not indispensable.

I enjoyed this way more than I expected to. When I saw this was Britpop I was unsure, as sometimes that genre really does not connect with me. However it really did on this one. I like the theme of exploring outsiders, and the songs feel like anthems for them. The album seems to get a little more experimental structure wise as it goes along, which would occasionally catch me off guard but I grew to like it. Just a lot of really fun songs, liked this.

Decent britpop. Tight instrumentals. Catchy. Good energy

Fave songs: mansize rooster and alright

eh

This was decent but nothing special, again I liked the back half a lot more. Front half was a bit generic but the last few tracks were nice and calm

2.6 2x

it's a fun album, but surprised to see it on this list

i like

Occasionally fun. Never earthshaking and kind of forgettable outside of learning where Alright came from and who sang it. How much Brit pop is on this list again?

I was a fan back in the day…the single still hits the rest is meh

Not bad, quite fun but not essential listening. Gaz Coombes has a great voice, great songwriting but just not for me

Ein nettes Rock-Album. "Alright" kenne ich aus dem Radio, der Rest ist auch gut hörbar. 3/5

Was torn between and 3 & 4 rating for this album. Some of it really rocked, some of it sounded like noise, some of it I itched to skip. Nice variety between the songs as well. I think I'll give it a 3 because I'm likely not going to come back to this one. (3)

Today I learned who did that "Alright" song I hear all the time in British stuff set in the 90's. As some have said the first four songs on here are absolute bangers. Is it the best Britpop album? No, we've already established that is Blur Parkline. It is a great representation of the genre and honestly a band that I would listen to again but maybe not add their records to my physical collection.

not particularly interesting

some interesting parts nearer to the end, but overall quite average

I found this to be above average throughout, but not really a “great” album. I enjoyed hearing the song from the Clueless soundtrack and overall enjoyed listening, but it was immediately forgettable outside of “Alright”.

High end 3. Enjoyed this pretty well but no clear standout track. Strange Ones probably my favorite after Alright

Banger start - energetic, punchy, hard-hitting. The first 4 songs are total anthems with sharp guitar tones, fast drums, banger choruses and super charismatic vocals. Unfortunately after track 8 or so the album gets incredibly inconsistent. They either don't stick to their strengths or deliver them without the crazy energy. It's a pretty good album but kind of a rough ride.

It was a pretty fun listen. No takeaways from me and no jams, though. It was enjoyable to have on, solid 3 stars.

Good

solid punky album

I should be more of a fan of this. My era, my basic genre, dug Alright. Not saying I didn't like it but it wasn't mind blowing. Above 3 but not yet 4. 3.5/5

Alright is a great song, it’s been on my playlist for ages. The rest? Pretty meh.

(4/7) "Alright" indeed

There was one song I liked. I believe there's a term for that, alas it escapes me.

I thought this was pretty good. It has a nice punk aesthetic to it with a nice hint of pop to it. Some of the songs do blend together or sound similar but I'll alow it. Alright is a good tune. 4

Some fine British rock stuff. The first couple of songs are significantly better than the rest, there's some cool punk influences on here it's just not all that special

It was alright, but not memorable.

Your crisp?

good lively sound

Découverte (hormis "Alright"). Très upbeat et consistant à travers l'album. Des thèmes récurrents et des bonnes musiques en général, s'écoute tres bien

Bon album dans l’ensemble ! Dynamique et fun à écouter. Marrant la musique « Time to Go » à la fin de l’album. Bonne expérience d’écoute.

That was a fun and cohesive record. It’s a pretty good debut that captures the raw, gritty sound of the 90s. I enjoyed how it progressed without ever losing steam, and it ended on a high note. The simplicity of the lyrics completes the picture perfectly. If anything, the album has fun with its sound and songwriting without trying to break new ground and it excels because of that. The standout tracks for me are "Lose It", "Strange Ones", and "Time to Go".

Oh great! More 90s British punk. The author of this list definitely has a type, too bad she has terrible teeth and can’t cook for shit.

6/10

Started off pretty generic (imo) but had some pleasant surprises along the way. Dig the first chord in "She's so Loose"

It’s not bad.

Just fine…

alright is already a staple in my warm weather playlists and i like sofa of my lethargy gave will byers but overall the general style isn’t for me

Prima album met erg leuke nummers hier en daar. Maar eigenlijk gewoon fine. We're not supposed to is wel een heel storend nummer.

Priem!

Beetje proto indie sleaze. Soms leuk. Soms silly. Soms irritant

Dit is gewoon alright. Behalve het nummer 'Alright', want die track is een toppertje.

Interesting to get Supergrass' debut album after already listening to In It For The Money. Whilst I Should Coco hasn't turned me into a believer, it certainly solidified for me that they sanded off their more unique edges after this debut. There's a hyperactive energy to this album which is kind of infectious, if not always lending itself to particularly interesting songs.

It was good

I don't think I've ever listened to a Supergrass album start-to-finish before. I recognize a few of these songs by title. I don't know... This mostly just isn't doing it for me. Two tracks I did quite enjoy: "Lenny" and "Time"

It's okay, but most of it isn't to my taste.

Not bad not great. I enjoyed about half of the songs and I say this a lot but definitely some good driving music

A classic one hit wonder album, it has one good recognizable song and a bunch of meh whatever tracks. The one famous track here is not good enough to carry the entire album. Acceptable but nothing special.

Took me a couple songs to warm up to this music. At first, it sounded too British, but ultimately it charmed me with its unique alt rock sounds that I found to be unique and dynamic in a way that captured my interest.

Watched there glasto set on the bbc and thought it was incredibly boring but the album itself, solidly good stuff, best stuff is the reprisal of stranger ones throughout.

Alright is great

Very heavy, intro music kinda feeling so far you know?

Tails off a bit towards the end but a solid album.

Supergrass was my first listen on this generator, but it was the next effort "In It for the Money". I remember thinking it was well made, but not tailored to my tastes at all. I think the same applies for this effort but with better material for singles. I was shocked when I heard Alright and could finally put a band name to the song. The quality of production is very nice, the musicianship isn't lacking here, but aside from a few solid tracks, I find the effort mostly forgettable. I'd have preferred a Best Of compilation, or a good live show, at least as far as must-hear-albums go. 3.2/5

Good but forgettable.

cool

Brittiläistä poppia melkoisen melodista

enkele bangers, enkele mehh

Never heard of this band or album and was presently surprised how much I enjoyed it. Smart writing and catchy licks.

Alright

One song clearly better than the rest. Not my favorite type of music but it’s listenable

solid 3.5 tbh

It's a pretty good album

Not my vibe

Couple bangers

Going into this, I thought I'd never heard Supergrass but knew what they would sound like, in part due to their name. However, when the album started, I was surprised by the sound. I was listening to an extremely kinetic indie rock band with fast guitars and energetic drums. Then Alright played and I realized I had heard thos song and band before but didn't realize it was them. This album is a fun listen and definitely through my assumptions out the window. Liked this a lot.

Jolly britpop. More please!

I should say so! Britpop at its finest and Alright is one of the iconic tunes of the genre.

I liked this more than expected, “Alright” was a good song I didn’t realize was a hit until I heard it. The rest was kind of just there, but enjoyable.

ENOUGH FUCKING UK POP ROCK

Some good tracks, but nothing special

Interesting that Spotify says this band is 1 of the most important bands of the 90s. Never heard of them. They were ok but not groundbreaking or anything.

Solid enough. Not much to write home about. I understand if you're British how this is a seminal album, but otherwise, fine poprock.

It's a very nice listen, actually. Very 90's. Solid songwriting and very nice instrumentation. I enjoy the range between the more rocky songs and the acoustic ones. An enjoyable listen. Not extraordinary though, I think so. A 3

music that plays when a slightly alt character gets introduced in a 90s rom com

Couple classics at the beginningin that I've heard and liked before but never knew what they were called.

a britpop classic

Let's try and unsee this album cover Of all the britpop this list has force fed me of late, this one I think I prefer best. Sofa (Of My Lethargy) is my pick from this one. I hear Beatles and Traffic influences in it.

Regular

This is better than I thought it would be, especially because I really don't like 'Alright' The faster, punkier songs are pretty good

It was okay. Britpop is really not my thing.

Felt very varied. It was a fun listen, there was some stuff I liked and some I didn’t, but at least it stayed interesting. Probably wouldn’t listen again though. Fav song: Alright - Also liked Sitting Up Straight and Time Least fav: We’re Not Supposed To

None of the others hit the way Alright did. Some of the songs were a bit too high energy. Favourite song: Alright Least: We're Not Supposed To

A down the middle 90s rock album.

pretty good, added multiple songs

Interesting

This is a sick album, lots of personality. I especially liked the first 4 tracks.

Rating: 7/10 It's some pretty good Britpop with a raw garage sound from this time. The first half is fast paced and fun, then the stretch of tracks 7-9 weren't my favorite. And then really slowed down in the last few tracks but I thought they were decent too I was having enough fun with it, maybe not something I would return to all that often. I'm sure a lot of us have heard 'Alright' which is a good song and really feels like a true influence on a style to come around the turn of the century with the post-Britpop indie sound. The album cover art is cursed

Genre? Punk? Punk-pop? Ska-ish? I think I would have liked this album and seeing the band live when I was in high school. It’s got a youthful sound and energy. I like the British flavor. Second half of album different sound than the first (liked 2nd half more) Not sure that’s listen to it today at this point in my musical “journey”. (Dislike: the cover)

Too wacky sometimes but i enjoyed alright and time

Many days I find these albums borderline intolerable and I question why I'm even doing this. This one was marginally better, so I guess that's a win.

The opening track was a little bit too much for me. The rest of the album was a great listen. I would add to my collection but I could also see it being slightly forgettable.

åh jeg ble glad da jeg så dette! har villet høre dette lenge // altså det går ikke an å ikke smile når man hører alright. som en som oppdaget musikk i 2013 var det utrolig spesielt å høre opprinnelsen til alle indie bandene jeg likte og liker. en gøy opplevelse.

Spirited romp through British rock, with echoes of The Kinks, Beatles, and Stones jumping out to me.

6.5/10 Energetic and surprisingly diverse. It was a good listen, but I didn't really emotionally connect to the songs. Highlights: Caught by the Fuzz Strange Ones

At times fast, at times fun, at times even really cool, but in the end somehow meaningless.

Didn’t think I’d know any of the songs off of this one. ‘Alright’ rocks and of course I’ve heard it all over the place. This album has a fun sound, that kind of goes all over the place, talk about a musical smorgasbord. I hear roots in the Rolling Stones maybe, the chipmunks, there's organs, I hear Bob Dylan, I hear Oasis, It feels like it could influence Jack White and the Arctic Monkeys. It seems like each song takes you in a completely new direction and honestly they pull it off wonderfully. It also reminds me of The La's in some ways. Overall a cool sound and fun album. Nothing is sticking with me completely but this is one I could see myself coming back to.

Better than Pulp or Blur but still brit pop and I just can't fully vibe with it. Have definitely heard "Alright" before. The second half of the album, minus "Sofa (Of My Lethargy)" was better than the first.

Meh. Yet another Britpop album where it's just ok. Nothing stood out either way.

I liked it a lot it had a lot of nice stuff but I was feeling like I wanted a bit more

Not my favourite

cool that song alright is on here! Nothing really memorable though

Very easy listening. It has a good balance of edgy/alt rock and indie/pop. At times they reminded me of No Doubt, other times the Beatles. I had never heard of Supergrass before, but some of these songs definitely rang a bell. A lot of these songs remind me of something I'd see in a coming-of-age TV show (randomly, I actually pictured Dan from Gossip Girl lol). Overall, I admittedly don't have a lot to say about the album. It's a pretty good album, easy to listen to, and enjoyable. I think I need to learn more about the album and the history to learn why it made it on the 1001 list. 3.5/5.

Irgendwie ziemlich cool. Klingt älter als es ist finde ich.

War cool, aber nichts Weltbewegendes.

čisti neki prosjek što se tiče glazbe. nit loše nit posebno dobro, nit smeta nit zabavlja.

Never heard of album or band. Intro is interesting. Pretty unique sound. Good background track. Great guitar solo in the back half. Caught by the fuzz is fine. Just an average rock song. Mansize rooster is a super fun song, followed by alright which is an absolute banger. Heard it before but even better in the midst of the album. Sour catchy chorus and great guitar. Lose it is pretty catchy as well. Not a ton of substance to these song but they’re catchy and the background music is good. I like strange ones a lot too. Great songwriting and music combo. Just a good song. Sitting up straight is generic. Not bad not good. Will never listen again. Similar with she’s so loose. Well written. Pretty catchy but not the bets of all time. Almost immediately skipped we’re not supposed to. That first 15 seconds is horrible on the ears. Goofy/bullshit song. Can appreciate the switch up in sound. Time couldn’t be any more different. I like this one. Really cool harmonica. Sofa is a good song too. Last half musical solo is really really good. With a really good fade into time to go which is so apt as a finishing song. This is how all albums should be put together. It’s not the best songs of all time but it tells a story. Worth the listen. 3.4 stars.

decent but a bit forgettable

I have generally been fairly anti-Britpop, with the exception of Oasis and a little bit of Blur. I came into this, accordingly, with great trepidation. I know "Alright" as one of those catchy, sort of annoying songs that seemed built for a shopping montage in a 90s teen movie. Not a great sign. Better than I would have thought. They can rock out a fair bit, but there wasn't any particular track that really made, like, nod my head. Solid B, B-.

A local band to my home city, Supergrass’s commercial success was a big deal locally. I don’t remember owning this album though so surprised I know lots of the tracks on it. Maybe they were all chart hits or a regular playlist in the student union bar. Either way… Fun to hear it again, and liked it a lot. A bit of a mental energy (smashy) but that’s part of the appeal and maybe what dates it to the mid 90’s? Cos I got this album on a Friday I could listen several times over the weekend. I would say I think the first half of the album is really strong but find the second half/third has less of an infectious energy. 3.5 13 tracks Favourite track #1? Others? Strange Ones, Lenny, Fuzz one

Not bad but I just found it a bit of a racket

Fine

Pretty good, no particular stand outs

Some bangers but the album didn't impressed me that much.

7.1

Another Brit rock band, this one from the mid 90’s. I actually really enjoyed the variety of this one and was fun to sing along and re-visit a couple of the hits. The album flowed nicely and was just the right length. Still not overly memorable, and certainly not higher than 3 stars.

I had a good time listening to this album. Really playfully, fun and powerful, which made the listening experience fun. However this is not my style of music

Not bad, not great. Not for me.

It was okay

Mixed bag with some fun selections and a few that fell flat. I enjoyed the overall sound much more than expected.

Hey it's that song from all the commercials! And also a bunch of stuff that sounds vaguely similar to it, none of which is bad, but none of which really moves me.

Would never have been exposed to this and it's pretty good! I liked the closing track

Classic catchy britpop, didn't really blow my mind

It was fun. I liked Time to go the best.

isk me mrzelo da poslusam bas ceo album tkd mid

Kind of reminds me of a more experimental/poppy version of the buzzcocks.

What's one more Brit Pop album among all the others in the list? Listened before? N Saved tracks? N Favorite tracks? Caught By the Fuzz, Alright, Sofa of My Lethargy ⭐⭐⭐ Liked it. Saved a couple tracks.

ой, кул ого, я навіть одну пісню знала нагадує мазер мазер якісь пісні ніби однакові трохи

First time hearing of these guys and they're not bad. I read "I should coco" is slang? for "I should hope so". I like that. The music is fine, could be 4/5 but for personally going 3.

Good for what it is but derivative pop rock in the post rock era has a pretty limited upside

Meh. Alright.

cool, not amazing

Thirty seconds in, I found myself wondering if an album had ever been bold enough to put its worst song first and then progressively improve until the final track. I couldn’t think of one like that. This one started meh but did vastly improve. I went from 2 to 3 to maybe 4 over the course of the album, and that’s no easy feat after starting with that first song.

Yay more mid-90s brit-pop. Always well done, never relatable.

This is generic 90s rock music. Slightly reminds me of [[The Beatles]].

Alright has always been one of my favorite songs, album was good

- i feel like a rebel kid listening to this, listening to alright with the windows down is SUCH an experience - du punk rock accessible et facile à écouter - cet album a définitivement influencé le indie rock world surtout avec ses chansons un peu plus soft - meilleure chanson: strange ones, time to go

I'd never heard of this album (or this band), though it turns out that I was previously familiar with "Alright" without knowing who had created it. This is three-chord, slightly punky alt-pop, well-conceived and well-executed. The songs are punchy, short, and fun (though I could do without the Chipmunks-style sped-up vocals on "We're Not Supposed To". Favorite track is probably "She's So Loose" with it's interesting chord choices. Overall, it's nothing that rocked my world, but there's nothing here to object to, and I'd have no problem listening to it again -the very definition of a three-star album.

Good album. Alright is a classic great track. Some others like I’d like to know, Mansize Rooster, and Strange Ones really grew on me with a couple of listens

This was old but new. I liked it. Apparently I already knew the song Alright but never knew the band. Going with a 3.5 stars.

It was ok

Interesting. When does this end?

not bad, along with a handful of songs that i already like

jako je to takovy britpop nu, somehow mi to zni celkem povedome, mozna uz jsem nektere ty pisnicky slysela v radiu nebo tak (ofc "alright" je znama, tu mam naposlouchanou z internetu) ale je to fun, je to takove diverzni, takove skoro teenage zaujala me mansize rooster, lose it, sitting up straight a taak:3

This had me Caught By the Fuzz

Copied from 'In it for the money' by Supergrass from 30 albums ago... I like Supergrass. I like this album. Is it a vitally important album of modern music despite its fun? Not sure how revolutionary it was. Still great mind. I didn't enjoy this as much as 'In it for the money' and because two Supergrass albums is too much, this one just gets a 3.

3*

pusiau perklausiau bet gerai bet ne super

Album #15: I Should Coco - Supergrass Genre (according to Wikipedia): Punk rock, Britpop, alternative rock, pop-punk Singles?: Caught by the Fuzz, Mansize Rooster, Lose It, Lenny, Alright Have you listened to this album or group before?: Only “Alright”. Thoughts?: So far, the album has witty lyrics! I love the wry humor in them! Honestly, the album isn’t wowing me so far. I don’t know why, maybe I’m not so much into it. Favorite songs: Mansize Rooster, Alright, Strange Ones*, We’re Not Supposed To, Time to Go As a writer, what can you use this album for when honing your craft?: I can’t think of anything specific, but montages of morning scenes would be best. File correlations: File #009: Force Devils

Fínt

Bara solid. Samt undir þremur, ekki yfir. Lítið ris fannst mér.

Caught me by surprise! Actually a pretty good listen!

Good ol' rock

Great 90s alternative album, it keeps getting better as the album progresses. Highlights: “Alright” and “Time”

It’s fun, but I think its significance may be lost on me as an American. Same goes for a lot of the Britpop albums I get.

Good energy and well-constructed songs.

7. fav so far, rock/britpop

Alright !!

The first track was slightly off putting but the album proceeded to get better. There was that one point where anyone unfamiliar with this band probably went “Oh, it’s THIS song!” I know I did. Anyway, alright album. Not enough for a 4, but not low enough for a 3. Alas, 3 stars it is.

Band is about as tight as you can possibly be, energy is good, but I still felt pretty "meh" about this. Alright is a good song but not stellar enough to make up for the "sameness" I felt through the album.

Fun. Maybe would've enjoyed more if I heard it in the 90s. Or maybe I would have hated it.

3.5 1. Bien 2. Cracra mais bien 3. Azy répétitif 4. The famous one 5. Same as 3 but better 6. Good 7. Banger 8. Bien punchy super 9. Tf is that title mais j'aime la proposition 10. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 IS THAT BLUR ?!?! Good 11. On s'ennuie (riff de neuil) 12. blur ?? Vrm bien 13. reallyyyy gorgeous Et bien début d'album un peu too much qui donne pas bonne impression et fin super bien équilibrée supplément pas mal de chansons à réécouter pcq la voix pêche parfois + pochette traumatisante

Yeah like definitly a good time

Took a bit to open up to the album, but in the end it was really enjoyable, 3,4/5

This album is the exact reason I am trying these albums. I would have never listened to this naturally. I’ll listen to some of the songs again. I wish I could give it 3.5 stars. 1/5 didn’t finish the album 2/5 didn’t keep the album 3/5 kept it and will listen when songs randomly show up on shuffle 4/5 kept it and will listen to it again front to back on my phone 5/5 buying the vinyl

Mycket stark trea ändå! Några lite störiga låtar som drar ner tyvärr, annars härlig platta

Var på väg på mot 4 några gånger men det får nog bli 3.

The album cover is some demented Cerberus nightmare. Guarding the gates of punk heaven. Boo! Gotcha. When Peter Tork left the Monkees in 1968, the band continued as a threesome. When Hanson was MMMbopping the globe, they were a threesome. These three can easily charm their way out of a paper bag. Songs bounce from bouncy to borderline serious, bop-bop-boppin' along. If Coco is short for coconut, you're nuts if you don't dig this group, and your head is full of unsweetened pulp.

Jaunty powerpop from the mid 90s made mildly interesting by the way it overtly places itself in the Kinks-ish, punkish, new-waveish English canon.

I feel like I really should have more about this band considering when they arrived and their contemporaries. Good solid brit rock. Favorite track: Alright

Love it

Feel alright

I liked this better than I thought I would (read about it often but I never gave it a full spin before, it seems). It's a surprisingly versatile and highly infectious debut. I came to think of labeling it a very ambitious garage rock record. Supergrass have the ferocious energy that made a lot of their predecessors landmarks of the British Music Scene (oftentimes, the Jam and Buzzcocks come to mind). But there is also a psychedelic side to things on the flipside: “Sofa of my Lethargy” is such a nice little meandering suite of swirling guitar and a beautifully fuzzy build-up that I even get Elephant 6 vibes. I Should Coco doesn’t waste time — the four musicians let you know their ambition right out of the gate with their mod- and punk-infused opening triplet “I’d Like to Know”, “Caught by the Fuzz” (what an apt title) and “Mansize Rooster.” What makes the record stand out for me, however, is Supergrass’ ability to write instantly memorable choruses, which they perfected in the mid-section of the record — “Strange Ones” and “Sitting Up Straight.” There, their influences come together seamlessly and complement each other the best; the blend just works perfectly. A minus point for the utterly obnoxious “We’re Not Supposed To” (is it supposed to be an interlude?) Oh man… and it's not even a hidden track or sth. Just placed smack in the middle of the second half.

Good fun album 3.5/5

“Alright” is pure 2010s music supervisor-core. A great tune, but it’s hard not to think of a Kia commercial when I hear it.

Some solid fun songs!

Real good bar music. Fun jam.

I also want to like Supergrass, but end up thinking of them as a second-rate version of Ash, which is quite unfair, but that's where me head goes They can certainly bang out a good tune which I'm happy to nod along to on the radio, but dont have any space for in my collection

So close to 4 stars, nearly everything is really fun and enjoyable to listen. But only Alright was unique enough for me to think its an essential song to have heard.

I guess it’s a good example of the genre, but early- to mid-90s pop punk stuff is not my jam.

this either, think it was fine one good song idk i cant remember 3/5

I've always gotten Supergrass and Superchunk confused. All I can ever remember is that I really like one of them. Turns out, Superchunk's the one I like. This isn't bad, it's just far too... Britpop for me.

Not bad, better than I was expecting.

I honestly thought that Alright song was from the early 2010s. Pretty fun listen

A lot faster and heavier than I expected. Its not death metal or anything like that, but it has a bit of a kick to it Its better than a 3 but not as good as a 4

I think I’d always had Supergrass as inferior in the British music scene, but actually impressed by the opener and made me take notice. And of course, the classic ‘Alright’ great energy and vibrancy throughout. Grabs you and takes you through the streets and experience of youth. Can hear the historic influences, but also feels like it’s sets up for bands like QOTSA and a lot of what came afterwords in indie/rock. Couple of quick, sharp track in the middle. Better than expected and a new view of Supergrass (3.5)

I recall enjoying a lot of Supergrass in college. My favorite song wasn't on this album - Pumpin On Your Stereo - but Alright is also a classic. Still fun occasionally as an adult to dip back into this one! 3⭐️

This was just a fun album to listen to.

Pretty good, could see it growing on me. A bit one note at times but appreciate the straightforward energy of it.

Not great

Don't get the billy corgan vibes i got from in it for the money. It's serviceable rock and roll, but for the number of times I've heard them gassed up I was expecting more.

Was so confused by the first half of this album. Couldn't get into any of it. The second half kind of blew me away. Surprising to me that all the singles are in the first half. I'd call this a great album if it weren't for that. Sofa of my lethargy is their Beatles song.

Some really fun jams on this record... others are just repetitive and whiny.

Fun album. Good songs. 7 out of 10. But rounding down. (Also: from Wikipedia: "selling over a million copies worldwide and 500,000 in the UK." Sounds like almost half their album sales were in the UK. This project is very biased towards such albums.)

I only new "Alright". The songs have variety and in general interesting, though a bit too Pop for me. 7/10

Sometimes fun Britpop, interesting to find out where the song Alright comes from. Saved a song: N RYM: N

Ah so nice to get back to some rock ‘n roll again and this one rocks! Once again a band I’ve heard of but never really listened to. There’s a lot of good energy on this one with some hyper drumming and loud guitars. The songs are good with some interesting chord progressions and vocal melodies, all in a pop rock framework. Not sure if this is essential listening right now but with repeated listens I can see this one being justified so. Definitely want to hear their other albums to see where they went after this.

Hat gut Druck, zieht schön, angenehm weirde Stimme. Hält das Niveau bis zum Schluss. Gutes Album! 7/10

One 5-star song and some filler brit pop

I thought this was great when it came out. It's OK.

I could write a few more paragraphs about my hate towards britpop, this album doesn‘t deserve it though, it‘s actually decent. Nevertheless it‘s nothing that I would actually return to

Good, chilled out, pleasant vibes, nothing standout.

WE ARE STRANGE IN OUR WORLDS

Since it's a rule for every album for some reason, we've got the weird track of We're Not Supposed To. Everything else is alright though.

Fun songs with lots of energy. Reminds me of The Jam or a punkier version of the Kinks. It really dips for me in the second half tho. They try to go for a spacier vibe but the songs aren’t really that memorable and it kills the pacing. It’s like they discovered weed half way through making this album. Not essential listening but still a good time. Favs: I’d Like To Know- Super high energy and the organ reminds me of Elvis Costello. Alright- One of the best pop songs of the 90s. Least Favs: We’re Not Supposed To- Discount Ween. Time- Boring.

Hmm. I think Alright is overrated tbh

3.5/5

I can't believe the only song I knew previously was Alright. I would have thought I'd venture deeper after hearing that one. Love the energy. Has a great Brit sound.

Okay I know it's a three, but it's a very high 3! Really wish they'd let us do half stars on this, but I get it. Too many divisions makes the rating system somewhat pointless, blah blah blah. There are some great tracks on here (Damn, "Caught by the Fuzz" is a banger, "She's so Loose" is real Pinegrove-y before Pinegrove could be Pinegrove-y) and just a few complete misses (what's happening with the album closer?), so I guess overall I really like but do not love this one. Points for surprising me with "Alright"; I figure we all know this song, but I could never have told you who wrote it *or* that it was a product of 1995. I know the phrase "ahead of their time" is such a meaningless cliche, but I do think it applies here for the most part.

This album was Alright, pun intended. It really is by far the best song on this album. That said the rest of the album was definitely listenable.

I REALLY enjoyed the first half of the album, but then it faded away by the back half. Probably because my expectations of the album changed as I heard the first few songs. I wish they kept the catchy up tempo vibe throughout.

Perfectly fine.

Reminded me of Ponte Pilas. A reckless late-teens British energy casting aside rules, drunk on the good times.

I wish this was a little shorter, but this was a fun ride.

Too punky for me but solid

Punky

In late 1994, so the story goes, Supergrass were introduced to Sir Cliff Richard as "a young group aged just 18 who just released their debut single". To which Sir Cliff replied he started at age 17. In a magazine a year later, Gaz Coombes of Supergrass recalled his response: “Yeah, but I bet it wasn’t about snorting coke.” Perhaps apocryphal but it's a story about quick wit, a finger up against the establishment, and utter confidence. And that pretty much sums up this album. Fun times.

J’étais assez sceptique au départ, mais certaines chansons m’ont beaucoup plu!

Love the band but think this album is just alright. Personally think road to Rouen is much better

Supergrass’s I Should Coco comes barreling out of the gate with a frenzied, youthful swagger, the trio clearly enamored with glam rock’s strut and sneer, but the album’s blown-out, everything-in-the-red production keeps it from ever fully shining. There’s a raw, shout-along exhilaration in tracks like “Mansize Rooster” and the sugar-rush anthem “Alright,” which captures the band’s wide-eyed, hyperactive charm so perfectly that it practically advertises itself. But the lo-fi muddiness often mashes their bright hooks into a noisy smudge, and when they stretch into cheeky pastiche—like the throwback weirdness of “We’re Not Supposed To”—it starts to feel more like affectation than attitude. Still, the record winds down nicely with the strummy, mellow “Time to Go,” hinting at a band that could sharpen its sound and still keep its pulse racing.

Not for me!

Son com uns Blur accelerats,ni tan mal,un hit comercial entremig i diversió. Lo dit...ni tan mal. 6'5.

Hmm. This is tricky. On the one hand, the shredding rock on here is great, while the mellow tracks are more forgettable and blend together. Don't think I'll listen to it again.

Hey, this album. YouTube Music recently put on a song from this which I remember liking. This is 90s alternative, if I'm not mistaken. I'm curious to rediscover the one song from this that I liked, so I may as well just hop into it. Yeah, not bad. There's a surprising spread of stylistic influences on this album, and the echoey guitars and distinctly Britpop vocals are both pretty good. I'm not too crazy for this style of music and I think the album gets weaker as it enters the second half, but this was a good time overall. "I'd Like to Know" is a solid opener. The drum explosion at the beginning of the song is attention-grabbing and the guitars have a nice bit of weight to them. Decent vocals, too. "Alright" is the song I've heard before. I never would have guessed that it hails from an album with a prominent punk influence. Still, it's a good tune. The piano guides the song along nicely, and the punchy vocal melody makes for a gratifying listen. "Lenny" has a pretty good guitar loop. "Time to Go" is a nice closer. It has some more of that nice guitarwork, and the addition of an acoustic guitar goes a long way in creating a nice, layabout sound. I'm checking the book. The band were pretty young when this was released. Nothing else is in there aside from a history lesson. Wikipedia reveals that this album released at the height of Britpop, was influential within the genre and charted pretty well in the singles and album department. This doesn't appear to have much in the way of an enduring legacy for this album and I'm beginning to grow weary of the reverence this list has for Britpop, though I can let this one slide. It's pretty decent, and I'm beginning to hit a deficit of albums that I can replace the weaker cuts with. I cosign this inclusion.

Don't have a lot of thoughts on this one. Pretty good, wouldn't hate listening again but not particularly tempted to replay immediately.

Decent guitar band. Didn’t change my life

more britpop. alright is a great song

Pretty good stuff never listened before. Will probably go back

"Time" is the standout track. “Alright” is just that.

Started to all sound the same towards the end.

Oi listened to thees punky album on a chewsday innit

to angry for my liking, but a few good songs

Solid Brit-pop album. Solid bunch of rock songs, nothing exceptional here aside from one track “Alright” which is a wonderful pop tune! 7/10 Favorite tracks-“Alright” “Mansize Rooster” “Strange Ones”

3/5

3.5 like it

This album was a mixed bag for me. Some good stuff, some bad stuff. I can appreciate that it definitely wasn’t a one note album. There’s a lot of variation between the songs that make them distinct, which is something that a lot of these rock albums lack. Though, I personally didn’t enjoy all of it. Alright is still a fantastic song and I’ll enjoy that on any listen.

I expected to hate it, I've always found britpop to be overrated but this started like a train. And the alright happened and that song is much more ploddy than I remembered. From there it seemed to promise excitement a lot but never quite delivered.

3.5

Supergrass is always a solid B+ for me, but somehow never higher.

Beach babies and grunge. Second side much better

B I'd Like To Know 3 Caught By The Fuzz 5 Mansize Rooster 3 Alright 4 Lose It 3 Lenny 3 Strange Ones 4 Sitting Up Straight 3 She's So Loose 4 We're Not Supposed To 4 Time 3 Sofa (Of My Lethargy) 3 Time To Go 4 It’s a fun album, but I wish Wait for the Sun was in it instead of being bonus content because it’s the best song.

Pretty British

I knew alright from this album but nothing else. Some songs are jams and then the very next one will be mediocre. Overall, I dig it. 3.5

Never been a huge fan of the most well-known song on this album "Alright". The rest of the album is passable.

Not much to say except I definitely recognized Alright.

Some really fun different punk songs and then some that were not so spectacular. Pretty much right down the middle 3

I enjoyed this, but it didn’t blow my mind.

Probably quite influential on all the garage rock bands of the noughties but I didn't find it all that exciting.

Enjoyable listening. 3.5⭐

Not my style. Probably and excellent representation of the genre but there are better. Didn’t finish all songs.

meio punk top

I think it's funny how Alright, a nostalgic banger of a track that's only really known for its use in Clueless and other commercials in America, comes to me at a time when I'm depressed out of my mind. But with that fact notwithstanding, Supergrass' debut is well worth the time. There's some weird tracks with high pitched Cockneys running wild. It sort of takes away from those songs, but most of the other songs aim to kick ass. They do it well too. It's English punk with the alternative/Britpop flavoring. Also I learned that Spielberg saw the video for Alright and wanted to make a Monkees type TV show out of the band, true story (7/10, 3/5 on this scale)

Standouts Time Sofa of My Lethargy

Ok

Better than I expected from supergrass/a post punk album in general. 3/5

Everytime Len Houmous met Gaz Coombes he always called him Damon Alburn. Gaz hated it. 2.5 4/13 Alright

Nothing on here that cought my ear. It was ok but not special.

Day 45 Listened to this a lot as a teenager in the 90s, musically or lyrically it’s not reinventing the wheel but it’s still pretty fun 6/10 Highlights I’d Like to Know Lose it

Starts as pretty typical 90s British grunge/punk but gets pretty deep and melodic near the end. Would listen again.

Some great tracks here. Love the sound. I enjoyed this one

bra det

Mit nervigen Punk Liedern gestartet und zum Ende hin deutlich entspanner geworden. Fand das Ende super, aber der Start versaut die Bewertung

90s Britpop Indie Musik, verrückt. Ist okay. Das eine Lied kannte man

Look. I am not completely against Britpop as a genre. However, going into this album thinking it was British punk put it at a serious disadvantage in terms of my initial perception first listen. Not to sound like a passe baby boomer, but it felt quite teenybopper. Reminded me of the Beatles/Monkees. Actually, my favourite parts were when it felt more like the Stones. Like most Britpop at the time, I think this album looks to encapsulate the 'voice of the youth'. I was going to argue that Supergrass did a pretty good job of this because they were teenagers at the time, but this time I actually researched before I opened my big mouth. And guess what! I was wrong. Only frontman Gaz Coombs was an adolescent when the album was recorded, the others in their early to mid 20s. But who cares really, I mean, the relation between maturity and age is not statistically significant, and maturity isn’t an all-or-nothing kind of thing. I know people in their middle age with the maturity of a child who cannot take accountability for spilling a glass of milk, and people my age with almost too much emotional intelligence. I Should Coco contains songs that celebrate being an independent, free young person, as well as songs designed to please their mums. Supergrass quite comfortably push and pull between trying to separate themselves from the dominant sound and finding comfort in its normality. There are times they get too mawkish for my tastes, and there are times they kick ass with confident command. If I were to place them under the larger umbrella of Britpop, the band did well to capture the ebullience of the cheerful years of youth, but, compared to Blur or Pulp, did little to really make a mark in the area of socio-cultural reflection.

it’s time to go to the place where the strange ones go just not really my typa music

Had a couple songs a knew and liked but probably won’t listen again

That song Alright is from this album! They are a little too *$-#(_!@)@)(✓{€×¢ sounding for me but i appreciate them! i will keep in mind for next time i want a rock bop thing

Good, very good listening, but not Whoa!

Terrible album cover, mildly enjoyable alternative brit pop/rock album that seemed to go completely unnoticed in the US. I was also surprised that I actually knew a song from this album, "Alright," which I believe has been used in either commercials or movies (or maybe both) giving the feel and spirit of a teen anthem of sorts. Not bad, but nothing more than a 3.25/5.

Raucous, frenetic, energetic, upbeat, yet melodic brit-pop. Much better than anything Oasis or their copycats have ever done.

The way this started I thought it was from the late 70's early 80's. Very punk. After that it settled down a bit, not a bad listen to be fair, got to be worth a 3.

It's ok, not their best. Safe Britpop. I'm not sure why it's on the list. But I still like it apart from the song which sounds like a kiddies TV theme.

I only really knew alright and I think that's the main one I will keep listening to. But fun to hear it in the context of their oeuvre. Peppy and british.

I think this one could definitely grow on me, but for now it lands on a 3.5. Should've listened to the remastered version bcs the original is a bit Wall-of-sound imo...

This was alright. I didn’t listen to the whole thing.

Surprisingly enjoyable punky brit-rock.

At first I was like oh great more 80's brit pop rock, but they had quite a few different sounds going for them on top of that, decent listen but I won't revisit it

Never my favourite britpop band, and I don't think this has aged well. Couple of bangers but a lot of forgettable tracks

Better than Coldplay
