I'm not sure if I've heard of this band before. All of the music was new to me. Occassionally the vocals reminded me of Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins). From time to time the music reminded me a little of a few other bands from the 90s like Beck, Oasis, or the Dandy Warhols. This album sounds like it would have fit in with any of those bands. I liked the album overall. Every track was at least "okay". "Cheapskate" and "Sun Hits the Sky" were my favorite tracks. This album is 3.5 stars --> rounding up to 4.
First band I'm giving back-to-back 5 star ratings for (nearly 200 days in!). Crazy fun, super catchy, fuzzy power pop. Really enjoyed this and "I Should Coco". Favorite tracks: "G Song", "Richard III", "Hollow Little Reign"
REALLY good. I've heard the band off and on, of course, but this is the first time I've sat down and closely listened to an album as a whole.
Wow, had not heard of Supergrass and I really like their alt-rock vibe. This band has some incredible musicians. Very sophisticated and well-thought-out stuff!
Title track comes on first, but damn this album is long. 71 minutes? IIRC Grass is tattling in the UK. These guys were also linked to another band or a solo act? Ah yes, Mick joined Swervedriver. This is good! Psych pop. Kinda reminds me of a british GBV with harmonies and rock chords. Is that a fucking theremin?
Huge sound, total party/ cruise vibe. Thunderous bass, crunchy guitars, shouty vocals, groovy drums. 60s-70s influences
When i saw that 'alright' wasn't on this, i was sad, as i thought it was all i knew by them... turns out i was wrong. Banger after banger. Super album.
Great album. Not a lot of time to listen but I can’t wait to sink my teeth into it a bit more!
Gran descubrimiento este disco no conocia ni al grupo ni el disco, muy variado y divertido
Ah, childhood memories. I've got so much time for Supergrass, especially the first two albums. It's always catchy but also at times heavy, quirky, sophisticated, and most of all a lot of fun. A band who really knows the power of a good chord change. The guitar solo on Late In The Day is an all-time favourite - always makes me smile/shiver. 4.5, but I'm rounding up this time (nostalgia bias innit).
Wow. That was a very good surprise. A lot of mixed rock styles, some of them looking like 60's classics and also some kind of grunge (?) at the end of the '90s. They are not the best in any of these styles and besides some songs, they are not memorable, however, the album looks like a real walk through song style and all very well played. Nothing much more to say. but "Supergrass" will be included in my songs research for the future.
Fav songs: - In it for the money - Late in the day - Sun Hits The Sky - Hollow Little Reign - Wait for the Sun
This one was really fun. There's a good chance I'm gonna be a sucker for anything with that much organ and horns.
Sick. I had a really good time with this - there was no song that I didn't enjoy. "In It For The Money", "Richard III", "Sun Hits the Sky" and "You Can See Me" were the best of the best for me. Very pleasantly surprised, it's always the albums with the most garbage covers that I seem to enjoy the most in the end. I mean, the cover's not bad, but it (together with the band name) made me think I was going to be listening to bluegrass. (I only listened to what Spotify considers to be "disc 1", since disc 2 is for the bonus tracks according to Wikipedia)
Better than I expected. Based on the cover, I thought it would be a kind of folk-punky affair, but it has some really interesting songs. On the higher side of 4.
Strong 4. Great Rock that just rips emotions out of you, excitement and longing alike. Second half is better. Standout Tracks: Late In The Day, Sun Hits The Sky, Going Out, It’s Not Me, Cheapskate, You Can See Me, Hollow Little Reign
This is some absolutely first-rate indie rock. That's it. That's all I can come up with at the moment. This is certainly worth a revisit, but I just like it in a simple way, especially after a bunch of projects I didn't dig in the same way. The melodies are sticky and the songs fly by.
Classic Britpop from happier times. Not quite Oasis v Blur but a good choice nonetheless
Surprisingly good and upbeat rock album which doesnt have any bad songs but also too little great songs to deserve a 5
Only three songs in and I am already loving this album. Super catchy, great energy, just really fun.
I really liked this album. It had some strange mix of folk/punk sounds. Would definitely buy this album.
Great album. Didn't love it as much as their previous one but this one was pretty killer
I wasn't sure what to expect. I had heard of Supergrass, but not sure if I've heard their music before. This was really good though. High energy, great production.
Another good album (and surprised that I haven't heard the group before). And, it's a different sound than their first album.
Eine der CDs, die völlig in Vergessenheit geraten war. Als ich das Cover hier gesehen habe, konnte ich mich kein Stück erinnern, sie schon mal ganz gehört zu haben. Und als ich sie dann gehört habe, war ich verwundert, dass ich fast jeden Song mindestens mitsummen kann. Viele Hits. Vielleicht höre ich bald mal wieder rein. Auf jeden Fall fette 4,4 Punkte!
Enjoyable album. More tracks I recognised than I thought I would, good guitars and blends of instruments arranged very nicely. Very good album.
Just classic rock, pretty good to listen to in the background (with maybe the exception of a few exotic fragments).
Stevig album met goeie gitaarriffs. 'Sun hits the sky' is het bekendste nummer. Af en toe een psychedelisch orgeltje erin. Geen fan van de vele fade-outs. luie manier om een song te eindigen.
Really good music. Somehow I hadn’t heard them before, but will listen to their other albums.
4.5, this was dope. Really good britpoprock with some cool psychedelic elements sprinkled in
Good power pop. I've been enjoying it on repeat, but none of it is really sticking (i.e., I don't find myself recalling the songs when I'm not playing it). I can definitely see listening to it again but it's strange that I can't seem to keep it in my head. Maybe I need to listen more closely. Giving it a 4 in anticipation of getting into it more over time.
This was a tough one to rate so I gave it a few listens. The first 2 tracks feel incomplete to me. They both fade out right when they seem like they're going to get interesting. I keep hearing this great instrumental break in my head during Richard III that never happens. I originally thought 3 stars because it's a good average album but I've noticed that a lot of the songs have gotten stuck in my head during the day. "Tonight", "Late in the Day" and "Sun Hits the Sky" in particular. The album has really grown on me. Enough for a 4th star (or at least a 3 1/2 rounded up)
I know a few of the songs off the album but never listened to it in full. It's solid. You can also see their influence in taking Brit-Pop from Blur and Oasis to a slightly more frenetic pace that defines (not just in the UK) the post-punk alternative sounds of the late 90s and early 2000s (Kaiser Chiefs, the Strokes, the Vines, etc.). Loved the first half of the album, got a little boring, monotonous, or just not as good in the second half.
I really dug this. We had watched a documentary on BritPop in the 90s so I had heard of this group but knew nothing about the songs. Some of the songs did start to blur together a bit, but maybe that was just me. Still, very enjoyable.
Sick album, didn't quite hit the 5 mark but very very close. Would've got there if they tightened up the run time a bit, loses its focus a bit in parts. Hollow Little Reign is the highlight, love the meandering psychadeliea.
A great record, lots of inventive chord twists and turns in the songs. Main songwriter has obviously thoroughly digested his dad's record collection of '60's pop/rock then integrated it into his own unique style. Heaps of great songs I'll be listening to again in the future.
Nearly a 5 star. A combination of fantastic pop/brit rock with dashing of psychedelics and some fantastic songwriting. My only issue is that it does seems to drift a bit at times, losing focus. Would have been better 3-4 songs shorter.
Really enjoyed this album. I could hear the influences from both directions from the other big name bands of the 90's.
Great alt rock album, definitely some bangers and will be following the band more Fave track: Richard III
Didn't expect to see this here. Fair enough, it's pretty enjoyable for someone who likes Britpop. Better than Aerosmith anyway. Fun Fact: I went to see Gaz Coombes live in New York, but got so drunk before the gig that I passed out and pissed myself. Fun Fact 2: I went to see Supergrass in Amsterdam, but the day before I eat half a space cake and pissed myself.
odd one, there are 5 of supergrass' best tracks on here. richard III, late in the day, sun hits the sky, going out and its not me, but the filler is just a bit too shit. in true Alan Partridge fashion i would rather listen to the greatest hits album, i'd never put this album on to bask in this creative body of work. weird i'd consider myself a supergrass fan but this is probably their best album and i'd rather listen to the singles. same sort of thing with new order. stilll gets a decent score though cos those 5 tracks as a 5 track EP would get a decent score.
Solid album with some great tracks and it's well produced too. Just too long for my taste. To be great, a record needs to be tighter. When the running time is 71 mins there's too much opportunity to put weak tracks on there that detract from the overall score, which is what happened here. When it's good it's really good though. Supergrass have always been one of my favourite underrated British bands of the nineties.
Decent wall of sound when played loud. Sun Hits The Sky was a highlight as well as this version of Caught By The Fuzz. Gaz's voice doesn't match his face though. 4 stars
This is a very accomplished album. Is it as good as I Should Coco, their brilliant and much lauded debut? I'm not the one to ask. You see In It for the Money is my introduction to Supergrass and as such will always hold a unique place for me. Regardless In it for the Money is a GREAT brit pop album and packs a rockers punch that other more celebrated albums of the genre never quite reach for me. Every song has their charms. I had forgotten how good an album this is. 4.5 stars.
A compelling, energetic and likeable listen from a band who are restlessly throwing everything on the table- even if some of it's a little half-baked. After a more straight-up rock and roll debut in "I Should Coco", Supergrass seem to be going for more of an eclectic feel here, expanding their musical vocabulary slightly. There's more instrumentation, from the brass section in the opener, theremin in propulsive rocker "Richard III", bongo breakdown in "Sun Hits the Sky." Gaz Coombes gives a very assured performance on vocals and the interplay between the three members is terrific- they give the sense that they're firing on all cylinders. Take the title track, an absolutely incredible opener: from the ominous lone organ chord and diminished chord guitar arpeggios to the "We're in it for the money" chant, building up to an explosive riff and vocal which then bridges into an incredible middle-8... it's by far the highlight on the record, and sets the stage for a peerless album. From this point, we're treated to more riff-tastic Britpop, with dialled-up guitars, thick production and embellishments from other instruments. It's all good fun, but I wish Supergrass veered in more directions musically. Their momentum and enthusiasm carries them through the first half, but then things do tail off slightly: "It's Not Me" is a forgettable experiment with balladry that doesn't quite land, "Hollow Little Reign" doesn't offer anything new, and "Sometimes I Make You Sad" is a disappointing closer, with experimentation in vocal percussion and flanging coming off as a gimmick. They had the talent to be much more eclectic than this, and it's a shame we don't see it here. Other songs remain frustratingly uneven, like "Cheapskate", only taking off whenever its chorus kicks in. Even "Late In The Day"'s Beatles-y sing-along refrain (just the right side of irritating) is disrupted by yawning acoustic-driven verses. On the whole though, this album is a lot of fun to listen to and most of the songs remain infectious and energetic. Anecdotal side note: Supergrass were the last band I saw live before the first UK lockdown. Them playing "Sun Hits the Sky" with a guest appearance from Johnny Marr was transcendental, and almost that memory alone brings this album to an easy 4*.
Uvijek sam za da poslušam britpop. Iznenadio me album, ima stvarno dobrih stvari. Favoritne: Richard III, G Song, Sun Hits the Sky, Going Out.
Quite a good surprise. Ran over a little too long without adding much in my opinion. Would listen to CD 1 again.
Above average entertaining. Wouldn't listen to the whole album again. Put some of the songs on my favorites to repeat.
That was fun. Lots of variety, it's not grunge or Britpop but has a mix of a lot of styles. Good tunes.
Surprisingly silly and raw. I quite enjoyed this, although wish I could maybe chop it in half into two albums.
If Billy Corgan had an affair with Britpop, this would be the baby. Well written, well performed, and well produced, but there is a certain special “it factor” that it seems to be missing to really push it to greater heights.
From the cover and the band name, I was kinda hoping for some sort of electric bluegrass situation. I was mildly disappointed, upon hitting play, to find out that Supergrass is just another britpop band. After getting over my disappointment, I realized something else about this band: this is where Jack White got his sound. He legitimately lifted it wholesale from Supergrass. I had to check the wiki to be sure that this wasn't, in fact, an early Jack White project. The two are utterly indistinguishable. Jack White, you're a dirty thief and I didn't even know it. As far as the album goes, it was fun but, like a Jack White joint, nothing super exceptional.
A big Supergrass fan, and you have to wonder what would have happened to their careers had Spielberg followed through with his plan to install them as the "new monkees". Great upbeat Britpop that should have had a longer legacy
Some proper bangers from the old days - better than I remembered and holding up well after 20 years
No stand out favorites, but this album surprised me. Has a fun rock feel. I like the longer guitar solos. Would listen to again. Nice energizing the background music for work!
Late in the day Richard III Sun hits the sky It's not me In it for the money Et pourtant pas leur meilleur album.. quel groupe
В альбоме можно встретить очень разные песни. Торжественные, блюзовые баллады, арт - рок-ен-рольные, с вставкой пианино или синтезатора. Атмосферно, для любого настроения.
This album sits on the edge between Britpop and 2000s indie rock. The music is enjoyable and driving even if it’s not the most innovative thing I’ve ever heard. The melodies are memorable and remind me a bit of Oasis. The vocals have a Mick Jagger like swagger to them that really suits the music.
What sounds like a theramin saves a rather clichéd arrangement of Richard III. Interesting maj7 variation of the standard blues riff in Tonight. Pleasing chord pattern and arrangement in Late in the Day. Sun Hits the Sky and Cheapskate top, catchy tracks. You Can See Me also decent. Sitting Up Straight nods to punk influence and Melanie Davis could have been spawned by her phonetic namesake Ray. Sex sounds like a Stones cover - I like it! Got to commend this album. 21 songs and enough variety to make it interesting throughout. Well played, thoughtful arrangements, interesting changes. Not an absolute classic for me but an enjoyable listen.
The hangover/come down from Britpop begins in earnest. Mix of perfect power pop / indie rock with a darker sensibility. Things weren't alright anymore. Best Tracks: Richard III; Sun Hits The Sky; Going Out
Пока, возможно, главное открытие списка. Великолепный альбом. Несколько отличных песен. Прослушал несколько раз. Некоторые песни явно войдут в мой личный плейлист. Удивлен, что вообще не особо слышал что-либо об этой группе и насколько она малоизвестна сейчас.
The lads certainly hit their straps with this one. Richard III through to G-Song a four track slab of goodness.
They're Smashing Pumpkins... if Billy had a positive attitude. This is a lot of fun but it is too long.
Always a good sign when every track sounds like a single. A quantum leap from the caffeine rush of the first album.
I'd never heard of these guys. This was a nice surprise. They reminded me, somewhat, of Burning Brides. "G Song", "Cheapskate", and "How Little Reign" were the standouts. "Sometimes I Make You Sad" is an earworm song.
This is a very accomplished album. Is it as good as I Should Coco, their brilliant and much lauded debut? I'm not the one to ask. You see In It for the Money is my introduction to Supergrass and as such will always hold a unique place for me. Regardless In it for the Money is a GREAT brit pop album and packs a rockers punch that other more celebrated albums of the genre never quite reach for me. Every song has their charms. I had forgotten how good an album this is. 4.5 🌟
Very enjoyable album, I was very surprised by its content, giving the bad taste of the cover.
Litt vel langt album, men i det store og det hele kult. Synes det tok seg opp fra sang 4. Late in the day - foreløpig favoritt. Kune hørt dette igjen.
Solid bit of work that doesn't give away the tense circumstances under which it was evidently created. First half/two thirds is better than the latter part, probably, but the best songs on here are major highlights of the later end of Britpop.
I've given this a strangely low rating, although even a 3 is surprisingly good for me. I've never loved Supergrass however, individually every song on this album kicks ass. A whole album of them isn't that pleasing though. I'd be happy if any of these tracks appeared on the radio, but not all of them at once.
Hatte ich nicht so gut erwartet, wirklich nicht. Beim 2. Hören hält der erste gute Eindruck nicht ganz, was er verspricht, aber dennoch gute 3 Sterne.
Very okay, I enjoyed some of the sounds and the feel of the album. Felt a little long but worth the listen
I didn't make it through the full double album, but it was pretty good. I really liked "G-song"
Psychedelic Brit-pop/rock is a thing and this album is pretty enjoyable. I was reluctant at first, but it soon caught up. Three stars!
Ein damals von mir am wenigsten beachtetes Werk der Rampensäue. Live eines der besten Erlebnisse. Das ausgerechnet dieses Album nun auftaucht ist jedoch etwas ungewöhnlich, da sich erst in wenigen Stücken (Late in the Day) der große Wurf des gleichnamigen Folgewerks abzeichnet, jedoch weite Strecken von "In it for the Money" etwas zu sehr scheppern und unfein übersteuert, ja sogar die Songs unkenntlich produziert wirken. Wegen der guten Aussichten eine knappe 3
Thought is wac ok, but didn’t really jump out as special. A mix of 70s rock and 90s grunginess. I was surprised by Wikipedia reporting that this album was rated so highly when released.
Nooit veel mee gehad met deze band. Vandaag hebben ze het weer mee dus dat levert ze een extra ster op
Not bad, not great either. Wouldn't mind listening to it again, but would never start to play this myself
Another weird one. There are parts that I quite dislike, but other parts are made interesting through the use of different kinds of instruments and fusions with various other styles of music.
Haven't listened to this in years! Not a go to artist or album for me, but that was a good wee jaunt down memory lane :)
3 tracks in; it's not terrible but it's bog standard pop/rock. nearing the end; it's okay for what it is. not original or special in any way, but not completely unenjoyable. 3/5
I guess it's not bad, but also not life changing. -S Some fun stuff on here! But it didn’t melt my face off.
I expected to hate it, but I found it not bad. They sound like a mixture of a bunch of 90's bands
Pretty decent 90s rock album. I do like the variety of instrumentation here and the singles are pretty good. Solid album.
yeah, that was alright. missed them at the time, and like with I Should Coco, i don't think i would've given this one much of a shot - but i enjoyed it overall, for sure.
I've been listening to Gaz Coombes over the last couple of years, at the suggestion of Spotify. He was a lot more floor-on-the-floor back in this Supergrass days, but he was still a good songwriter and a good singer. The LP get's off to a kickin' start, especially with Richard III. A handful of catchy songs.
Some of the songs were quite good like In it for the Money and Richard III. This band just doesn't seem to be made for ballads. It's Not Me is hard for me to enjoy.There are some songs such as Late in the Day that are in between and likeable.
I can't remember much about these guys but they used to get a bit of late night rage play. Was that 90s alternative stuff with the quaint English look but sounded like Nirvana. Ok it's a bit more britpop than Nirvana but yeah. Not too bad, not too good, just kinda there. 3/5.
I like the music and voicework, and In It For the Money is a strong start, though i would say G-Song is probably my favorite. The album is fine though not too many standouts to lift it higher.
C'est bon, mais je ne suis pas certain d'aimer ça. De la brit pop avec une touche de rock. Comme beaucoup d'album dans cette liste. 3.25 je n'était pas dans le mood peut être. Un réécoute bientôt probablement .
The 90’s ahhhhh. Music like this always inspires me to cry wank. Can’t beat a good cry wank. Wanking with “a beadle hand” is no laughing matter either!
Some of these were groovy, but others were a little weird. But not in a like a cool interesting way...
not quite sure what I expected here and don't think i've ever listened to them. Solid songs - really liked Melanie Davis
Supergrass are a band where I get a lot more enjoyment from the albums than their big 'hits'. Alright et al have been overplayed to the point of annoyance. Which is why it is doubly refreshing to listen to an album without arguably their top 3 biggest songs on. Sun hits the sky hasn't quite reached that point yet
Straight up Brit Rock from the late 90's but with a bit more pace and edge. Not punk edge, just energy edge.
Pretty fun. Not the greatest songs but the energy is palpable. Probably wouldn't listen to this album again though.
Kind of strange, not the best. It sounds about average, and nothing really sticks out to me. It is a little different, but that doesn't make it great.
I liked this one. Had low expectations for '90s rock music, but this was enjoyable. A somewhat retro sound, with a handful of tracks I dug. Nothing too special, but this is a good album. Favorite tracks: Late in the Day, G-Song, Sun Hits the Sky. Album art: Very deceptive, thought this was some missing Crosby, Stills, Nash album at first glance. I like this though, pretty funny to see a band of hobos and one is playing a pristine upright bass. 3.5/5
Surpised there was a second Supergrass album. I liked it, although I liked the first one better.
I've never heard of this group. The album art looks like 60's trying to evoke 30's, but I see it is from 1997. The cover strikes me as a band that is very sure of itself. Not sure yet if they are goofy/fun or cocky. Seeing it is a double album I'm worried maybe the latter. The title track starts out sounding 90's British pop and fine but a tad boring. The next song, Richard III, has more energy and clear grunge vibes, with some interesting musical moments, which I'm liking. My hopes are dashed by the next couple of meh songs. As the album wears on I'm impressed by the variety, and the quirkiness is winning in places. All of the music is good (except maybe the ballad It's Not Me and Sometimes I Make You Sad which really don't work) and many the songs are very good, like Richard III. The band sounds great together and the production quality is faultless. But the album as a whole doesn't grab me. I expect if they had put half has many songs on this album I would have been blown away. Curious about the popularity of this band I checked out some other music. I like Alright tons and also St. Petersburg but HATE Moving. /Shrug
I liked the opening half of this album, but it didn't really sustain itself toward the end. Give it a try for some decent British rock (bordering on pop punk at times), but I think it falls short of "classic" territory.
I have this album on CD, but have never given it much of a listen beyond Richard III and Sun Hits the Sky. It seems I've been missing out all these years as it's a rather good collection of varied songs and much more complex and mature than their debut. It may have benefited from the brass and other non-guitar instrumentation being brought out more in production. 3.5/5.
This was good. Never really listened to Supergrass before, but new they hada couple of hit songs. Will listen to more.
Some fine songs, but mostly forgettable. Meh. 2.5? I'll give it a 3, cause I'm sure it would grow on me if I put it in regular rotation, but after this listen? I'm just not motivated to do that.
90s Brit-Pop, with this, the second album I've gotten from Supergrass - a band I never heard of before starting this list. I wondered before what made them a 'must listen' and now that they have so far, two albums on this list, I wonder what is their catch? This is a good album, for what it represents. 3.5/5.
Always thought this was a solid album and that Supergrass is a typical singles band - still think the same although the non-single album track You Can See Me is one of the stronger songs.
No-one disliked it. No strong feelings either way. One or two 90s memories for Conor. The slightly oddity of the music was appreciated. 3.2/5
If there were half points id be going 3.5. I probably couldn't listen to it on repeat but enjoyed the album.
Definitely very Britpop. Nice pulsating riffs on this album. Certainly an easy to listen to record. Biggest gripe is that a lot of songs sounded similar
Beginning of the album felt like some quintessential 90s rock, later felt like their own genre. Love the breakdown in Sun Hits The Sky. A ton of instruments (I even thought I heard a sitar in Sometimes I Make You Sad). Would've given it 4 stars but the mixing made it hard to hear the vocals. Favorite Songs - In It For The Money, Hollow Little Reign
This seemed fairly generic, and why are there multiple Supergrass albums on this list? I just got one last week.
Recognized their #1 Spotify song, Alright, and always thought they were a one-hit wonder. Maybe they were, but this album is pretty fun to listen to.
J'aime beaucoup l'énergie du groupe. Le petit côté grunge de Richard III est excellent. La groove de G-Song est vraiment contagieuse. It's Not Me est un peu ennuyante. Il semblerait que Richard III serait plus dans la veine du premier album donc je vais me diriger vers cet album pour une écoute. Mais tout de même intéressant comme groupe.
Cet album est en avance sur son temps. Ça sonne un peu comme toute la vague 2007 (MGMT, Passion Pit, Tame...(Non, je ne vais pas jusque là)). J’ai bien aimé.
Connaissais de nom Pas mauvais du tout! Les chansons sont bien écrite, harmoniquement diversifiée et originale. La prod est super le fun, belles instrumentations. On sent qu'ils ont une culture musicale. On y retrouve des éléments des Beatles (chords, harmonies) Pink Floyd (les sons de synth, chords) la drive et le rock de Radiohead et autres bands brit de l'époque, Tout ça avec la voix de smashing pumkins🤣
22nd April 2022 Listened on the drive back home from the airport. Back to earth with a britpop bump. Quite nice to be driving through London listening to this, more so than other britpop records had the whimsy and folk tilt of the Beatles. Very eclectic album which I wouldn’t have associated with supergrass previously.
While there were some enjoyable parts on this album, I got tired of it at some point in its 70 minute runtime. Not bad alternative Brit rock from the 90s but not entirely my thing
I don't really know what to say about this album. Everything is good without being exceptional. It reminds me of Oasis, but without huge songs that lift us up.
Great britpop album with a bit of a theatrical delivery. In that way they are closer to Blur than Oasis, which might explain why I enjoyed it.
jeg likte dette. kommer til å ta det med videre. God kjøremusikk. Cheapskate var min favoritt.
Kannte außer „Sun hits the Sky“ die Platte gar nicht. Super Single, aber mir kommt es so vor als wären große/größte Teile der Platte nach genau dem selben Rezept gestrickt. Und damit insgesamt mit zu viel Overdrive gefahren; und war das Nasenpulver-Angebot etwas zu großzügig? Die Typen fand/finde ich immer gut, aber die Platte war‘s für mich jetzt nicht so.
Après nous avoir passé des gros noms toute la semaine passée, je ne suis pas trop gâté en feux d’artifices cette semaine. J’ai trouvé l’album correct, un genre de Oasis moins dépressif et moins alcoolique. On dirait Sylvain Cossette qui joue du Brit Pop des années 1990.
Saved Prior: None Off Rip: Tonight, It's Not Me, Cheapskate Cutting Edge: None Overall Notes: Not a good sign of my enjoyment of the type of music a band is shooting for when the 3 songs I save aren't in the top half of most streamed on the album. Just came off a little too brash and noisy, and I gave this album a LOT of attempts to grow on me. A 2 feels harsh, but a 3 feels generous. A true 2.5 that I'm going to round down because score inflation.
Grew on me a bit and I liked a few songs, but still tough to judge. Too long and it feels/sounds much older than it is, which threw me off a bit. High 2 Saved: In It For The Money, Sun Hits The Sky, Caught By The Fuzz
I know their name but couldn't name any tunes. I'd heard 'Sun Meets The Sky' before. They're alright, wasn't that bothered overall. 'Sex!' was funny AF though 😅. 2/5
long. some songs were pretty okay: late in the day, g-song, cheapskate, sometimes i make you sad, and the last track. the rest i didn't care about. 2.5.
its okay. not my cup of tea but i get why people would like it. its very british (not a bad thing) 2.5
Well, this is awkward. I feel like I should like this a lot better. It's basically pop classicism dressed up in late 90s attitude, meaning the vocals have a certain punk by way of grunge attitude, a certain snottiness. To be clear, I have nothing against that per se. Supergrass have clearly listened to a lot of music from the late 60s and early 70s and they've bothered to learn to play their instruments, and they're going for a relatively wide stylistic range, which theoretically already puts them way ahead of most of their contemporaries. And In It For The Money even sounds good, in terms of production--it's warm and balanced. But Supergrass doesn't have anything really new to say. They haven't figured out a way to make this music from the past truly their own. It's a pastiche without a point. None of the hooks or melodies really stick. It's pleasant enough going by, but I retained absolutely nothing. But at the same time, I'm reluctant to give this a poor rating. It's highly professional in terms of overall musicianship and production, and some real effort, thought and craft was put into it. It's obvious that these guys are playing and singing their hearts out. There is plenty of perspiration here but precious little inspiration. It's a shame, and really there's no one to blame, really. If you'd added in that X factor, In In For The Money might have truly been great.
In it for the money is ok single (80% is outro), but would I be sad if I had died without hearing it? No
This album is perfectly fine. A bit rock and roll, decent tunes, but an all time must hear classic? i don't think so. It reminds me of a slightly less rockin' You Am I. it was OK while I was listening to it, but I can't remember a single tune. And it really long. Much longer than it needs to be.
I have to say, I was born in the 90s didn't grow up in it really. I really don't care for a lot of the music from it. Especially this sort of alt-vaguely grunge sounding stuff. This one isn't nearly as bad as the others on this list, and it has its own almost folk sound. It's listenable for sure.
Listened Before? N Ah yes, 1990s Britpop/rock. Not my favorite. Pros: It's not unlisten-able, and I get the sense that if I listened to it several times I might even start to be okay with it. It's a bit trippy and acidy at times in a good way. Can see how the style influenced later American and British acts. Cons: Droning, repetitive, noisy, lyrics that are difficult to understand. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: Cheapskate (a little groovier than the rest)
While I listened to the television album first, this one sounds exactly like them except a little quicker paced. Still not impressed.
An ok alternative album. None of the songs are nearly as good as their main hit alright. This album was cohesive and felt stylistically the same but it wasn’t too exciting. 5.3/10
Muy flojo. Aparte de "Going Out" nada interesante. En la edición extendida hay una versión acústica de "Caught by the fuzz" y "Sitting up straight" pero poco más.
Schmutz! Schmutz! Schmutz! Schmutz! Schmutz! Schlecht gemischt, Genre: Radio. Menschen, die solche Musik hören, würden sich auch als Metal/Rock Fans bezeichnen, wenn man sie im Bierzelt danach fragt, nachdem Sie sich ne Mass Radler auf die Weste gespuckt haben. Ekelhaft. Sometimes I make you Sad???? YOU ALWAYS MAKE ME SAD mit so einem Vebrechen an meinem Ohr. 1* Weg damit
Britpop has never been my cup of tea as a rule, and this was really no different. I liked 'Wait for the Sun' the most, it was a bit more chill than the rest of the album's sound.
