This is another band that I didn't think I knew, but I recognized "Alright" from the cinematic masterpiece, Clueless. That association alone is enough to win my favor, but thankfully this album doesn't have to rely on its movie connections to make me like it. 

Britpop doesn't always sound fresh, but Supergrass approaches this album with such enthusiasm that they manage to make it sound new. They were clearly influenced by the Kinks and the Buzzcocks, but they sound different somehow. Maybe kinder, or more hopeful? Either way, I was totally bugging.

I am getting kind of tired of listening to Britpop, so I was pleased they brought something new to the table.

RATING: 4/5
