Free Music Notes for Supergrass
Free Music Review: The High-Water Mark (Thus Far)
Hit: 5 Stars
You'd think it was a debut album, being self-entitled, but this was actually Supergrass' third studio release and, I would contend, their best. The semi-focused, college-band bounciness of their first outing, "I Should Coco," gave way to the full-out, punk-fun assault of "In It For The Money," and then this. It begins with a lilting, melodic, and atmospheric entre into "Moving," but don't think they've gone soft: Soon the wall of sound comes crashing down into a funky chorus, and you remember who you're listening to. Sonically, lyrically, musically more mature than its predecessors, "Supergrass" features a wealth of stand-alone tracks, but to discuss them individually is to sell the album short, because it has that special brand of "Dark Side of the Moon" full-length playability that few albums achieve. You don't put it on to hear one song; you put it on and let it play. Then, if you're like me, you let it play again.
For those raised on "Alright" from the "Clueless" soundtrack, don't worry: This is fun stuff, but from a more fully-developed band hitting their stride. The subsequent "Life On Planet Earth" was a disappointing follow-up, but it is to be hoped that Supergrass has a few more albums like this one still in the tank. If not, so be it. At least I caught this ride.
(P.S. Turns out, they've got plenty left in the tank: Check out 2005's "Road to Rouen." Supergrass is alive and well.)
Supergrass Poster
Supergrass may be the unluckiest band to come out of the Britpop wave of the early 1990s. Their first album, I Should Coco, saw the trio typecast as a cartoonish indie boy band propelled to stardom by the adolescent hijinks of "Feel Alright" and "Caught by the Fuzz." Unfortunately, this tag proved rather difficult to shake and as their music matured, their audience dwindled; their second album, In It for the Money, was released to critical acclaim and consumer indifference. By the time Supergrass was released in 1999, the band had already been relegated to the "Oh yeah, I remember those guys" category of pop. What a shame, because Supergrass is at least as good as In It for the Money--and that album was fantastic. Flaunting their '70s-rock influences proudly, Supergrass continue to sound like the world's greatest garage band with a sack full of studio toys. These guys know what makes a good pop song: "Pumping on Your Stereo" is practically shouting out for an audience of handclaps, while "Shotover Hill" makes use of the oft-neglected kettle drum. With Supergrass, the boys have again demonstrated how much they've grown up. Pop music, yes, but definitely not kid's stuff. --Robert BurrowThe hit British alternative rock group's third album. Self titled with 12 tracks, including the hit singles 'Pumping On Your Stereo' & 'Moving'. 1999 release. Standard jewel case.
