Free Music Review: Well played sirs
Hit: 4 Stars
I really enjoyed the record. I didn't even know that it existed until a few months ago, but Im glad that I came across it.
The title track "Road to Rouen" is full of life. It's got that funky riff that would make any quiet person feel like a pornstar. Fin is the perfect way to end the album. Quiet, somewhat hushed vocals. It leaves me in peace.
I recommend this record to people who didn't like early Supergrass stuff. It will surprise you.
Road to Rouen Poster
UK pressing. The brand new sounds of Supergrass's fifth record might frighten the timid, unadventurous types who think Supergrass should still be doing buzzsaw pop, ten years after they (re)invented the form with I Should Coco. With their new album they have made a record that is utterly, intriguingly, brilliantly different. Road To Rouen is about a journey; going places, moving on and growing up, a new chapter for Supergrass. Ghosts of the past have been exorcised and (sort of) laid to rest: Supergrass are ready to face their future. Road to Rouen demonstrates an amazing development of their sound, firmly shaking off the old frivolous and cheeky image. The album is packed with ideas and there are surprises at every turn. In a very good way, it's all over the place. A zither, a ukulele, Led Zep-style psychedelic-folk, brass, strings, the model of drum machine used by Sly & The Family Stone - all these are on Road To Rouen. EMI. 2005.When Supergrass released its excitable debut, I Should Coco a decade ago, the British trio (now a quartet) sounded so young, dumb and full-of-fun that Steven Spielberg thought they would make suitable candidates for a Monkees-style television show pairing infectious rock tunes with hilarious hi-jinks. As it turns out, the British group has followed the Monkees career path thoroughly, growing unexpectedly more somber with each of its successive releases, trading in shouty pop hits for plaintive retro-rock triumphs like "Pumping On Your Stereo" and "Moving." True to form, Road To Rouen, the band's fifth album, opens with the gentle "Tales of Endurance (Parts 4, 5 & 6)" and keeps the easy pace through melodic, string-filled highpoints such as "St. Petersburg" and "Roxy" - songs that confirm they're no longer monkeying around. "We welcome commercial suicide," sings frontman Gaz Coombes. --Aidin Vaziri
