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

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

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 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.

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

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

decent pop punk record

Not my thing. A couple of listenable songs. I don't get why some of these albums are considered to be "must listen"...

Pas mal plus aimé la fin que le début, qui lui sonnait plutôt générique

3.2 straight britpop w some catchy stuff but overall kinda weak songwriting

Eh... It is okay. It sounds good, but it also doesn't really sound all that special. No idea why Alright is such a big hit, that one was one of my least favorite. High 3.

It was alright

Meh 2.7

This is my first time listening to this album in full. Before I only knew "Alright". This is a pretty average britpop album. It's full of energy and has a bit of a charm to it. I really liked how "Strange Ones" relates back to "I'd Like to Know" both of which are highlights for me. Moments like this and the aforementioned "Alright" are really great but for the most part it doesn't beat what other britpop bands were doing at the time. I personally prefer Supergrass' 2005 album Road to Rouen. I'd recommend it if you're interested. Favorite track: Alright

The only song I was familiar with off this, was Alright, which feels like an anthem of the 90s. I remember the iconic music video well. Caught By The Fuzz is another stand out track, the rest was alright but nothing that really caught my attention.

I'd only heard "Alright", but there's some other fun stuff on here

really fun. they sounded edgy but it was also very rhythmic. I don't think I will buy the album but I will turn it up when I hear them on streaming. 6.4

It's a pleasing, natural variance that doesn't reek of showiness.

Pretty fun! Bias for that song from Clueless, but it's definitely a fun kind of summer album. Movie music.

overproduced, but catchy tunes, but also just nothing really standoutish?

A decent British pop/rock album. I recognized “Alright” from some ads in the past. Nothing else too memorable. 3/5 would passively listen to.

They are like the upbeat, good-natured younger brother of the indie / British scene—catchy and fun, but without the cool of the big boys. Weak 3!

Alright is a great song but the rest of the album doesn’t rise to the same level.

Bastante interesante, precursor de muchas cosas de los 00. 3.5

Ok, this was fun. I felt like I was 16 again learning to skateboard.

conoscevo già alright album carino, la musica ti gasa, genere che potrebbe piacere a papà

great but not very my cup of tea at the moment, I already new one song in it so it was nice to discover the others

It's alright

Pas foufou

Felt like a decent album to listen to at a rock pub or in similar settings, but otherwise found it mostly a bit annoying. More speed and tempo over finesse and catchy riffs in my opinion. Just didn't hook me somehow. Don't think I was a big fan of the singing to be honest, think that dragged it down a bit. 'Alright' stands above the rest of the songs for sure, quite catchy'! 'We're Not Supposed To' sits below the rest for sure, both because of the smurf voice, and juvenile lyrics.

Alright is pretty good, but the rest of the album is a bit disappointing compared to this track, though not completely boring.

Everyone should Coco

Ich würde mir wünschen ich könnte es höher bewerten. Komplex, vielschichtig, abwechslungsreich. Wahrscheinlich zu anspruchsvoll für mich 🙂‍↕️

Pretty good just not a massive britpop fan

Seminal mid 90s stuff but hasnt really improved with age.

Proper punky debut album 💪

Pretty cool Favourite song: Mansize Rooster

Cool dirt bag teenage band in some dads garage kinda vibe but loses its magic halfway through

Very interesting. The tempo of the songs is similar, but are short, energetic songs. Good for running, actually. And it has Alright, a fucking banger.

I had no context for this album prior to hearing it today, with the exception of hearing Alright on various commercials and not knowing who wrote the song. Overall, I was caught right from the get-go with the surprisingly punk I’d Like to Know. What I thought was interesting was the long the album players, the more Beatles the album became with a little Kinks mixed in, and by the time Sofa kicks in I excepted Paul to chime in somewhere in the song (which was a great song). Key song, aside from the aforementioned, was She’s so Loose and the very Bowiesque Strange Ones. If there was ever a band that ate, mesticated and digested English rock culture to grow into something new, it is Supergrass.

Random thoughts: * I definitely "heard of" Supergrass before but was pretty sure I've never heard their music before and then "Alright" came on I instantly knew I'd heard this song many times before. * "Alright" has a very timeless feel due to the use of the jaunty piano backing. I wouldn't have picked that as a song from the 1990s because I was expecting more grunge than Britpop. * Supergrass is in that Blur/Oasis 90s Britpop scene solidly. Seems like they were a bit more aggressive/punky than their counterparts on most songs beyond "Alright" * I never really listened to Supergrass in the 90s but I was basically out on the Britpop scene so not really surprising. They seemed a bit more fun and upbeat than Oasis. Too bad I didn't get into this in the 90s.

Mediocre mid 90s

Never heard of these guys. Good music.

Pretty high energy overall. I could see myself enjoying some track occasionally but a whole album at once was a bit much.

pretty good. i kind of hate the vocals but the songs are pretty catchy 6/10 Favourite: Alright Least Favourite: We're Not Supposed To

Vibes: Rebellious and very energetic Favorite: Alright, She's so Loose Least Favorite: We're Not Supposed To Rating: 7.6/10 Would Listen Again: Yes

Lots of songs I didn’t know were from this. Also it’s nice to hear a bassists cutting through

I'd Like to Know 3.5 Caught by the Fuzz 3.3 Mansize Rooster 3.4 Alright 3.5 Lose It 3.6 Lenny 3.7 Strange Ones 3.7 Sitting Up Straight 3.4 She's So Loose 3.4 We're Not Supposed To 3 Time 3.3 Sofa (of My Lethargy) 3.4 Time to Go 3.3 Score: 3.423076923

Good album, nice cleaning mix

Pretty good

Oh man, the ‘90s. I loved this record back then. Hold up well.

Pretty great

Good bass lines. Can see how this influenced a few artists, maybe the strokes or even the shins?

I'd heard Alright before. The whole album was fun.

didn't know they did "alright!" this was fun

couple good ones on there

Ok rock album

I dig this a lot. Some of it was a bit derivative and the subject matter juvenile, but it's a good time, and I'd listen again.

I hadn’t heard of this band before, but recognized “Alright” when it came on. Really solid British pop/rock album to play throughout the weekend. The album cover kind of reminds me of the old Western Hills O’Charley’s mural… IYKYK. Favorite tracks: - I’d Like To Know - Alright - Strange Ones

really good debut album, and supergrass get even better after this 3.5

Está bien

I’d like to know is good, like how it ends. She’s so loose is fine, sofa is great minus the very beginning which is annoying. Time to go is a solid way to wrap up the album. The overall sound of the album is alright, and some of the tracks are well put together

A group I'd never heard of before, and an album that's fine. "Mansize Rooster" and "Alright" are two pretty nice bops. Coincidentally, I had a Nirvana album yesterday. Though roughly from the same era, these guys are pretty much the opposite of that.

Average 90s British alt rock. Fun listen to, but their were better albums in this style at the time. Not sure why this era is called pop. - mitona

Didn’t know Supergrass apart from their big hit which did have a real Brit pop feel. Other tracks were a bit more post punk which I quite liked. Worth a listen

I’ve never heard of this band, but I’ve heard “Alright” in plenty of tv/movie scenes. I listened to this one twice and still don’t know how I feel about it. For the most part, I enjoyed this but don’t see myself revisiting the album or any of their others.

its okay

Første del av albumet ble litt masete for meg. Siste del ga en litt Beatles vibe. Sterk 3’er.

Not for me. Wouldn't buy.

Surprisingly palatable, punk is usually not my favorite, but there was some good stuff in here. I like the more alternative rock tracks on here but even the punk stuff was not bad.

This is one of those bands that that every song is a winner but when I get the car right combination, it’s gold. Don’t love this full album, but there’s definitely some songs that I’ve put on from time to time strange ones being one of them. I’ve always loved that song put it on many many mixtapes I like the abrupt stops in it and just in general reminds me of a theme song for you coming to Sandy movie or some kind of adventure flick overall this band has always been fun to put on. Can I have die happy not listening to Supergrass sure but I did enjoy Seeing this pop-up on the list out of all the super bands (super chunk, superdrag, etc) supergrass is 2nd favorite, ha. Some cool guitar tones and fun audio clips throughout this album. Hard to rate but feel good with a solid 3.

Creative and spastic I didn’t mind it

Great energy. Cool guitar tones. Catchy enough to be fun to listen to but punchy and aggressive enough to not lose its punk edge. Ohhh these are the guys Travie McCoy interpolated... I understand why, Alright is a good song. I can't tell if this is ahead of its time, a throwback, or exactly where it should be in the timeline. Probably a mix of all 3. Strange Ones is a lowlight, but still not terrible. "Every f****r needs a home" 🤔 Album falls off a bit once it gets softer, which is a bummer since it starts out so good. It also starts to incorporate some weird, high pitch, borderline South Park-y sounding background voices and spoken bits, which are just goofy and don't enhance the experience in any way. Sofa of my Lethargy picks it back up a bit in both interest and volume... And then lingers around for 2-3 minutes longer than it really needed to. Close out song is kind of cheesy.

Decent. Didn't hate it. 3/5 #105

album full of energy, quite cheering to listen. The 90's in all their glory

Pure 90s pop. Infectious.

שירים שאהבתי: caught by the fuzz, Alright, she's so loose, Sitting up straight, Lenny, Sofa of my lethargy. אלבום כיף עם אנרגיה טובה אבל אני לא יודע אם אני אחזור אליו בזמן הקרוב. יש כמה שירים טובים אבל חלק נכבד מהם נשמע אותו דבר אם לא מקשיבים לאלבום בצומת לב מלאה.

Punkier than I'd expected.

Simple but very fun. The beginning was great, but later on, this album lost a lot of its energy. Still, there's no song I dislike here. They're all pretty good, but I feel like only a couple stand out. 7/10

Easy listen. Not bad

Well looks like another crappy album after all. Let’s see. Half way through and I wouldn’t call it crappy at all. More mid 90s British alternative reminds me a lot of pulp. Couple of catchy things here nothing I’d ever come back to. Unless something blows me away in the back end of the record. Nope. Nothing blew me away.

90s britrock, emblematic of the time it came from.

Alright is the star of the album but there are a lot of enjoyable tunes as well. Supergrass brings a fun energy.

it's "Alright"

Loud and angsty. I liked strange ones, 'alright' is very famous (we are strange, we are blah, weeeere alllll right), shes so loose , second half of the ablum is more my speed, gets more indie than grunge-ish

Despite this being another British band on this list, I actually didn’t hate this one. It does have British comedy theme vibes (like this gives me vibes of Peep Show or the Inbetweeners). I like that though, the opening song was solid and so was the rest of the album!

I love Britpop, but this record never quite connected for me in the ‘90s like Blur and Pulp and Oasis and others…and still didn’t this time. Good, but not great.

3/5 for alright song alone

It's mostly fine assortment of songs but not practically memorable either 3*

Some good ones on here.

Not amazing, but good fun. I have heard of the band but none of these songs sounded at all familiar. 𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘺 𝘮𝘶𝘮 𝘚𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦

A veces resulta interesante escuchar álbumes de las típicas bandas "one hit wonder". El debut de Supergrass resulta fresco y entretenido, pero poco memorable. Además de la famosísima Alright, destacaría Mansize Rooster.

i associate this album with my dad so heavily lol

This was a fun album. It wasn't really on my radar in 95. Too much Brit pop/rock at that time and I probably lumped this in with the rest which was pretty mediocre IMO. In retrospect, Supergrass dominated their peers and I wish I had given it more attention back then. This has Buzzcocks stamped all over it and I am down with that. There are a couple of whatever tracks on here, but overall this is solid. I appreciate the faster pacing of some tracks. I will spin this one again.

This one had some fun moments. It’s middle of the road for my personal taste but I enjoyed it for what it is

Alright is memorable. Not much else.

Rigtig solid energi på de fleste af de her numre, det var ret fed!

very british

Fun album by teens, for teens

6/10 its from England and it sounds like it. 6-15-2025

Witty lyrics, but the music sometimes fails to sell the story. Strong 3*

Back to back mid rock. Stfu. 3/5

id like to know- 6 caught by the fuzz- 5 mansize rooster- 5 alright- 5 lose it- 5 lenny- 5 strange ones- 6 sitting up straight- 5 shes so loose- 5 we're not supposed to- 5 time- 5 sofa- 5 or 6 time to go- 6

Good angsty album

This one gives punk vibes, I’m not super into most of it, though I do think it got better as it went on, I really disliked the first three songs but I really enjoyed “Alright” and “She’s So Loose”. I do think much of the record was kind of boring, its whole vibe is definitely not my main interest in music so that makes sense, but it had some pretty strong songs especially near the end.

90-talls stressa pritpoprock. Holder seg greit.

Some classic britpop with some well known tracks

Underrated band! Will def dive deeper into their catalogue

Not super impressive. Didn’t really get into it.

Not sure what to say. Was a solid Britpop album, both great, not bad 🤷‍♂️

It's good, catchy and fun. But one or two songs cut from it would of done wonders for overall listen. 3/5

The record is nice, but I didn't find it groundbreaking. I like the vibe, it's an interesting mix of alternative rock and pop punk. The first half of the record is very energetic, although it feels a bit monotonous. Besides "Alright", the first half doesn't have much variation in terms of sound. The second half mixes more moods, and I feel the record works the best when alternating between more laid-back tracks like "Time To Go", or even "She's So Loose" and the other high energy ones. The performances are pretty good, some nice drumming and solid guitar playing. The keyboard can be a bit much, like for example in "I'd Like To Know". The vocals are very fitting for the Britpop vibe, and the lyrics are good enough: nothing groundbreaking but not out of place either. I did find it remarkable that Supergrass were very young when they put this record out, yet they were great instrumentally and very cohesive with their sound. As for favourites, "Alright" is a classic, and deservedly so. But the one I liked the most was "She's So Loose". "Strange Ones" was also good and pretty catchy.

pretty good. great time period album, a fun nostalgic listen

A bit of a mixed bag, I feel like it packs both some of the best britpop songs I've heard so far (not made by Pulp) like Caught by the Fuzz, Lose It or Sitting up Straight, these songs pack so much energy and fun groves but also emotion which I enjoy a ton and wished more power pop-y stuff had this type of sound. But also has some whatever songs which I can just take or leave, mainly because they dip into the typical pop rock sound like Alright or Strange Ones. Still, not a bad record at all and one I fully expect to keep growing on me in the future

paar zeer goeie, paar flauwe, en soms wat overbodige gimmicks

Okay alt rock album, a lot of same sounding tracks.

Standard rock

Pretty basic rock

better than i expected it to be. actually enjoyed a lot of the songs

3.7, grimy good british

it was very nice!

that song was in everything for so long

Pretty good! I’d never heard of them and wasn’t expecting much, but this was fun to listen to.

3.1/alright goes hard but the rest of this is an acquired taste

Not a genre I’ve been too fond of but this one kindda clicked better for me , I can totally see myself in a arena bopping head and screaming along

Fun, upbeat album. ‘Alright’ is iconic. Bright and playful. Classic Brit sound. Gritty vocals.

Decent if not typical brit pop/rock.

Alternative rock with heavy keyboard

I like their second album "In It For The Money" much better, but that's probably a matter of taste, like everything else here.

It’s Alright ::wink emoji::

Smurfig punkpop, alright är onekligen en banger. Jag hade förmånen att se de live på Hultsfred det året. Om sanningen ska fram så ha inte albumet åldrats speciellt väl. Lite charmigt, men det är jobbigt att orka en hel lyssning

Kinda generic 90s alt rock Neither bad or good. Just there

Not bad. Like an earlier poor man's British Strokes. Caught By The Fuzz the prime cut in amongst the other meats.

Great energy, and Alright is a classic, but a few of the songs get repetitive while the rest are just a bit plain.

Overall I thought it was an okay album. Alright is the highlight, wasn't expecting to get something from the Clueless soundtrack this morning but it was a welcome surprise.

Alright is a classic and the rest is pretty good. A few songs that could be cut from this.

This is another case of between 3 and 4 for me

think special, but not painful. solid 3.

Fun! I like this vibe. Would have been a 3.5.

I had heard some of Supergrass later stuff but had never heard this album. This was good and helped highlight some of their growth musically as a group

The first half of this album sounds like an uncovered lost album from MGMT. Strange Ones to Sitting Up Straight was a high point of the album, that stretch sounds like MGMT and the Pixies collabed. I also loved the harmonica on Time and basically the rest of the album. The first half was nothing special, but the second half was strong. This deserves somewhere between a 3 and 4, probably a 3.75. We'll round ... down.

Meh. I like alt rock. The bones here are all good. I just don't feel like anything here was super impressive.

Generally good 90's Brit Rock. I'd probably give this four stars. But then there's the song, "She's so Loose", and I'm not sure if it's slut shaming or not? So downgrading to 3 stars.

I am not sure why Supergrass flew below my radar. I was a teen into music when they were popular. Listening to them, I understand better. This is like British Green Day or pop punk Oasis. Alright is familiar but from a commercial. It's not a terrible song. There's nothing great about this album....nothing terrible either, and with this list, that's not nothing. I'm ready to abandon this album with the chipmunk voices on We're Not Supposed To. Time is the best song on the album. No it is not, Sofa (Of My Lethargy) is.

Kanye shrug

Great energy, reminds me of friends jsmmimg out

близковато к панку, но норм

Kind of sounded like a band The Killers were influenced by. Alright came on and I actually recognized that song, not sure where from though. I feel like this band should have been a lot more popular, they bring a bit more of a punk edge to indie rock music. Strange One’s was also a good song. His voice on it reminded me of Syd Barrett during the chourus.

Some cool songs here! I could probably be convinced that this is actually a 4 and I’m just being grumpy because it sounds influential to a lot of music I used to like and don’t anymore. Oops.

THirty-one years ago... I dislikes this band and album. Now... well... it's OK. Echos of Power Pop and some Glam Rock - hints of Mott The Hoople. But, one listen is enough.

This album is a bit of a polarized listen for me; sometimes the energy is fun and contagious, and other times I feel a bit annoyed by it. "Alright" is really amazing, and is so interesting to me as it's a song that was released in 1995 but sounds so much like an early 2010's indie pop track in every single facet. The vocal tone, the guitar parts, the structure, the production... you could tell me this is a Vampire Weekend song and I wouldn't question it because it fits into that time period so well. "Lose It" and "Lenny" are both really cool too, with great distorted guitars and saturated vocals, and energy for days. This album is a nice listen, but even as I finish it I still feel hot and cold on it, so with that being said I'm hitting it with a pretty middle of the road 3/5.

An energetic, loud and thoroughly english punk/pop-punk record. Sounds just like it's cover. The first three songs are just straight up roaring punk music, especially the track Mansized Rooster(my favourite from the album). Then comes the popular teenage song 'Alright' which was just really alright. Lyrically the album is just what most of the contemporary brit pop/rock albums were about, namely teenagers being wild and carefree and hating society and so on. The album never really loses its momentum, even though the songs around the middle were not much remarkable. Sofa (Of My Lethargy) was a nice ballad and felt quite different from the overall sound of the album. Definitely a fun listening experience.

Sounds like the pogues. I like it.

Fun. (26 known/54 new)

Okay album

Punky in a good way

Alright is an all time banger. The rest of the album is okay, but not memorable.

Cool, not for me. Solid tracks, nothing really clicked.

The first half of this album is a bop. It sort of falls off after that, but an eminently listenable and energetic first half. Along with a banger of a song I would NEVER have been able to pick the band of (Alright). I will be coming back.

Fun! Nice energy

Der Bänger ist super, ansonsten ist es mir zu viel

This is Britpop not sounding majorly different from Oasis. Despite not really knowing the artist or album by name, I recognized the track Alright, and would note that as the best on the album. Overall this was a good but not great album, and I would listen to it again.

I Should Coco is a lot of things thrown together. It’s very energetic punk, but at times Beatlesesque and the second half is more classic rock. One thing that carries through it all is massive amounts of energy. This made be very good, requires more listens. 7.4/10

strong start, weaker second half fun album made by people who sound like they get up to antics and shenanigans

To be reviewed later... Not bad, not great either

Har some great tracks and was a very fresh breeze at the time, but time hasn't been kund to it.

I rate alright a 3 star because I like it but its not really for me and its like country I don't really like contry. I rate caught be the fuzz a 5 star because its like matalica and it like matalica and it has good energy and I like it. I rate sofa of my lethargy a 3 star because I like it but its not really for me and its like country I don't really like contry

I like this album because the lyrics are very descriptive. I also enjoy the vibe the music brings.

I love this album because it reminds me of summer

Do you want to listen to some music that has some a lot of drums? Well in Alright Supergrass you can! I rate this song a ⭐⭐⭐. I kind of recommend this song. Do you want to listen to some music that Is a rock song? Well in Caught By The Fuzz you can! I rate this song a ⭐⭐⭐. I kind of f recommend this song. Do you want to listen to some music that has a lot of guitar? Well in Sofa (Of My Lethargy) you can! I rate this song a ⭐⭐⭐. I kind of recommend this song.

I don't like this album that much because it's too jazzy and happy. I also don't like it because I don't like how the singers voice sounds. I would not recommend this album to someone else because I don't think that they would actually like it. I would give this a solid 3 out of five stars.

i hate the abulbm cover its scary but the songs sounded cool liked them so yeah the songs sounded cool but thr cover scared mee

As britbop albums go I thought this had quite a unique sound but just didn’t really stick with me

queuing up at the chippy, telling the queen where to shove it, and wearing your best Union Jack vest to every festival

It was ok. All new to me

Overall: 6/10 I didn't expect this to feel as "punk" as it does. I like the vocals and it's a pretty fun album, the songs just don't wow me enough to give it a super high rating. I do find it impressive considering how young these guys were at the time. Fav Song: Mansize Rooster Least Fav Song: Lose It

Supergood

Just liked the one song I knew - alright - but rest sort of are like group love

Quite good rock music with a sound that feels really familiar, probably since a lot of alt-rock around this time has a similar sound. Supergrass do have their own twist that clearly shows in the album. Great tempo and some catchy songs on here. Will definitely listen to again.

I do like a bit a Britpop, but not quite a 4 for me. Have listened to this in the past, in the hope that it would be up there with Pulp, Blur, Oasis etc. not quite. Alright is one of those songs that everyone knows but couldn’t tell you who it was by it when it was released. Simpsons: No

The most solid 3 star yet.

It's a middle-of-the-road kind of album. Some parts I enjoyed, such as Alright and We're not supposed to. It's also quite cool to find out the album is Cockney rhyming slang. Then there were other bits especially towards the end, that I didn't like, which is a shame because I was getting into it

at its core it’s british punk which is not my thing at all. but strip away some fuzzy guitar and some screamy vocals and you find some damn good songs. it’s obvious that they’re having a lot of fun and tend to make the cool choices rather than the simple ones

I don't know. Kind of sounds OK, possibly even quite decent, but I just don't have much appetite for this at the moment

Like all pop singers, Gaz Coombes reminds us to never lose our heads: 'I'd like to wake up in the middle of a dream w/ you'; 'We wake up, we go out, smoke a fag / Put it out, see our friends'; 'I have a little smoke to pass the time of day.' But he's also a killer, a lover, and a 'strange one.' Unlike other Britpop acts, Supergrass returns to the punk scene of more recent memory rather than sixties rock (Beatles, Stones, Kinks). Unfortunately, they're not as convincing as they could be since Gaz doesn't have a memorable, vital voice. The best tracks here are 'Alright,' the most successful single, as well as 'Time' and 'Sofa (Of My Lethargy).' They're slower, more poignant, less frantic for the sake of fast. B/c otherwise, this bears empty calories.

Solid.

Some fun songs, I liked the last 2 especially, but you've got to be in the right mood to get down with this kind of energy, and I wasn't fully feeling it.

Ok, just doesn't really sing to me much. Kind of generic, but at least better than the terrible rock from late 90s. We're not supposed to a little on goofy side--sounds like the Chipmunks on helium.

This was pretty good. I think it runs out of steam after a bit and it eventually kinda boils into the same-ish 90’s Britpop. Not bad, not great.

I liked the song "Alright"

That's not my taste in music - But ok

Fine. Maybe keep the Cockneys out of the music business next time

terrivelmente underrated

3 - Never heard of this band or album before. Upon listening, I was jamming to some britpop punk. Great album, some bangers, and overall a fun band to groove with

Экспрессивная музыка

I like the song, Alright but the rest were kinda meh. Might be a good road trip album

bass riff from the first song sounds like the horrible histories theme like if the clash had more teenage angst the drumming stands out - unrestricted and fun

Better than I expected, but not that original / interesting. Decent catchy numbers.

Quite enjoyable, not amazing - probs marginally closer to a 3 than 2

high energy punk music with pop sensibilities that was a debut offering from Supergrass, a band that has impacted everyone from train robbers to taylor hawkins.

Not a huge amount to say, classic britpop imo, pretty fun? to listen to? Would give it a 3.5 if I could, 3 is a bit harsh perhaps Fav song: Alright

One banger (Alright), and a number of tracks on the B side that remind of White Album Beatles or something like that. A good mid-90's alt/punk/indie and makes sense that they were contemporaries of Green Day.

A bit of a one-hit wonder in my book and I should Coco.....

Never really listened to supergrass before (apart from alright which I didn’t know was them). Didn’t think I’d like this album very much from the first song but it really grew on me. Not so much the more punky, in your face songs but some of the slower, more melodic stuff is surprisingly lovely.

This is my second Supergrass album, it was decent, like the first. Mid-grade Britpop.

I don't really have any strong feelings on this one way or the other.

Recognized 2 songs which is always cool when you don’t recognize the name of the band. Felt very 90’s and wasn’t surprised that they were on the Clueless soundtrack. Good sound, good listen. Probably won’t be back but I enjoyed the ride.

middle of the road brit-pop-punk album for me. I find that this album is super cohesive, but it makes sense when you read that this is their first album.

I like the style of these guys. Lots of catchiness. “Alright” is on a ton of commercials in the UK. Loved the piano intro to “Sitting Up Straight”. It did start to drag on in the second half, but a positive experience nonetheless.

I had fun

Big surprise knowing some of these songs! Liked their sound overall, but only a few standout songs. Low 3.

One major hit that a large majority of people know, a few other good songs, and not terrible background music. That’s a three if I’ve ever heard one.

Huh... I always thought the "We are young. We are free song" was way older than this. Now I know where it came from.
