    Good album, terrible mastering.

    U.S. Release: April 2000

    Rolling Stone review:

    Supergrass are one of the few English bands that actually sound like themselves rather than a blurry Xerox of somebody who's selling more records. They're more of a fully digested distillation of nearly all things Brit rock, from the Kinks to the Sex Pistols. Gaz Coombes, Mick Quinn and Danny Goffey started out punky and playful on 1995's I Should Coco and aimed for moody maturity with '97's In It for the Money. The delayed U.S. release of last year's Supergrass finds the trio attempting a shotgun synthesis of those earlier efforts. The lil' dumb hook of the self-descriptive rocker "Pumping on Your Stereo" lodges in your ear within seconds, but elsewhere, Supergrass' middle-ground methodology produces pleasant power pop that's rarely quite powerful or pop-y enough. A rainbow of retro arrangements -- organ-led psychedelia on "Mary," symphonic prog rock on "Born Again" -- can't compensate for middling emotions, muted performances and songwriting that's merely good when it should be gorgeous, gorilla-size or at least goofy. (RS 839)

    Anyone who reviews that album without mentioning "Eon" needs to go back and listen to it again!

    The vocals could use more balls but the rest is good.

    This song sounds considerably more R'n'R without the choir and strings (!), so here's a live version of Biffy Clyde's "Living Is A Problem Because Everyone Dies":

    Loads of superb songs from White Denim (probably the best band around today).

    How many modern rock songs actually make you want to party though? That was one of the things great about older music. Just about every modern rock song I hear seems to be the same crunchy bluesy thing, which is fine and all, but it's not all of rock music.

    Junior Senior always saw themselves as the Danish answer to The B-52's, as evidenced best in this song.
