A welcome return to form and all round great rock album,
| By | V. King |
Supergrass have had a somewhat patchy discography, ranging from the crackling I Should Coco to more mediocre albums with standout songs outnumbered by more forgettable tunes; Supergrass have never lost their appeal but they have sometimes disappointed.
Just from listening to the first song, Diamond Hoo Ha Man, you know that this is a great rock album. Relatively short at only 41 minutes, but there's no filler, and there's standout tracks like 345 and Whisky & Green Tea. Though each listener will find some tracks weaker than others, there's no real dud songs, and the pace is fast enough for it not to matter anyway. There's a handful of influences to be found, but this is never overly derivative, and the album doesn't take itself that seriously that it matters.
All in all this is a definite improvement for the band, and solid enough to impress new listeners. There's all the ingredients of classic Supergrass here, and more.
