I thought the second half of the album was so much better than the first

Another one that’s ok but not really grabbing me or standing out.

Jees brittirokkia. Joistain kappaleista tulee tietenkin sit Oasis vähän mieleen. Pidempi levy, mutta kappaleet on monipuolisia ja vaihtelevia niin ei yhtään paha kuunneltava. Parhaat: Sitting Up Straight, G-Song, Wait For The Sun

It was okay. Surprised to see it on this list.

Kind of fun!

Never heard of these guys... I expected it to be bluegrass, but it is definitely not, it sounds like 90s alternative rock, the vocals remind me a little bit of Billy Corgan when he yells. I guess it's technically britpop? In the same vein as Oasis, I don't hate it, definitely some solid songs, but I don't love it.

Meh. 3/5

I lived in Oxford at the time they got big and you would see them in pubs and kebab shops a lot. Nice guys but this does not deserve to be on the list. It’s good but not as good as the debut and it makes no sense at all for it to be here

Yeah, I remember Supergrass. They were fine. They still are. Fine. I read the justifications for being on the list from NME and Q, but I still don’t get it. This is fine, but not something I needed to hear before I could hear nought but the angels’ singing.

3 из 5. Бодренький рок альбом, мне в целом такое нравится, но на постоянке его слушать как то не очень. Какой-то никелодион

Not bad, not great.

Big fan of Supergrass! Not the album I would have picked but nice to hear this again after so many years. Amazing singles, some forgettable deep cuts though

One of those bands where I've enjoyed every single but never listened to a whole album. Glad to rectify that. Need a few more listens to gauge how much I like it. Feels like a grower.

Loved the guitar solos

close to 4 star, but not quite. my type of music but not the best of its genre. will want to listen to more albums from then, since i was only familiar with singles before

the 90s, what a time. enjoyed this but not at all convinced it's an album you need to listen to before you die

This is the second Supergrass album I've reviewed on this generator. These guys are your typical 90's alt rock/britpop fare, similar to Oasis, The Verve, or The Strokes. This wasn't a bad album, but I could have done without the second disc which was loaded with B-Sides from their first album, I Should Coco, as well as a few from this album. This second disc really drug the rest of the album as a whole down, because none of the songs on the second disc were anything spectacular, and all it did was make the playtime on this record about 30 mins too long. My rating for just the first disc would be a 4, but because of this shitty second disc, it drops to a 2.5 - 3. Favourite songs: G-Song, Sex!, Sitting Up Straight, Sun Hits The Sky, In It For The Money, Going Out, Richard III Least favourite songs: Caught By The Fuzz, It's Not Me 3/5

Here’s hoping they made a lot of money.

Britpop, what else is there to say. It's not offensive, but not very good either.

Some 4-star songs. Lots of 3-star songs. 3.25 seems about right.

Once I got past the Billy Corgan-esque vocals I could find some grooves to enjoy. It kept teetering into a four star album for me, but something was holding it back. Side note: doesn’t that one song sound a lot like Danny California by the RHCP?

I thought In It For The Money took a while to get going, but hits its stride in the middle of the album and turns out to be decent. Sun Hits The Sky is where it kicks into gear, Going Out is my favourite of the lot, it's not remarkable but it's better than some of the other 90s Britpop stuff we've been served, gets a 3.

Liked this a lot more than the other Supergrass album we had - doesn't have a standout single really, but it's decent all the way through. A good trip back to the 90s, still sounds relatively fresh compared to plenty of the other stuff we've had/ A solid 3/5.

Pretty decent. Very British sounding of that era. I didn't recognize any songs but I still enjoyed the album.

This is fine brit rock! I didn't hear anything amazing, although it didn't sound SUPER 90's so points for that??

Didn't hate it, didn't love it 3/5

Not too bad.

I liked the energy of this. The vocals and music were interesting too. Overall, I liked this. Probably close to a 3.5.

It's fine. Musical is good. Just not working for me.

Not what I was expecting at all, it was solid

It was fine. 3.

# Playlist track - Sun Hits The Sky # Notes - Listened to this a couple of times to make sure. Not once I caught myself wanting to learn more, or add a track to my playlists. - It's a fine album, sure. It's also not memorable. - Interesting how many people praise this in terms of life in the UK. That might make sense. But honestly, it's not a great album for folks literally everywhere else.

surprised i've never heard this one but there's a pretty interesting mix of sounds and influences on it but nothing really groundbreaking

Hadn't been exposed to these guys - looks and sounds very British. Nice sound, though. Better than Oasis... ;)

Highlights:Tonight, G-Song, Sun hits the sky, Going out, You can see me -I really like the use of trumpets on some of the songs -I like how experimental the album is -The vocal effects give the album a somewhat eerie feel, which can be really hit or miss -The drumming is very cool -A little above average album I would say, doesn't really have anything to make it REALLY stand out Rating:6/10

skemmtilegt. aðra umferð. 3,5.

Album with ups and downs. Won't go there again

Has its moments

They annoy me for some reason

Not bad.. just not geat for me.

ein paar schöne Sachen dabei

Enjoyable but not great. Except for Sun Hits The Sky, which is.

2nd supergrass album???? We’re they so influential to the canon of music??? FFS a double album at that!

kannski grofur a fyrri supergrass domnum en þetta er allt i lagi

More hits that I remembered. Great album with a lot of variety and great production.

Don’t have much to say about it honestly apart from it being a pleasant listen with two great songs. Loved the title track and Richard III, the rest blended together as the album went on.

I think this is a good britpop album, though britpop is not my prefered genre. I don't like the closer, but pretty much like the rest. 3.5 stars

Good, but I don't think it's anything I haven't heard done better elsewhere. "Richard III" and "Cheapskate" are probably my favorites. Feels like a 3.5. Enjoyable, but probably nothing I'd ever go back to.

Pretty solid album, plenty of decent tunes and lush textures and arrangements. The title track makes for a quite an epic opener until it just ends abruptly. Sun Hits The Sky and Richard III stand out as the most supreme songs in terms of catchiness and quality and there are a couple more that nearly match it but there isn’t quite a heavy hitter that I can put alongside Alright or Moving as true classics. Lots of cool synthy tones that weave well with the music but overall this bunch of songs just aren’t the most compelling. Circusy closer Sometimes I Make You Sad is kinda crappy. Album art is excellent.

Mediocre Britpop. Okay as background noice in a pub.

Me fait beaucoup penser à Oasis. La guitare est souvent mise de l'avant. OK

Very strange. Sometimes good. Sometimes bad. The last song was awful clown music. Its like if you took a bunch of genres and artists and mashed them together like potatoes. 5/10

Feel like I've been giving out a lot of 3s lately, but there have just been a lot of albums that have come up that I'm indifferent to. I don't hate this, but I don't think it's particularly special either. I probably could have died without having heard it, but it wasn't like my morning was miserable because I was listening to it. I'd probably leave it on if it came up again on Spotify.

sounds like what i thought being a teenager would be when i was a kid

It was just music playing. Vanilla Not really interesting, not really bad, not really good. Giving them a 3-star review only because they had an upright bass, and I like the word Supergrass. Wish I could still smoke it.

Britpop that owes quite a bit to the Kinks and Bowie. Pleasant.

It's not terrible, I'm a fan of certain brit-bands, but it just feels like they aren't doing anything new? Oasis tapped into a certain type of arena rock that was loud but also interesting and Blur interrogated class culture in a very specific way, but this feels like a pastiche of the Beatles filtered through the most banal parts of the 90's. I wouldn't turn it off if it was on the radio, but I'm definitely not seeking this out.

Started good but didn't keep up. The last song was awful

My first listen to this group. Fun, enjoyable listen. Not sure it was groundbreaking, but I’m glad to know about them.

I have a few of Supergrass' later albums, I prefer those Artist #802

Decent music, the variety of instruments and tempo was easy listening. Still not sure this is good enough to need to hear before I die though.

I could not always understand the lyrics but the songs were pretty good

I feel like “I Should Coco” and “In It For The Money” are out of order. “IIFTM” came out in 1997, but it sounds like a mid-90s Britpop album, looking backwards but at least being pretty tolerable for the genre. “I Should Coco” came out in 1995, but sounds forward-looking, almost a preview of the garage rock revival of the early 00s.

Richard III is a total banger. I find supergrass have a few bangers but largely just filler. Never really grabbed my attention 3.0

I don't know how memorable this album was and I don't think any song will stick with me but I enjoyed listening my way through this. 3.5/5

This didn't sound particularly special to me.

First disc was pretty enjoyable - good hooks and good energy - second disc is fairly awful...

Could not be more British. 3.5/5

Not as great as Coco, but interesting enough. 3/5

Enjoyed it

decent 3. i dunno maybe im just cooked like sometimes the shit just dont hit crazy. like it just dont hit like BOOM OH SHITT but like the music is good like its chill like ya know. i like the overall vibes but i dunno how to put it into words. i messed with that opener heavy tho. like also i think theres such a clear clear theme of what i gravitate to in these albums. its like the reduced slower burning songs and/or songs with a lot of elements being thrown around. i duno 1 in it for the money 2 its not me 3 you can see me

Thoughts before listening: More British alt rock. I do like what I've heard from Supergrass, and the few songs that made it on US college rock radio stations back in the day are really good. I'm interested to hear a full album. Review: Seems like all the songs I know from this band were on their debut album. I don't recognize any of these, but that doesn't mean its bad. They write some catchy songs with nice melodies that are played at a fast, almost punk pace. These are all things I enjoy in music. My favorite songs here are "Richard III", "Sun Hits the Sky", and "Cheapskate". 3-stars

In it for the money - cool intro, I like the horns I lost interest most of the way through, nothing super special Good enough to listen to but I wouldn't seek it out

A british rock band that I hadn't heard of before and will promptly forget, this list has lot's of albums like this. All I can say is that I heard some music.

Solid 90's alternative rock. There was nothing bad on this album, but I listened to it a few times through and nothing sunk its teeth into me. I am struggling to recall a single song this morning. I wouldn't complain if this album was playing, but I am probably not going to be seeking it out.

Verrassend enjoyable. Echt paar goeie nummers erop, ik kende ze alleen van die ene hit (en ik denk als je buiten de UK geboren bent jij ook), maar voor een van de 996 britpop albums op deze lijst is dit wel een van de betere. Twijfel tussen 3 en 4 maar ik ga toch voor 3 want de kans dat ik dit opnieuw ga luisteren is vrij klein.

Prefer I should Coco but not bad.

It was alright, found it pretty unremarkable - definitely didn't need a 2nd part.

loved the title track but by the end of the record, I was pretty over it lol.

This is the type of music I like in small doses. I don't know why but I love one or two songs by a group like this but then the similar type of sound just gets to me. I really liked Richard III and It's Not Me

I get a mix of Strokes and Smashing Pumpkins vibes from them. Super fun rock music, but it went on too long. I feel like they could’ve edited this into a one disc album. I was excited about it at first but then got annoyed because it wouldn’t end. Enjoyed their overall sound though.

This was good. And I am going to add it.

Listened to it twice. Some good songs but alltogether it's just a 3 for me.

Never heard of this before. Not too bad. Not too good 2.5

Pretty nice alt rock album. Sun Hits the Sky and Cheapskate are good songs.

Nohing bad about it, but I'm not sure why it's on this list. This writer seems to be obsessed with 90s British alternative bands and it seems forced.

I really like Late in the day and Sun hits the sky

Probably more like 3.5

I almost like Late in the Day, G-Song, Hollow Little Reign

Damn, 12 year old me would have adored this! It fills that preteen desire for grunge-esque, angsty sounds, while adding something new because they’re not from Seattle. At the same time, a lot of this sounds like an oil and vinegar cocktail of Oasis and The Smashing Pumpkins, which is pleasant to my ears, but also, why am I not just listening to either Oasis or, preferably, The Smashing Pumpkins? I don’t dislike this at all, and there’s nothing bad here, but the longer this went on, the more derivative it felt. Still good, but definitely not essential, and I should’ve assumed that based on the fact that I had never heard of this album before even though I had heard of their debut a million times.

Not bad, but not that good either. Was decent to listen too, but nothing really jumped out. 3/5 Might listen again

Never heard of them before. Though nothing really stuck out for me, I do dig the use of a stand up bass. Precursor to The Happy Fits?

Pretty good, seems a little ahead of its time, but listening now makes it less "shiny" than it would have been back then.

first listen good sound, little too consistent

Decent. Would listen again

I liked this well enough, but it didn't make me feel like I've been missing anything. I have heard of them, but never really took the time to jump into an album. It seemed like a lot of the songs run together at times, which is fine, but I was surprised when I checked and I was already on the second album. Better than some 3 star albums, but it doesn't have anything that carries it like you would expect from a 4 star + album. I wish 3.5 was an option.

Good, not great album. A good example of late Brit-pop

NEVER heard of these guys before, and WOW I REALLY LIKE THIS, A LOT! it's weird and varied enough to really perk up my ears and make me feel good in all the corners of my weirdness. 3 stars for a happy surprise! I'll check more of their albums!

It was ok. Lacked the charm of their first album but I might go back and give it another try.

Wacky but quite fun

Was really enjoying the first half of this album, but I think it got a little stale in the second half. Still it had some fun songs. Fav songs: - In It For the Money - Richard III - Sun Hits the Sky

ANOTHER supergrass album... I mean they were quite big in the 90s but come on! This is better than the debut. Great deep sound, but as with so many of these albums it runs out of steam towards the end

Not awful. Not bad. Passed me by at the time. Not a must listen. 2.5

I always enjoyed whatever Supergrass brought to the (turn)table. And this album is never boring. Richard III (one of my father’s favourite pieces of rhyming slang) stands out - takes no prisoners. There are so many times when the synth sound here reminds me of mid-70’s Rick Wakeman, especially during Sun Hits The Sky & Late In The Day. There’s some great guitar (G-Song is a good example), including a lot of wah-wah (listen to Hollow Little Reign & It’s Not Me). The latter also features classy harmonies, as opposed to the grunting, which substitutes for drums on Sometimes I Make You Sad. Tonight begins a bit like a Quo song; Late In The Day opens with acoustic guitar similar to Bowie’s Space Oddity; & Cheapskate’s rhythm track is very similar to Gloria by (Van Morrison’s Them). A really good listen.

Fairly catchy brit-pop. Kind of long. It's not super repetitive but it's also not super memorable.

Thought I’d like this more than I did, but wasn’t as good as any of the Supergrass songs I already knew. Simpsons: No

I liked the sound of it, yet at the same time all of the songs were quite forgettable. I've definitely scored worse albums with a 3, but can't justify a 4 for this.

It was ok, but I was expecting it to be better. Also didn't have my favourite supergrass song on so that also made me sad

Not Bad

Richard III has to be one of my fabou Songs of all time. And the album itself is ace but there are still a few of those teenage numbers in here that didn’t even do it for me when I was a teenager so it’s far from perfect. Still, a great listen.

Better than average but couldn’t hold my interest

It wasn't bad but honestly I can't remember a single moment from when I listened to this one. I liked their first album but this one wasn't as engaging to me today Maybe someday I'll give it another chance

I wasn't really into Supergrass back in the 90s. I mean, I didn't dislike them and a couple of the tracks were pretty good. Listening back to this now for the first time in 25 years, I find myself feeling slightly more generous to them. Compared to their contemporaries, they're actually a fair bit better. The music fits together more cohesively, but it is very hard to escape from them being a 90s band. Ultimately the "samey" approach of being lead, bass, drums and occasional keyboards or synths does the listener a disservice, and while lots of these tracks make me sit up and think "Oh yeah, I remember this!" the fact I actually haven't listened to it in 25 years should tell you everything you need to know.

This is a pretty solid album, but didn't wow me too much. None of the songs really tickled me, but they have a good sound for sure.

I liked this! Retro vibes. I would have guessed it’s older than the 90s.

Didn't wow me but wasn't awful - 3 stars

Grungy and loud, it sounds surprisingly fresh for a britpop album.

A little Pink Floyd, a little Green Day, a little Oasis

A little shocked to see Supergrass in the list but it's a solid album.

Like this, fun album to have on in the background

I read the reviews so I was excited to listen and nothing stood out. I'll listen another time and see if I feel different, it could have been the day.

This feels more consistent overall than I Should Coco, but not the same highs either. Solid 3.5 I think.

Not as good as I Should Coco but 5 or so great songs.

I liked it but wouldn't necessarily relisten 3.3

It’s the first artist that I hadn’t heard before on this list that I would actually listen to again. The music was good.

Richard III Sun Hits The Sky

I’d say this one has some potential. I’d give it a 3.5

Nice enough. Not majorly anything.

Good rock

No songs downloaded.

Interesting and fun album.

Not too keen on this album but I know I need to try some other albums by supergrass

Creative songwriting and good performances Not likely to repeat listen

3/5. The album started off strong, but lost me near the middle. By themselves, the songs are pretty fun and would work well in a playlist but back to back feels too overpowering with the fuzz and hazy atmosphere. There are some great ones on here like Sun Hits The Sky and Hollow Little Reign but didn't vibe with this one as much as other britpop albums.

5/10. Clown-core tripe

this seems like something I would have at least listened to once back in the day, but this is the first time hearing them. Maybe I got my fill of this sub-genre from "Hot Hot Heat" instead? Either way, 3 stars.

I always forget supergrass exists. Now I remember why. It's never really landed with me. I don't dislike it by any means, and I wouldnt skip a good bit of their stuff if it came on, but I'm also not really going to seek most of it out

Inoffensive and forgettable.

This wasn't doing it for me until I got to the horn section on Tonight, which got me in a better frame of mind for the rest of it. Still weird to think of this kind of pop as a must-listen in any way, unless you experienced it at the time and are nostalgic for it. I can imagine driving around with my friends as a teenager with this burned on a CD. It didn't actually happen for me with this album, but it's a solid vibe.

So much energy, so inventive and engaging, and so much WORK! It strikes me as a Not Lazy Album. They really went 110%. Despite this… I didn’t really love it! I was kind of annoyed most of the album. Maybe it’s too much caffeine, too early in the morning. I’m pretty impressed overall, but it feels a little fatiguing after listening for the full 43 minutes. A blast of energy that’s a little too much or too sustained. I LOVED “it’s not me.” Those America chords that melt into some psychedelic changes. That’s a highlight— that and the first track. Not gonna lie, I thought this would be a 5 star album when I started! But it started to kind of wear on me after a few listens, however. Too peppy for too long? Well hey, this is my subjective list. It’s not Billboard or NME over here. So I get to give this phenomenal album a 3 because it’s my reviews my rules. 3/5

I had never listened to them before. I like the album. Would listen again.

First Part: Some of these songs are alright ("Sometimes I Make You Sad", "Sitting Up Straight.") Unfortunately, most are forgettable Mid-to-Late-Nineties-Beatles-Loving-Brit-Pop/Rock. They are probably a very good live band, though (just guessing.) Not sure it needs to be on this list and it certainly didn't need to be a double album. Second Part: Hey! This is pretty good! Just throw the first disc away and listen to the second one.

Everything about this album screams Doug and that’s not a bad thing

Moments on the verge of being very good, but ultimately just OK

Van continuar amb la inspiració del seu primer 'I Should Coco'. Aquí no hi havia hits tan imbatibles com 'Alright' o 'Caught by the Fuzz', però el conjunt de temes és igualment vigorós i potent. Brit pop en un dels seus millors moments, produït per una de les seves bandes més reivindicables

Solid album. Great rock band. Excellent vocals, and musicality. I didn’t know about this band, I am now a fan. Would probably give a 3.5 if that was available.

So many styles and influences, no three songs sounded like the same genre. Liked enough more than I disliked to get the nudge over the 2/3 line.

Sometimes I think that the editors of this book/list had genre and decade quotas to fill and just put some albums on it due to popularity. This isnt a bad album, but only an algorithm or AI would have chosen it as an album that anyone should hear before they die. 3/5

In It For The Money // Late In The Day //

This reminded me of Oasis, which I guess makes sense given the time, location, and genre. It was fine.

I really liked the riffs in Sun Hits The Sky (both guitar and synth). I don't like the grunts in the last song Sometimes I Make You Sad. The rest of the album is pretty good. It has some nice riffs.

Está bien

No real comments, it was pleasant enough to listen to, but for some reason I thought they were an American band.

Well, that's another band that appears to have used What Three Words to get their track names. That said it's not bad, not bad at all. Several tracks that made me stop and go "ooh what's this?" Sun hits sky and Hollow little rein (WTW) for two and the last track too. Some tracks seemed to be spoilt by the vocals, some wouldn't have worked without. On the whole yeah I liked it. Not quite enough for a 4, but a very high 3.

Not bad, but not as good as the first album.

My head bobbed a couple of times during this listen but, in general, nothing grabbed me from this album. Not good. Not bad. Not memorable.

British classic rock. Some of it is pretty fast paced, and some of it is pretty slow. Not especially interesting, but some cool riffs from time to time.

Bloated. Felt like a lot of the songs could've been B-Sides.

Not bad, better than most of the britpop from the same time period.

was diffferent but liked it.

It’s like fine to listen to but super forgettable. It’s a rock album that I was constantly forgetting I was supposed to be listening to. It was just there in the background.

Interesting album. Feels like a mixture of Muse, Smashing Pumpkins, and jam band. Musically intriguing, but nothing that overly grabs your attention.

(Only listened to original album, not bonus tracks) Interesting to go back to this - saw them play a lot in the 90s, and they're great live. But haven't relistened to this as much as their debut. This is less poppy, a heavier, maybe more interesting sound. Some good songs too, but I miss the fun of Caught By The Fuzz etc. 3.5, brought back some good memories of the 90s Oxford indie scene...

Classic hard rock sound

tooo much for a gloomy day LOLLL. I like the instrumental parts

Another long album - decent sounding. Didn't give it a super thorough listen though

Yh good album some great hits

When I read that this was supposed to be "more fun than watching a wombat in a washing machine" (according to NME, which should have been my first warning), my expectations were perhaps set unreasonably high. It's some decent '90s Britpop. I liked it enough. It was not especially memorable for me, though.

This album still had the fun energy brings but I felt myself not being too into this album compared to, I Should Coco. No real standout songs for me but I’m glad I listened to it nonetheless.

Supergrass is completely new to me, but at first glance, I love the cover. This album is so. very. 90's. My favorite track is "Going Out." Probably the most highly produced song on the album, with horns as a bonus feature, it also contains a refreshing key change in the middle.

Classic 90s rock

This is fine, add it to the listen to again someday pile

Remember Britpop? Remember when that was a thing? At least, unlike Oasis, these guys are really bouncy and energetic. It sounds like they were really happy to record this album. But I don't see what's particularly notable about this one.

For fans of: Beatles, Oasis, Kaiser Chiefs etc. Where are the female artists on this list?

I feel like I should like this much more than I do...

Sex! Is such a wonderfully weird and graphic song

Interesting rock. Nothing stood out as amazing but nothing bad either.

Have I heard of this band before? None of these songs sounded familiar. It was pretty average to me on first listen. Best track: Probably Sun Hits the Sky.

уфф много вопросов зачем и почему. В целом приятно,но сильно хзз

The album starts out a little flat/monotone. However, it picks up on the song Tonight where the band starts to mix in some jazz elements and more engaging guitar riffs. The album picks up in pace in the middle. I thoroughly enjoyed the solo on Sun Hits the Sky. There were moments that really bored me and moments that brought me back in to being interested. None of the album was truly outstanding or unique to me but it wasn't a complete slog either.

Het album begon wel lekker maar daarna verloor ik de interesse een beetje. Ik heb geen leuke anekdotes, scheve vergelijkingen of gemene sneren hier bij.

kinda annoying lol but some cool bits

Un gran álbum de rock noventero. El talento de los miembros de Supergrass es innegable, ya que a pesar de su corta edad realizan interpretaciones sumamente complejas y llamativas. De todas formas, no creo que sea un indispensable del catálogo musical de esta lista.

Even album with an overall good sound.

This album starts out really strong, but I think there are a couple of lackluster songs towards the end that harm this album’s rating. Overall, though, these guys have a slightly glammy, irreverent sensibility that sets them apart and they have great hooks for sure. This is a really enjoyable album.

- Heard a few Supergrass songs before but never a full album - Thought I would enjoy it and did - Nothing groundbreaking but still worthy of being on the list - Fav songs: Richard III, Late in the Day, Sun Hits the Sky

it was okay

70/100

liked this more than the debut, didn't feel particularly essential or anything though

Maybe three good songs? Not terrible

Not bad, but not great. There are some interesting moments here and there, but they never quite coalesce.

Eh fine but feels run of the mill brit-pub-rock sound.

Fan of Supergrass but this album was never a good one for me, the only song I liked was 'Sun Hits The Sky'

It was alright, listenable.An unremarkable 3*

It wasalright

Not their best but a solid addition.

I really enjoyed listening to this record. I only knew a couple of songs from Supergrass, but none from this record. There are a few really good songs and a slew of really decent ones. Not enough 4-star songs to give the record 4 stars, but it's very good.

I thought this record opened strong, and I didn't hate it... but I was pretty bored of the sound by the end. It kinda felt like the same thing over and over again. There were enough twists and turns to make it worthwhile but it wasn't fantastic. I think my review is also coloured by prior knowledge of the work that came right after this, (Supergrass, Road To Rouen, Diamond Hoo Ha) which I actually know and like quite a bit, esp Road To Rouen.

I really dug this. Cool vibe. I vaguely remember this band being talked about when I was in high school, but I never bothered to check them out. Now I wish I would have. I'll come back to this one. G-Song was the stand out track for me.

In the middle for me, good rock

Supergrass is certainly more enjoyable than a lot of Britpop. Although that's not saying a huge amount

Good, energetic, but nothing more

Enjoyable brit-/ alt-rock that’s a bit more adventurous than contemporaries such as, say, Oasis. Also what the hell was the last track?? I want more of that

I'm a big fan of Supergrass' Life on Other Planets. Haven't listened to them much outside of that. Also, weird that this is the second album in the last few days with 'In it for the money' in the title. Coincidence? Yes. But still. So anyway - this is fine. Good energy, nice production. But nothing that grabbed me. Why is it I put everything into those terms? Why do I want everything to grab me?

Be warned! The Spotify version is the sprawling double CD release, which perhaps has the effect of diluting the album's experience. Yet when I listened to the original 43min version, I'm still left a little underwhelmed. Is producing decent indie rock passporting criteria enough to appear on this list? There are a few signs of stylistic invention here and there, and the songwriting is solid. 'Hollow Little Reign' is legitimately great. One of the tracks features a nice brass arrangement, kinda aiming for what the Stones were doing on Sticky Fingers. Sticky Fingers this ain't, though. Average.

Pretty good stuff. Nothing earth shattering but was a good feeling album.

I wonder if in the future people will listen to Ed Sheeran or Taylor Swift and think; wow this is so good, it's so indicative of the genre as it was at the time and you simply can't go wrong! That's kinda how I feel about Supergrass' music. It's not exactly overtly special - although they have some interesting instruments in places - it's just very rock rock music and that's why I like it! *spins and bops head to the tunes* Actually their bass player also fucking slays on every single track, I kinda forgot about that, I'm starting to feel that my feelings on this album can be in many ways applied to a lot of rock music... Also this album is a lot more interesting than the other supergrass albums I've heard that are a lot more simple/cut back.

Good british pop/rock. Have a nice variation to the sound which was a little Blur at times and a little Arctic Monkeys on other tracks.

Some solid writing will listen again

Solid writing, needs a relisten

As Suede but less dramatic

late in the day 3.5/5

Could have been a 5 if the mixing was done right, this was a frustrating album to listen to

It’s a polished strong album and I have a liking for Supergrass - but this record although sounding gorgeous kind of is a bit flat and unexciting - I tried multiple times listening to it in different moods but it didn’t stick.

This album was a trip. Def some points I wasn't sure about, but also plenty of highs. I wish they used some more of their weird sounds in more of their songs. Not bad. Not great. This is a legit 3 for me.

I liked the overall sound here, but the album got repetitive by the end.

It was alright, I think it gets lost in the mix of late 90s alternative, nothing really stood out to me

Enjoyed

Not really my thing. The beatles already did it.

nice songs, but sometimes not in my taste( added to playlist: 4 songs 6.5/10

Es un buen rock and roll. Arranco feíto pero después saqué temazos, Me gustaron varios temas.

The second best Supergrass album - anyone who tries to argue against the beautiful immediacy of I Should Coco is wrong! It's a good album with some fun songs, but Late in the Day aside, nothing heart stopping.

не, не поняла

Not bad, had some good beat to it but generally not that inspiring.

Anyone who saw the sideburns I was rocking in the late 90’s will attest how much I loved Supergrass so I was delighted when this came up. And this is a brilliant album - probably the best “Brit pop” album - up to a point And that point is Going Out The first half of the album is so great. Brilliant songs the lot of them, but especially Richard III and Sun Hits The Sky Then post Going Out it disappears off a cliff. The songs become workmanlike at best, outright annoying at worst So frustrating

It was alright, I guess. Got kind of bored.

Pretty good album, I really liked Late in the Day and of course Caught By the Fuzz is a classic. I would Listen to some songs again, cheers.

Ok, this was pretty alright. Not fully my cup of tea but good and not annoying.

This album is a bit aimless stylistically, sort of a throw everything at the wall approach. That said, there are some really delightful, rough-edged pop gems on here. Some of that gets lost in the mix, but there's a lot to enjoy here. Fave Songs: You Can See Me, Hollow Little Reign, It's Not Me, Cheapskate, Going Out, Late in the Day

Another Supergrass album?? I mean it was alright, but if I had died before hearing this I would have had no regrets.

Flying in Piero’s plane.

Not bad but a bit generic and a lot to sit through

Supergrass continues its run as also-rans in the battle for Britpop supremacy.

Highlights: "In It for the Money," "Richard III," "It's Not Me," "Caught by the Fuzz," "Wait for the Sun" For American listeners, this could be a good find, overshadowed by overrated contemporaries. This album is pretty late to retro British pop, and it might lean on The Beatles more heavily than any other of the scene, but what makes it notable is its varied and surprising harmony, confusing and catchy at the same time. Their vocals and guitar tend to be harder than their peers, similar to Smashing Pumpkins but more melodic, which makes them a better fit among the emo and blues retro of the next decade's pop rock. It is overlong, and it doesn't cohere as an album. The hodgepodge tone of the sequence does help break up the excessive runtime, but not all 21 songs are worthwhile. It's not as though Oasis or Blur were serious or mature lyricists, and all Britpop acts can be grating, but Supergrass gives in to some exceptionally tedious lowbrow moments that hold them back from the gravitas that people attribute to their contemporary Radiohead, despite having equally interesting highlights.

Damn, koffor e Sun Hits The Sky så nostalgisk? Ser ut som at den va med i Rock Band 2 som DLC, men tvile på at eg har spilt den der??? Ellers overraskande ok album

Hidden gem I never knew about. Although I do know they’re one popular song Alright. Album is good. Found some songs I like.

- Great intro for the album - In the end it feels like too long :(

Wow 2 volumes, 21 tracks. Must be good. Good start. Influences I can imagine they have: Pink Floyd, The Beach Boys, The Smashing Pumpkins -Based on track 1, it sounds like they're a mixture of The Beach Boys and Pink Floyd. Plenty of fuzz and character. -Tonight: i love how tight and fuzzy the guitars are without sounding "lo-fi". they feel well recorded and high quality, created to sound this specific way. It feels both big like a band on a stage - including horns - and also a bit garage-y. Smashing Pumpkins seem like an influence too.

Good album that goes on way too long.

Not too bad. Wasn’t familiar with Supergrass outside of their main song. Can’t say I’ll hunt any of their other music out but it’s was an easy listen.

Enjoyed discovering a bit more of Supergrass. Some of it was a bit middling, a 3.5 from me.

It was good. The hooks were catchy and the instrumentals dynamic enough to hold my attention mostly. Sometimes it got too similar and became repetitive though. There was nothing out right offensive, however there was nothing super phenomenal either.

Heavier than I was expecting (which was a pleasant surprise), but not really a style I enjoy

A funny album, very nineties britpop, but more uptempo than average

A good time in sound

It's alright!

I'm already a little daunted seeing it's 21 songs by a band I'm not Super familiar with. The use of the typeface Cooper Black on this cover where they're busking with acoustic instruments combined with a name that reminds me of Supertramp and weed is cause for concern. Maybe if I knew their music I'd find the humor or irony in this. At least while I've been typing the music has proven that there is some intended distance between what we see in the cover image before us and the sounds being made. I'm starting to get some Britpop vibes cut with more athletic guitars. If this record can keep the tempo and pace then I might be handing out stars like they're candy. We'll have to wait and see. As suspected when things slow down they feel a little more generic. Perhaps a slower tempo exposes more of their songwriting flaws? Or rather, and probably more accurate, if I hold the mirror up — the tempo shows me what my own preferences are. My edit for the record would've been to do 9 rippers and then run. Then they can put out a different album shortly after. I don't need the sprawling two disc treatment. But maybe a short album of bangers would've been received by the public as one dimensional. It's a hard balance to strike. In this particular case Supergrass didn't quite achieve it for me.

So I listened to the Supergrass album over the weekend and re-listened Monday morning, only to realize I listened to wrong album. So I listened to this album a couple times and think I've had enough Supergrass for awhile..... I'm not a fan of Oasis, but I thought these guys sounded a lot like them. I thought the album was OK, with some good changes of pace. I thought I heard Billy Corgan's voice in Caught by the Fuzz and a little Steve Earle in Sex. Can't say I would download anything, but overall sound was good and not bad to listen to at work. Liked In it for the Money and Tonight too. Again, decent. I am guessing Luke liked this album? I didn't mind but nothing great. 2.5 but will score a 3

3 I think Supergrass is technically the second band I’ve ever seen live, being that they opened for Foo Fighters just after another group called Year Long Disaster… or maybe the third if you want to count a Cheap Trick show that happened at a bandshell in my hometown when I was 1 (true story). Either way, I know very little about this group despite having been at one of their shows. I enjoyed the first handful of tracks (aside from the jarring end to the title track), but it also didn’t feel like anything I hadn’t heard before. To me, this is Britpop at its most whelming, and I can see why these guys aren’t held quite in the same regard as Oasis or Blur. The back half especially is an assortment of unremarkable alternative rock, and the vocals across the board seemed to blend in for me with other artists of the era - depending on the song I feel like I could hear Thom Yorke or Billy Corgan. Wouldn’t mind having on again, but probably wouldn’t seek out.

I had doubts about this band but over all, really solid music.

Decent

Demasiado largo, pero es bastante escuchable

Unless you did more than catch radio hits from the 90s Brit rock acts (Blur, Oasis, etc), you may have missed Supergrass. Even this being right in my wheelhouse, I don't know this band very well and haven't listened to them in ages. Looking forward to a focused, first-time-in-twenty-five-years play through of this album.... And there ya go. Pretty good record, can see why it didn't cross the ocean, though.

Better than I expected. At times reminded me of Smashing Pumpkins, other times I heard some distinct Black Sabbath influences....

Brit-rock-ey, with some more experimental/prog stuff

Much better than their debut album but without the hit

This is the second time they’ve tried to make Supergrass happen. It’s not working. This is once again fine. Not a record I’ll spin again anytime soon.

New to me. Enjoyed it.

Nice enough, but nothing special. So ... OKish. 3/5

Reminded me of ok computer I love ok computer I love britpop no as much as Radiohead

C'est la DISETTE

💤💤💤💤

Accomplished second album from band that rode the Britpop wave. Overlong but with inventive use of guitars. Needs more than one listen i think. Solid.

I will salute Brit Pop if you run it up the flag pole

Ik had vroeger een vriend die fan was van Supergrass. De naam is mij dus bekend, maar de muziek eigenlijk niet. Nu een nieuwe kans om het te leren kennen. Lekker melodieuze punkrock. Ik vind het eigenlijk heel goed klinken. Ik had misschien eerder naar mijn vriend moeten luisteren. ***

Perfectly acceptable

I like Brit pop and there were a couple songs on here I enjoyed, but there's also some weird ska-like instrumentation that I couldn't get down with.

I'd never heard this before. Didn't even know Supergrass had a double album. I liked it.

Pretty inoffensive indy Brit pop. A couple of middling hits but should it be in here?

It was a decent album to listen to but I will not likely listen to it again.

One of the only bands where every song is at least enjoyable. The tempo is a little high and gets a little stale on this album though. 4 3

Ihan hauska ja menevä levy! 3/5

Interesting. Album was all over the place in terms of sound

Richard III easily favourite track, also enjoyed the acoustic version of Caught By The Fuzz. Overall an enjoyable listen.

yeah it's ok, bit of a stretch to be an essential album by any measure. Late in the day is very good

Oasis automatically played after the album ended, and I was like “oh this song is pretty good!” I think that says enough about the rest of the album

This is fine and good. Nice production a couple of catchy hooks but do we really need a more developed and mature Supergrass?

Could have been a lot worse. Consistently fine but not a lot stood out.

Very good. Very enjoyable. Yet already forgotten.

In It for the Money is the second album by English alternative rock band Supergrass. It is a wonderful Britpop album from the late 90's. I liked listening to the album while getting some work done.

Patiko, buvo geras vaibas klausyt sio albumo, linksmu dainu netruko. Galeciau pamineti sex! daina, sauni puikus zodziai. Atradau cia ir girdetu dainu tokiu kaip 'tonight' 'G ong' I playlista neisidejau neivienos dainos , bet albumas susiklause tikrai neblogai :)

Better than the previous album. Some nice tunes

It's Alright.

i'll give you two bob

Quite enjoyable record, and it seems like the band had a blast in the studio. Nothing remarkable either, and the closer 'Sometimes I Make You Sad' felt a bit out of place.

I found myself thoroughly enjoying the album from start to finish. Unfortunately I couldn’t recall a single track half an hour later. And a full day later I barely remember listening to it. Not half bad but not memorable either.
