I'm still not ready for any Britpop retrospective. I rinsed this solid for a period of around three months in '95. I had very one dimensional musical tastes at the time. Supergrass were a little different though. Underneath the cartoon characters they had a dark side. the bass playing is a BEAST here. The joy of the songs keeps it all happy, happy joy, joy. Caught by the Fuzz still managed to raise a smile.

This hasn't aged well. Was a fan at the time, but hearing it again it feels like that typical Britpop style of throw loads of old (largely seventies) rock bands / tropes against the wall and see what slides down. I guess the juvenile lyrics appealed more when I was a lot younger, too. For teen angst, give me Buzzcocks or The Undertones any day.
