Free Music Notes for I Should Coco
Free Music Review: Revisiting Supergrass....
Hit: 5 Stars
I got into Supergrass just as they released 'In It For The Money' around 1997. Instantly i purchased COCO. Britpop was quite underground in America, but extremely lively compared to the music being done domestically by most bands of the time.
A couple weeks back I revisited Supergrass after half a decade's lapse and found their newer albums were all rather good, unique, evocative. COCO still stands up as an excellent album. It is fun, lively, youthful, catchy, and hasn't aged a bit. I could see kids today still loving this stuff dearly, as they did back in the mid-90's.
What a band. Supergrass is excellent, and I hope they keep doing what they do until they are old as dirt.
Free Music Review: I'm Cuckoo for I Should Coco....
Hit: 4 Stars
I Should Coco - The debut from Brit-pop trio Supergrass. In 1995 when this was released these Oxford boys were only teenagers creating a burst of delightful energy!
Slick production, fun hooks and fizz galore, a joy to listen all the way through, even though Gaz Coombes vocals shows it's limits. This is the only one to date that made any impact here in the United States. Supergrass' second effort "In It For The Money" is a bit darker and not as mischievious or exciting as "I Should Coco."
They were even offered their own television series by a U.S. TV producer in 1995; kind of like The Monkees in the '60s, but the band wasn't interested in his offer. I think that was a smart decision.
Their Hit Singles include songs "Lenny" - "Caught by the Fuzz" - "Mansize Rooster" & "Alright" - a Teen anthem and HUGELY popular and in heavy rotation on MTV. My absolute favorite song would have to be the opening track - "I'd Like to Know." - Very fast, fun teenage spirit. The only "somewhat" less up-beat song is the closing track "Time to Go" a bit Beatle-esque of a sound.
Truly remarkable! -For me- Somewhere in between 4 & 5 stars
Free Music Review: Two fantastic songs, lots of enthusiasm, not much else
Hit: 4 Stars
This CD starts out great, with "I'd Like To Know", a really energetic power-pop song and gets even better with "Caught By The Fuzz". It's a song about getting arrested, but instead of the usual bravado, it's a song about fear and shame, which makes it very uniquely human. I think it's an absolutely excellent song, that's way unappreciated.
For the rest of the CD, well, the band has plenty of energy and enthusiasm, but unfortunately, that isn't enough to make the rest of the songs all that worthwhile. The band has a few more moments, but I found this to be basically a two song CD.
The first two songs are 5+ star songs. The whole CD merits 3 1/2 stars, so in the generous Amazon rating system, it gets 4 stars from me.

Went to a concert here recently and it was the best one of my life. This cd is a little punkier with faster beats then other ones, still completely awesome.Free Music Review: Prodigy Pop Kings

Lot's of fun yet again, then at the end winds down to cool things off for the next supergrass cd which is "In It For The Money"
I Love Supergrass, Never Change
