Alright - Supergrass

Advantages: Great single after great single, an enjoyable way to spend an hour and a half
Disadvantages: None

...Do you like good music? Anyone who likes good music will love this greatest hits album. This may seem rather a bold statement but I really cannot explain just how good this band are. You will instantly recognise almost every song on here and will find yourself saying 'I never knew Supergrass did that song'. There are some great singles on here. The infectious 'Alright', the catchy 'Pumping on Your Stereo', the classic rock track 'Richard III' and of course the crowd favourite 'Moving'. Seriously, you cannot afford to be without this album. EVERY person I have lent this album to loved it and consequently went and bought the entire Supergrass back catalogue. So, discover for yourself one of the most criminally overlooked bands of the 90's.... Read review

This is a bit of a strange album (but what else would you expect from people who have sideburns that big!!) but I do love it. I don't think it's as good as their latest album, but who's debut is!! Favourites off the album would have to be the rocky 'Mansize Rooster' and the speeded up voices on 'We're Not Supposed to'. Buy it if.. you like Supergrass!!... Read review

...In every sense this album is more than alright. Alright is the single that everyone will know, the jaunty sing along that was 1 of the summer hits from 1995, however whilst excellant this is not completely representative of the album as a whole which his a much rougher edge. From the crashing drums of the opening "I'd like to know" to the closing fadeout of "time to go" supergrass have produced an excellent debut. The singles including "Lenny" and "mansize Rooster" are obvious highpoints but there isn't a duff track on the album. Gaz and the boys haven't managed to beat the adreneleine rush of this yet, but here's hoping for lots to come... Read review
