1001 Albums Summary

Grew up with this album playing a lot so nice and nostalgic. Some absolute corkers, some a bit samey. Favourite has to be baby can I hold you.

Never really listened to supergrass before (apart from alright which I didn’t know was them). Didn’t think I’d like this album very much from the first song but it really grew on me. Not so much the more punky, in your face songs but some of the slower, more melodic stuff is surprisingly lovely.

Prefer their later albums but still brilliant. Their harmonies never cease to amaze me.

Not sure if this one can be topped - one of my favourite albums of all time. Every time I listen to it I notice something different it never gets boring. Elizabeth Fraser is the absolute GOAT. Wish there were more than 5 stars.

Such a nostalgic listen and lots of happy memories associated with this album. Sledgehammer is a confirmed bop (and my mum and dad’s first dance at their wedding) but then the likes of don’t give up and in your eyes make you feel all reflective and poignant. Great album.

An objectively great album but not my favourite of theirs. I think I prefer them when they got all pretentious but hey still some absolute bangers.

Didn’t do anything for me sadly.

Surprisingly enjoyable actually. A nice easy listen for background noise at work.

Lyrics quite random at times but then he has this ability to compose the most simple but beautiful melodies that scratch part of your brain like nothing else.

Fairly samey for me although do love the orchestral element.

Nice to listen to something different. Really really enjoyed - take 5 obviously a classic but the rest of the album also delivered. Cohesive and just nice on the ears.

Quite up my street - ethereal but upbeat. Something quite different I liked it.

Name of the album says it all. So evocative. Doesn’t get much better than this imo.

Love Joan of arc but the rest of the album didn’t really do much for me.
