Good 4pm main stage festival band to have a beer to. Alright is like nails on a blackboard. Moving is fairly glorious, in a ‘heavily ripped from Dogs by Pink Floyd’ kind of way.

Worth listening to 3, 4 and 5. But in the order – 4, 5, 3.

I should coco has a lovely sound to it, very warm and fuzzy

Do not really get on with the self titled or only in it for the money, but life on other planets has some great tracks, and I liked that they were tryng to do something sparse and more atmospheric with road to Rouen.

Gaz still has a great voice when so many others from that era can’t really sing now so good for him

yeah, really bad imo

Liked the first three albums at the time (one holiday the self-titled was one of only two tapes I had with me in my walkman so will always be linked with Guernsey) but I don’t think the music stands up when I listen back now.

There is some nostalgia value in places but can’t see myself wanting to listen to any of their albums front to back ever again.

2/5

Absolutely this.

Bunch of bloody try-hards.

Can totally see why you would hate supergrass though as they are goofy and brash at times, no doubt some of it is nostalgia for me, that specific kind of vocal cadence and chorus/doubling reminds me of sunny childhood days

Frankly, whoever writes them off as Britpop chancers on the Alright video alone deserves nothing more than to be smeared in pate and locked in an airing cupboard with seventeen angry swans.

Seventeen Angry Swans. The new album from Sufjan Stevens.

Like this a lot! Especially the exact number of swans.

Sixteen would only achieve a certain level of argy-bargy/disgruntlement, but stick seventeen in there and wooooh boy, you’d better have updated that will recently.

Not my fault I have impeccable taste

Also an all-time classic title/cover combo (what is that chunky 70s style font?)

They have some really excellent artwork! Love the grimy 70s sitcom vibe of IIFTM. Looks like Steptoe and Son

Decent singles band. Solid and dependable mid-range product. A bit like a Ford Focus.

A solid 2.5 for me.

Wrong Theo. You should probably listen to Road to Rouen again. Or for the first time maybe!?

i really like them

3 great albums (i should coco, in it for the money, and road to rouen), loads of great tunes

i put 3 by accident, but they’re a 4

also one of my first cassette singles was sun hits the sky and it had a cover of some girls are bigger than others as the b-side, which explains why my dad knows that song despite never listening to the smiths
