Review
The debut album "I Should Coco" from Supergrass, released way back on May 15, 1995, absolutely shines as a cornerstone of the Britpop era. The title itself is a cheeky nod to Cockney rhyming slang, meaning "I should think so," setting the scene for an album loaded with energy and playfulness. This album, crafted at Sawmills Studios in the picturesque Cornwall under the guidance of producer Sam Williams, introduces listeners to Supergrass's raw vibe and boundless enthusiasm. It's a wild ride through catchy, upbeat tracks coupled with deeper tunes that highlight just how versatile these guys really are.
Key tracks you'd wanna dive into include "Alright," that catchy breakout single that really put them on the map, and "Caught by the Fuzz," their debut stunner. Don't skip over "Mansize Rooster" or "Lenny," which add their own splash of fun to this vibrant collection. The buzz around "I Should Coco" was big in the UK, rocketing to the top of the charts for three solid weeks and earning platinum status as a testament to its success. This album isn't just riding on its sales; critics loved its undiluted sound that perfectly captures Supergrass's early thrill. It's still considered a staple for any Britpop lover and bears witness to Supergrass's continued impact on the alt-rock scene. - Aiden
