Fuzzy Logic

What??? Generic sub-par Britpop? On this list??!?!? Oh wow, I can't wait for this unusual and singular listening experience!!!

My first reaction was "No, we have Flaming Lips at home." but I'm warming up to them. I'd like this better if they limited themselves to 1.5 songs worth of ideas per song.

I support death penalty for furries

A Britpop band that got lost in the pile of other Britpop bands of the time. Too many of these songs sound like a Blur song or a Pulp song, et al. I kept waiting for one to sound like a Supergrass song but it never came. Because Supergrass is singular. It's funny that they have a song called Hanging with Howard Marks - and their previous lead singer (Rhys Ifans) played Howard Marks in a film in 2010.

Plain and boring. Not the great 90's pop we all know. It's a 1.5 stars, barely.

A band and album I feel I need to revisit- still, very cool stuff.

Eh

The more I listened the better it got. Above average, but nothing great. Standouts: If You Don't Want Me To Destroy You, Hometown Unicorn, God Show Me The Magic, Something For the Weekend. 4/5

Again I draw some issue with this being listed in places as rock. Maybe some of their later stuff is more rock, it's not impossible, but this album is Britpop all the way down, and for the life of me I just don't get Britpop. I just don't understand the fascination with it; even after its era in the late 90s as the dominant sound has passed it's still considered one of the great sounds, with bands like Oasis remaining one of our move loved acts despite, well, all the mess Oasis causes generally. Super Furry Animals and Fuzzy Logic, to my ear at least, are not an exceptional example of the form. Rather, they are practitioners who are definitely good enough to survive when the music landscape was hospitable to Britpop, but as somebody not a fan in an era where new Britpop isn't really a thing, I don't have the capacity to give SFA any flowers they might deserve. Just not for me.

Kind of forgettable.

3.5. But based on my “terrible, bad, fine, good, great” scale it’s FINE 3

Okay I guess

6.4

Generic Brit pop/rock band with at least one “weird” song to set them apart from the sea of generic Brit pop/rock bands who also have a weird song on their album.

found this very irritating

meh

Pretty boring middle of the road stuff, but at times rather annoying. Plodding melodies. Annoying sounds.

Cool different album. Will listen again

Don’t think I’ve ever heard of them. I actually kinda like this.

2.5

Trevligt men ej exceptionellt

Känns som att jag gillat en del låtar med dem tidigare men på det här albumet var det inte så mycket som fångade mig.

Jäkla nice ba.

I like this one much better than the other album we listened to, which was all over the place. Fuzzy Logic is still plenty eccentric, but there’s a narrower focus sonically, filled with power pop melodies, crunching guitars and plenty of whimsical psychedelic flourishes, all in service of a strong set of memorable, tight songs and lyrics like “You and me are idly gathering musings of industry / death by misery.” I bet these guys are great live. 4.5.

Like the other one we heard, this is pleasant, but a bit all over the place. I'm sure it rewards repeated listens.

Listened before?: never God! Show Me Magic - 5/5 Fuzzy Birds - 4/5 Something for the Weekend - 5/5 Frisbee - 3/5 Hometown Unicorn - 4/5 Gathering Moss - 4/5 If You Don't Want Me to Destroy You - 4/5 Bad Behaviour - 3/5 Mario Man - 2/5 Hangin' With Howard Marks - 4/5 Long Gone - 4/5 For Now and Ever - 3/5 Average score: 3.8/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Brit pop slop. Not super into it, but does have some fun moments. Closer to a 3 than a 2.

this guys voice is kind of annoying, but i did like the music

Too much echo and really not a good singing voice

Enjoyable enough, although I generally preferred SFA's later album, Rings Around the World. In this one they're experimental and doing a mix of psychadelia, pop, and some stuff that sounds like ELO. It gets a bit repetitive and for me the vocals get a bit lost sometimes. Still, a decent listen for most of it.

Proper bog-standard britpop. Didn't like it but didn't not like it. For Now and Ever was my fav song and first album. Fuzzy Birds was my other highlight of the album.

Meh, I don't think this album is for me

I said in my review if Rings Around the World that I looked forward to hearing the other Super Furry Animals album in this book so I could complain they only needed one album in this book. Well, here we are. I can now state there should only be one Super Furry Animals album in the book. It’s not this one either. The first half of this album is full of songs that don't exceed 3 and a half minutes, while the second half of the album contains jams that exceed 4 or even 5 minutes. It's very odd sequencing, as they seem to play like two different albums. I would have put one Super Furry Animals album in here and it should be Rings Around the World. I still can't figure out if these guys are the British equivalent of the Barenaked Ladies. I guess it does not matter since BNL has zero albums in this book and Super Furry Animals has two. There is nothing offensive here, but there is also nothing that would indicate to me this album is better than Rings Around the World or any other Brit-pop at the time. For Now and Ever has a strong Weezer vibe to it, which I found to have stood out from the other tracks on here. For Now and Ever isn't exactly a better song, but it feels more focused than some of the other tracks on here. My favorite songs: God! Show Me Magic Something 4 the Weekend Hometown Unicorn If You Don't Want Me to Destroy You Bad Behavior For Now and Ever

Yeah its fine, no impact on me whatsoever

There's something here... but not really anything I like. Noise in the wrong ways, and goofy in the Elvis Costello-way. Got slightly better as the album went on. Not something I'd be putting on again anytime soon though. Rating: 3/10 Favorite Song: Hometown Unicorn

Pretty bland pop-rock album. Nothing special about this, and the main reason I'm not marking this lower is because I liked the clear Welsh accent on some of the songs. The very Cardiffian pronunciation of 'Howard Marks' was a standout. Being a Welshman, it made me chuckle. 2.5/5.

2,3-5

I had another Super Furry Animals album a couple of weeks ago, and I didn't really care for it. On first listen, this one's quite a bit better. Unfortunately the version on Qobuz is heavily extended with a bunch of tracks (demo versions and the like) which don't really add to the album experience. So I'm reviewing the tracks that comprise the original release.

um britpop maneirinho, com algumas faixas legais e outras mais esquecíveis. talvez eu ouça de novo. 3,5.

What the fuck are we doing. Why tf am I listening to Fuzzy Logic by the Super Furry Animals. What are we doing. Fuck you. What the fuck is this. This is making me mad. Fuck you. This is really bad. Ok it's not that bad but still fuck off. This is giving me death by misery. Favourite: Something 4 the Weekend Least favourite: Hometown Unicorn

8/10

Is it ELO, is it Wheatus, is it Weezer, is it from Outer space? A rare combination of Psychedelic, Britpop and positivity. Like it!

Did not enjoy but was at least music

Not the best album uber ever listened to

Look it's not bad but it's not great either, there is a review that describes this album pretty well "It's ok. Bit of a confused sound. Like they don't know if they want to be Brit-pop or psychedelic rock." I think for what it is, there is some alright songs on here, just overall the heavy instrumentals get a bit boring after a while, and there is a lot of sound effects that don't always help the songs. I probably wouldn't listen to it again I think this just makes the cut for 2.5 stars, but I wouldn't put it much further.

I appreciate any band that takes silliness this seriously. Kind of a psychedelic infused Britpop. High quality playing, great guitar work, lots of energy and it sounds like they're having fun. Bonus points for being Welsh.

Like actual furry animals but not the band. They are just background noise.

It was decent I was fine with music it didn’t sound bad

This was pretty disappointing. The other album they have on this list is much better. This just felt like a bunch of random noises for most of it. Not interesting or unique really happened on this.

It was fine. Wasn’t boring or annoying. Just fine. Will not seek out to listen again & probably forget how it sounds in another hour

3.5 I feel like I should like it more than I do because I do enjoy this kind of music, but I don’t know I just zoned out for most of it 🤷‍♀️.

Finally something kinda actually cool

I don’t get why this is here. It’s ok.

Best Track - "Something 4 The Weekend"

They make a good noise but I’d rather listen to the bands they were listening to.

A nice listen, but nothing outstanding. Definitely more than background music, with some moments that make this worth listening to again. 3/5, almost a 4.

This is #day784 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and... here's to my second and final record by Super Furry Animals. Just a little more than a month ago, I rated Rings Around the World a 1. Was I too harsh? Listening to Fuzzy Logic, I don't think so... Fuzzy, psychedelic Britpop with little character. I'm hearing lots of Blur between the tracks. Why include two records by this band? I don't know. Let it be a 2 out of 5 this time. Looking forward to #day785.

I understand the intent, but it didn’t work for me. Too unfocused as they try to cram different elements here. The first 2-3 songs are ok. The rest are insufferable

Wasn't bad... I've never heard of them before and now I see why.

This was awesome! Never heard of the band before and they're massively up my street! Some super fun and quirky but catchy songs on here. Will immediately repeat!

Some very nice songs and some weird ones

Perus rittirenkutusta.

Tää on taasen näitä ihan maukkaita ysärin prittipoppiksia. Biisit on vähän ehkä semmosta kuuman puuron kiertämistä. Ihan kuitenkin jees. On näissä sentään joku omaleimasuus.

Ihan kivaa blur-henkistä menoa. Ei nyt mitään erityisen mieleenjäävää, mutta ihan mielellään kuunteli levyn.

Ok but forgettable alt-pop

Fav: If You Don't Want Me To Destroy You L: Frisbee 3 It was too fuzzy for me. I went back and forth the whole album on whether I liked it or not. The sound overall just felt too muddled for me to really enjoy it. Cover: 3 Name: 4 Minecraft Parody: If You Don't Want Me to /ban You

Pretty good. I didn't have the tracks pulled up while listening so I may need to come back to this one and give it more attention. We'll see how the score fares then. 3/5

idk if im still in my psychedelic genre refractory period or what but im not feelin this one much. doesn't help that they're not actually furries. at least commit to the bit lads...... i think expecting to get anything out of this might've just been a doomed prospect from the start for me, given its a combination of britpop and psych rock. i know the two genres can be good but, both also seem to have a woefully low hit rate, for me at least. combining the two.... hasn't really helped. i do like the track "for now and forever" quite a bit but other than that this album was gave me very little. i guess the gritty effects stack on the guitars in tracks like "frisbee" and "bad behaviour" is nice? and "fuzzy birds" dropping into a flute solo was kind of funny at least.... idk...... it didn't actively piss me off so that puts it above the last psych-something album we rolled (not that that's a particularly high bar to clear). but i don't really feel like that one pretty good track is enough to drag this any higher than a 2. oh well.

It’s fine, nothing special

It’s another Britpop album, and it does sound like just another Britpop album - there’s a couple of good tracks, and it is the music of my youth so I’m not hammering it - but it’s not great, either.

It was a fun listening, I like one or two songs but I don't think I will listen to in again 3/5

I'm writing this review 10 days after listening to this album, and I can't clearly remember a single song from it. All I remember is the feeling that it was packed with a lot of British music clichés that I don't particularly enjoy.

Like the other SFA album on this list, I found this album irritating. It's competently written and performed, but also quite cloying and empty. It feels like it was written through a game of telephone -- the "Beatles" songs actually sound like ELO, the "Beach Boys" songs sound like warmed over c86, and don't get me started on the "Bowie" songs. Pass.

I’ve never been a huge fan of TFA. This confirms why.

Wednesday, September 23, 2026 Had some great tracks on this album. Almost a 4!

Loved it fresh new different pitting in my rotation. Whole album is good and well thought out producing was great and song order superb

Kinda fun

It's a psychedelic Britpop album, has a seventies rock feel. Can hear the Bowie influence in a lot of the songs. It is well produced with lots of layers and textures, creates a bit of a wall of sound affect. They do a good job blending a lot of style like glam and punk, post grunge and psychedelic rock to make a cool album. Not going to rush and add it to my collection but it deserves a few more listens.

Un bon maillon manquant entre le post punk des années 80-90 et le rock des années 2000, avec en plus quelques accents grunge et prog, et un héritage de rock classique, notamment les Beatles, parfaitement assumé. Un vrai régal !

Mouais, les chansons se ressemblent toutes, et... c'est du rock.

Super Furry Animals walked so OK Go could run

So British that I started craving bland food and repressing my emotions halfway through the album. The Britpop vibe is strong with this one - sweet but slightly whiny vocals, nondescript derivative music, and occasional bursts of art rock inspiration that shine for a brief moment before falling back into mainstream pop territory. I find it listenable as background music, but it doesn't excite me beyond that. Not terrible, but very forgettable. It would certainly not have made the list if the author wasn't British. 4/10

Lots to love, but sometimes an "rock FM" feeling... good effort nontheless.

I’m genuinely surprised I’d never heard of this 90s band before. On first listen, I wasn’t quite sure what to make of it. There are definitely some strong melodic moments, but the 60s psychedelic vibe is unexpected and, on paper, exactly the kind of thing that should put me off. Then I gave part of the album another spin and, once I managed to ignore that nagging feeling that the singer sounds a little too much like Damon Albarn, it started to click. I wouldn’t say I love it, but I can reasonably enjoy it. It’s close to Britpop, but with more of everything: more distortion, more technical ambition, and influences that are much more openly embraced.

Undecided if they want to be some sort of unedgy Sex Pistols, or Weezer (who came first, actually?), or some 70s rockabilly band or anything else. Maybe fun if you were there but sounds perfectly pointless to me in 2026.

some very interesting vocal stylings, and in general it ranges somewhere between weird (neutral) and weird (acclamatory)

I listened to this twice and still can't remember what it sounded like a couple hours later. While I definitely didn't hate it, I think it probably doesn't deserve a high score off of being that forgettable alone.

Quite liked parts of this such the Beatlesque flourishes on If You Don’t Want me to Destroy you and Something 4 the weekend. Not consistent enough to warrant more than a 3 though.

It was ok reminded me of Blur in places.

A pleasant surprise for a change after a series of disappointing proposals.

great album cover

Molto interessante. È un misto di atmosfere di David Bowie, studio dei suoni dei Beatles, psichedelia elettronica, folk e rock spinto, il tutto filtrato dal suono moderno anni '90.

Nie je to nič mimoriadne. Pre mňa to v tomto zozname nemusí byť.

I think I might have liked this more if I paid more attention to it but honestly I had other things going on today. I'll put it on a list to revisit sometime maybe

It drives me a little batty when bands like this (and Cake, and OK Go, and Talking Heads) never take their music seriously -- lyrically anyway -- but then they play their instruments and write the melodies and I'm like damn, that's catchy as hell. That's why I'm split down the middle on my rating. If they sound this good just "playin' around", imagine what would happen if they actually took their songwriting seriously.

Imaginative or weird depending on your point of view.

its ok. pretty good psych pop rock. its cool but i'd never return to it

2.5

The most interesting thing about this album is that it introduced me to the international drug smuggler Howard Marks, who's featured multiple times on the album's front cover. That can't be a good thing. The rest? It's like a rehashed version of ELO, nostalgic for the past, with a sound similar to what Wolfmother would do in the early 2000s. Except Wolfmother at least used mostly NOISE and DISTORTION. This band is mostly as wimpy-sounding as you could imagine, making bands like 10cc sound positively ballsy by comparison. I will give them credit, though—they do have a good sense of melody, and the production is nice and thick, fitting the profile of a tribute glam-rock/70s-psychedelic band. However, I don't see how this was supposed to be a reactionary album to British rock at the time. Listen to "Frisbee" for all the fuzz-drenched guitars and the "woo-hoos!" in the background. How is that any different from, say, Blur? Or listen to "Hometown Unicorn"—plenty of ironic rock bands in the '90s were doing that kind of thing as well. They should have written more catchy, fun noisy rockers like "Bad Behaviour" instead. In fact, starting there, the album gets way better with the string of "Mario Man" and "Hangin' with Howard Marks", with fast paced songs, distorted guitars, and tougher vocals. Funny that they play Brit rock better than 70s rock, in the end! I guess the problem is that these guys make me want to listen to the real thing from the '60s and '70s instead. I have no idea what the guy at NME was sniffing when he wrote that they were "the most important band of the past 15 years," but I guess he fell asleep listening to Kid A or something. Or, maybe Wales was a desert for any notable alternative rock at the time and the local government wanted to lobby for someone. Who knows. 2 stars, only because it's passable enough in terms of enjoyability, but too annoying and trite to ever warrant a second listen. If this is some kind of "joke," maybe they should try explaining what's so funny about it?
