In It For The Money

NO WAY THEY HAVE TWO SUPERGRASS ALBUMS ON THIS LIST. NOBODY FUCKS WITH THEM LIKE THAT?? i swear this list has so many questionable albums

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.

This was alright. Enjoyable but I don’t remember much of it.

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)

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).

Mediocre britpop.

Another group that I had never heard of before listening to this album. And yet again I was stunned by how much I liked this (probably even more than like this). There are some straight up rockers on this (Richard III) to some very weird and experimental sounding songs (Sometimes I Make You Sad). Great vocals and instrumentation in every song. I never imagined I'd give this a 5, but I certainly will. Favorite tracks: all of them!

My favourite Supergrass album and another entry into the '1997 was an all time great year for music' theory that I'll bash anyone over the head with given half a chance. I imagine Americans and/or youngsters will never have heard of them and maybe throw hands up in despair at the inclusion of yet another britpop album, but I still like this. Heavy Bowie influence of course along with the more 60s sound of Small Face and the Kinks etc. just as much of the very retrospective Britpop era bands were. But I always felt Supergrass, Suede, Super Furries and Pulp stood above the crowd as they brought much of their own character to the mix. Everything barrels along and it's still catchy as hell 25 years on. Rocks harder than the more rinky dink debut but still totally pop. All the songs are good, particularly love the opener and Richard III, also later Cheapskate and Hollow Little Reign. After the album, B-sides Odd? and Wait For the Sun are also recommended, as is the acoustic version of Fuzz.

5.0 out of 5. An absolutely stunning album. Still sounds fresh today. The songwriting and arrangements on every single track are top drawer. Everything seems so perfectly thought through and the whole album just flows together. An album of contrasts: ‘Richard III just bangs’, and ‘Late in the Day’ has an incredibly mellow vibe. It’s just so interestingly put together, with little brass sections, percussion arrangements, keyboard solos and guitar riffs popping up to change the dynamic of each song. An album to have in the background to brighten your day but also one that gets better when you have time to sit down and just absorb every detail.

Supergrass weren't the most popular band of the Britpop era, however they certainly recorded music that was some of the best of the decade. "In It For The Money" has aged well, and what a record this is. We have glam, rock, punk and pop and its as fresh today as it was in 97' when it was released. Now being a rocker at heart I dig that heavy intro to Richard III and Gaz hollering "woo" just before the things kicks in. It was this song that really made me sit up and take notice of Gaz and the boys. "Sun Hits The Sky" is probably the jewel in the crown of this remarkable record. A Britpop sing-along anthem with a glorious old school synth solo that isn't embarrassed to kick some ass, and that wonderful outro with the mad bongos, it has bloody everything. I've enjoyed revisiting this record a great deal, its a feel-good-cracker which is defo worth listening to.

Amazingly good, part of the soundtrack to life in the UK in the 90s. Richard III and Sun Hits the Sky are my favourites, but it's surprisingly consistent throughout.

I was excited to give another five stars these weeks, and behold, here they are! This album is very enjoyable from beginning to end. I didn't check the genres at first and thought that this was going to be folk or something but no! It's pure britpop and indie rock insanity, the good kind! It sounds like if a Beatles tribute band suddenly decided to play alternative music, and turned out better than it was expected! 4.6/5

Rocking, Grooving, influential.

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.

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!

Rock excelente e EXATAMENTE na vibe que eu tava precisando

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.

Pleasant surprise!

Amazing, I never really listened to supergrass but I'm definitely slowly becoming a fan

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"

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*.

Ohhhh riiiiight. "Late in the Day." I remember that one. This is another one of those bands that I'm positive must have been bigger in the UK than in the United States of Something Something. And that tracks. They've got a little bit of the Oasis thing going on. Probably some Stone Roses and Pulp. Maybe a little Blur and the Verve. A touch of Travis. A sliver of Spacehog. A growler of Gomez. (I'm just throwing out all the names I can think of here; not even positive all these bands are from the U.K.) I didn't mind it, but it doesn't rise to the rigorous level of 3 stars criteria that I hold my albums to. Also, please do not ask me to define that criteria in writing. It can't be done. Anybody else hear a little Smashing Pumpkins every now and then?

Wow what a fantastic album. I wish I had known about Supergrass years ago

Fantastic. Innovation, feel, attitude - what an album

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?

Brilliant album

Still sounds fresh, original and inventive. A flawless album.

Always loved it. Still sounds surprisingly innovative and fresh when put on. A little front-loaded but it's alright. Just a great album in every way, just falling short of a five. A great record.

This album had an intriguing sound, and definitely picked up right at the end. My favourite songs were Hollow Little Reign, Sometimes I Make You Sad, and You Can See Me.

Judging an album by the cover, the expectation here is that the listener is either treated to with a well done or cursed with a horribly produced backwoods amalgamation of noise. Au contraire, instead the album opens with a beautifully rhythmic rock and roll sound with "In It For The Money" the title track. The tone has been set, and this is very much a warm welcome. "Richard III" carries on the warm welcome with an energetic yet melodic offering. A few songs in, the inspirations start to come through, notably things that sound like something the Rolling Stones would do. More into the contemporary comparisons, there's a bit of Oasis as well. This album is a bit of a surprise because while these inspirations can be obvious, Supergrass maintains an identity to where the listener can believe they are listening to a contemporary rather than a type-cast-by-genre record label band designed to imitate. The album is a bit heavier than the aforementioned, but that may be to how their songs are mixed. The instruments are balanced nicely, the band has a beautiful grasp of melody and it plays so well. This is in somewhat of a contrast to their "I Should Coco" album (which received 4 stars) where it took a few listens to really narrow that score because of how long it took to become familiar. The band was a bit more diverse in their sound and music. This album on a single listen is markedly better even with a little better predictability, and more so for lack of a runaway hit single as recognizable as "Alright" from their previous release. The focus is split evenly on the album as a whole, without a mega hit to weigh against. Without that distraction, an objective listen is easier to do. This is a really solid album, and it is these now seemingly obscure finds that make 1001 such a great thing to experience. "It's Not Me" has a beautiful acoustic guitar, backed by sound effects reminiscent of Doctor Who, but with an anthemic near ballad-worthy chorus.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

4.5, this was dope. Really good britpoprock with some cool psychedelic elements sprinkled in

I can’t believe they would have made much money for this mid music.

A great example of mediocracy in music.

Sometimes they reminded me of the Beatles. Sometimes Oasis (so the Beatles). Sometimes they reminded me on Neon Trees. Vocally, the guy occasionally sounds like Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins. Nothing remarkable here. Good album.

I liked their other record, the one with the terrible album cover, better.

I was hoping this was bluegrass but I ended up liking it anyway

So I actually liked this album better than “I Should Coco” – so 2 albums by Supergrass of my first 50 – perhaps a bit much… There were 4 songs that I noted on this one that really stood out – “Late In The Day” “G-Song” “Cheapskate” “Hollow Little Reign” As those were the cream of the crop in my opinion, and all 4-stars or a bit better on my little 7-star song rating system… The rest of the tracks are fine, and maybe I appreciated this more – as 4 of my last 5 albums have been rap – and I’m not a rap guy… A solid 3 for me, and definite signs that this band was making some progress, as I gave “Coco” 2-stars…

Nr. 18/1001 In It For The Money 3/5 Richard III 2/5 Tonight 3/5 Late In The Day 3/5 G-Song 3/5 Sun Hits The Sky 3/5 Going Out 3/5 It's Not Me 3/5 Cheapskate 3/5 You Can See Me 3/5 Hollow Little Reign 2/5 Sometimes I Make You Sad 1/5 Average: 2,67 Last song was really bad. Otherwise everything was okay, but forgettable

I enjoyed this album, but do question if we need 2 super grass albums on the list if we already have I am coco. Don’t think we need this one, but for my personal taste this gets 3 stars

I agree with the top review here, enjoyable but completely forgettable. I don't think I remember anything in particular about it. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it.

Never heard of this. Listened to a few of thei most streamed tracks not on this album as preparation and I cannot say I'm too impressed. My expectations lay somewhere in the middle for this one, hope to be pleasantly surprised. In It For The Money Not sure about the production. Sounds kinda compressed. The guitars at the start are pretty cool, has a decent atmosphere. Evolves in a bit of a negative direction for me. Has this very stereotypical Britpop writing style in the chorus, which really comes across as stale and overdone. Average. 2.5/5 Richard III The bass tone is pretty good. The production style really isn't my cup of tea. Has some decent energy in the vocals. Can't say there's much to care about here. Decent outro. Average. 2.5/5 Tonight This sounds horrible. Hate the vocals at times. The horns are awkwardly implemented and sound toneless and overly sharp. Not great. 2/5 Late in the Day Why are the vocals so quiet? Bland guitar. The keys are so much louder than anything else. Boring vocals, lacking any character or depth. Bad. 1.5/5 G-Song Uninspired, boring, bland, uninteresting, monotone, soulless. Skip to 3.27 for the best part. Did not like. 2/5 Sun Hits The Sky Has a sliver of energy of some sort. Draaaaaags. Has the most unecessary instrumental break in history. The synth sounds goofy as all hell over this overblown, overpowering production. Hate how there's not any space anywhere in the mix. Pointless. 1.5/5 Going Out What a garbage vocal effect. That's the only notable thing about this song. The unlikable and whiny vocals somehow got more unlikable and whiny. Formulaic and repetitive. Like being blasted right in the ear with an airhorn. Annoying. 1/5 It's Not Me Actually has some interesting instrumentarion. The guitars ar pretty alright. I'll be generous to the vocals here. Think they work well with the lyrics. Average. 2.5/5 Cheapskate Has an actual groove to it. Simple but effective. The chorus isn't too bad either, has some power to it and feels fairly impactful. Decent. 3.5/5 You Can See Me Another alright instrumental. Has some depth to it with the switchup for the chorus. The instrumental post the second chorus is really fun, shows some great synergy within the band. Fine. 3/5 Hollow Little Reign Lacks some dynamism, feels like it's just repeating itself without really going anywhere. The solos don't cut it for me, they just don't have much impact as they feel sluggish and generic. Average. 2.5/5 Sometimes I Just Make You Sad Those grunts sound awful. Broken carnival ride type instrumental, doesn't help that it overpowers the vocals. Latin guitar is a cool inclusion I guess. Don't like the vocals yet again. Did not like. 2/5 Can't say I liked that very much. Absolutely hate their production style, and I don't care for their songwriting very much. Ends up being a boring, messy piece which generally just melds together into this uniform blob of blandness which rarely manages to either excite or impress. Britpop will never be my cup of tea, genuinely I cannot understand the appeal. Like most of their genre contemporaries they suffer from these aggressively nasally, whiny vocals that somehow are both too loud and too quiet at the same time. I will give them credit for their use of different instruments, their bass generally sounds pretty nice, and their use of horns and keys produce moments where they build upon their sound into something that's almost interesting. But those guitars, they just are so damn overpowering, and so obnoxiously loud at times that the other instruments don't really get a chance to shine. Pair that with many tracks leaving no space in the mix, and the aformentioned issues I had with the vocals you're left with a headache inducing 43 minutes. It's not the worst thing in the world. Generally being inoffensive, with specks of charm scattered throughout it, but in the end its issues become too much for me. 2/5 Fave Track. Cheapskate Least fave track. Going Out

I had never heard of this band and I can see why.

My review for Supergrass' 'I Should Coco' holds true for this one as well. However, 6 months of thinking has led me to another point I would like to raise: Supergrass? More like super ass.

The editor of this list was definitely a British teenager in the ‘90s because there is entirely too much Britpop on this. Like this is fine but not spectacular by any means. At least it was better than The Charlatans.

Super what now?

my fav ‘grass lp

1997. Britpop, power pop

Supergrass is one of those groups that I only knew for one song, in this case, "Grace" off the Lego Rock Band soundtrack. Lead vocalist Gaz Coombes and drummer Danny Goffey started out in a band called the Jennifers until they befriended bassist Mick Quinn, changed their name to Theodore Supergrass, and then shortened the name to Supergrass. They signed to Parlophone, released their debut album, I Should Coco, and saw quite the boom amidst the Britpop craze. In It for the Money is the group's followup, and man I was genuinely impressed by this album. Right from the get-go with the organ swell into the guitar arpeggios and Gaz Coombes's voice all crescendoing into the rocking title track, there's a lost of bombast and intricate songwriting going on. I was engaged all the way through, as the group run the gambit from rauckus jams such as "Richard III", "Tonight" and "Sun Hits the Sky", to gorgeous acoustic ballads such as "Late in the Day" and "It's Not Me", to outright stompers such as "G-Song", "Going Out", "Cheapskate" and closer "Sometimes I Make You Sad". Never once did I feel that Gaz's high-pitched voice come off as nasally or unintelliglible. Never once did I not enjoy a sonic shift that the group went for in the sort of experimental rock that harkened back to the Beatles without being an overt callback. Never once did I feel that this band come off as pretentious or snide in their song construction and delivery. These lads had genuine talent and a sheer commitment to their craft, with plenty of hooks and riffs to blow the house down. I don't know what else to say here. I was floored by this album, as it made me realize Supergrass are an underrated group in the larger pantheon of Britpop.

Love the music. The combinations of the sounds are lovely.

The cover absolutely fooled me and I was very pleasantly surprised by the proggy, arty, sunny vibes of this album. Appropriate for the sun finally coming out again now it's March :D

Growing up publicly is one of the most difficult things in life to do. With the world's gaze upon you, it often feels as though there is little room to turn your head. And yet, somehow, there are navigations to explore that makes movement possible. Supergrass did it superbly with In It for the Money. More refined and muscular than the gloriously boyish I Should Coco, the trio spread their wings and allow themselves to be seen as more than what met the eye. In a year where departures from the Britpop scene were voluminous and bountiful, Supergrass made sure that theirs were just as such and that they have to keep moving forward.

This is a very good album the whole way through and almost too up my alley

Amazing album. Enjoyed every track. Never knew much about Supergrass apart from Alright but will be checking out more.

Such a fun album. A very entertaining and unique take on brit-pop, which I'm also not very keen on. Refreshing and surprising complexity on each song. One of the better uses of additional brass/orchestral music as well. Each song radiates a passion from the band that is very evident, and very satisfying

Fav: Sun Hits The Sky Least Fav: Sometimes I Make You Sad Hope they made a lot of money off of this album

Some superb, cheeky indie rock that seemingly came out of left field. I defy anyone to not enjoy “caught by the fuzz”

Really good, not for everyone i suspect but this was right up my alley 9/10

reminds me of my teenage years - indie excellence

This album is amazing!! I never listened to Supergrass but I knew Sun hits the sky, what an amazing peace of art. This band has everything that Oasis doesn't have.

Very good, these guys know how to make great songs ;-)

Further testament as to why 1997 was such an incredible year for British albums. Loved this. Hadn’t listened to it in full before but knew the singles.

Catchy and melodic indie rock, fast paced kinda makes you want to be running down a busy crowded sidewalk. Some really great moments in this album, it was one of those pleasant surprises from this generator that make it worth putting up with 50 Dexys Midnights Runners albums scattered between 500 Elvis Costello Albums.

You can tell from the cover art that, although the self-mocking humour and wit is still there, they've moved on a bit. It's now underpinned by some darker shades, which I like . This is one of those albums where although I love pretty much everything here, some of the lesser known tracks have a depth that I only truly fully appreciate years later. Anyway, the unusual sound experiments are what make this album so damn good. Like the way an ominous diminished chord (played on a spooky Hammond organ) slowly builds up the opening title track before dawn explodes into vibrant daylight, that's inspired; or the haunting theremin solo on 'Richard III'; the spacey extended Moroccan jam on the tag of 'The Sun Hits The Sky'; the rolling piano and reflective instrumental passages of 'Hollow Little Reign'; or the crazy oompah percussion and freaking awesome acoustic guitar solo on the closing 'Sometimes I Make You Sad'. But ultimately the record retains the Supergrass trademark of economical catchy songwriting, soulful lead vocals, zany high harmonies, tight musicianship, dense guitars and well crafted arrangements. For me, this cracking album is their magnum opus.

Supergrass made a massive mistake in having a novelty hit with 'Alright.' That and the opportunism of the cover for 'Caught By the Fuzz' gave the impression they were a novelty band. They were not. They were up there with Britpop's finest. In places this album is a peer of what Blur were doing (Sometimes I make you sad) whilst Richard III rocks akin the Manics any day of the year. There is stil lquirky (Going Out and the title track) but, all in all, this is a fabulous record and a true pop gem which, in 1997, makes it pretty much unique.

Albumi #31, 28.08.2024 Klassikkoalbumi vuodelta 1996. Mielestäni Supergrassin paras levy ja muutenkin 90-luvun kohokohtia.

I know this one well, and love it.

This album cover looks like every busker on any corner in Asheville, NC. My 2nd Supergrass album on this list. It might be my favourite 90's Britpop album I've gotten so far. Makes me think I should relisten to the other one.

Somehow never heard any of this wonderful album before. Supergrass has a new fan. Every song was great except for the last one because I hated the ungh sound they were using for the bass line.

Really sold whole way through. I relistened to their debut and it’s better than I remember. This one wasn’t quite as good as debut but still a lot of fun Rating: 4.7

I find this much much better than their previous album I had. Strong songs throughout and great guitar work and catchy melodies and choruses

as a self identified britpop disliker and somebody who didn't like their first album on this list all that much, i was pretty amazed at how good and eclectic this is. basically every song is good, while covering a lot of territory but still coming together in a pretty cohesive and tight package. definitely one of the most pleasant surprises for me on this list!

Supergrass's second album, In It for the Money, marks a significant step forward in the band's musical maturity since their debut. Released in 1997, the album showcases a depth and complexity that sets it apart from much of the indie rock of its time. The band moves beyond the youthful exuberance of their first album, displaying a wider range of musical styles and more sophisticated songwriting. Tracks like Richard III and Late in the Day demonstrate their skill and ambition, blending catchy hooks with intricate arrangements. The album's production is polished yet retains the raw energy that Supergrass is known for, giving each song a distinctive edge. Gaz Coombes’ vocals are more nuanced and expressive, adding an emotional depth to the lyrics. The band experiments with different genres, incorporating elements of psychedelic rock, funk, and Britpop, which keeps the album engaging from start to finish. Songs like Sun Hits the Sky reveal a confident band unafraid to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories. The album balances upbeat tracks with introspective moments, showcasing the band's versatility and growth. Overall, In It for the Money is a standout release that solidifies Supergrass's place in the alternative rock scene and highlights their evolution as artists. NUMBER OF BANGERS - 9 STAND OUT TRACK - It's Not Me

There were a lot of albums like this in the late 90s but this was among the best.

Absolutely loved this. Always been a fan of this band. Love Gaz Coombes vocals. Brilliant music. Can't go wrong. Brilliant 👍

I didn't realized there was another Supergrass album on this list! I loved I Should CoCo and have listened to it a couple times since getting it a few months ago. I think I Should Coco is the stronger album, but I loved this, too. I love power pop.

Really enjoy the sound they make

How in the world do I not already love this band? Blur and Supergrass rank as my favorite finds from this endeavor to date. This album has just about everything I want from a pop/rock album. Great tunes, quirky ideas, great vocals, lyrics that will take a little while to figure out, never lost my interest or slumped — not easy to award a 5-star rating on the first listen, but I'm smitten.

Man I loved this so much! Never heard of this band before and I’ll be spinning this a lot.

Incredible AltRock album. So much soul and heart in the vocals and instrumentals. It feels very influential for a lot of my favorite artists. Standouts were In It For The Money, Tonight and You Can See Me

Original and sounds great!

OK I'm not a huge fan of the whole Brit-pop thing, I do still struggle with, what I now perceive as the dumbing down of British creativity and its subsequent surge in popularity. However nothing is that simple, the whole thing was a weird transitional phase for me which I found annoying at the time. More on this subject when certain bands/albums which irked me at the time will surely appear. Supergrass, back then I thought they were fronted by a weird looking monkey man, which was refreshing in itself! I didn't mind their debut, but this was a much more polished, accomplished affair. I don't think there is a bad track on this LP. 'Late in the Day' is probably my favourite Supergrass song, the other singles are quality too. No fillers. A high 4 or low 5.

Got a new banger out of this one so max points for that

I put off listening to this one all day because I had a notion that it wouldn’t be all that interesting to me. Well, I was wrong. I really liked it. Had it not been such a pleasant surprise, then maybe it was a 4 for me, but…

I don't know why these guys make me think of the beach --- they look pretty chilly on the cover --- but they totally do. My notes about I Should Coco mention summer. And In It for the Money gave me loads of sunshiny feelings. Maybe there's something about them that reminds me of California bands like The Dickies and Redd Kross and Jellyfish. Anyway, I love their sparkly tunes and melodious vocals. I was uplifted!

The first Supergrass album was great. This one is great too! A terrific collection of fun poppy-punky confections I could eat all day!

Good album britpop still a amazing era

Super fun classic altrock britpop

10/10 - I don’t know why I was skeptical of getting into Supergrass every album literally blows me away, reducing me to atoms

Fantastic, hits all the right notes and just brilliant stuff

good guitar sound at first songs

Had I discovered Supergrass when I was younger, I undoubtedly would have been a fan.

I had never even heard of this band before, but this album is incredible. Impeccable riffs, vocal hooks, gorgeous song structures... this is why I use this site, man.

No notes. 5/5
