Amazon.co.uk Review
"We are young / we are free / Keep our teeth / nice and clean" is hardly an incendiary motto, but the lyrics to "Alright" rather summed up Supergrass' influential Britpop statement of intent, II Should Coco/I. It's about being young, about riding on buses, about smoking cigarettes and about getting a little bit tipsy. Harmless fun, even if it does involve being caught with a little bit of hash, as frontman Gaz Coombes memorably recounts on "Caught By The Fuzz". What makes Supergrass' debut so much more important than, say, Menswear's debut album, though, is that II Should Coco/I sounds every inch an unforced classic. "I'd Like To Know" and "Caught By The Fuzz" clatter along with vintage punk cheer, but later "Time" and "She's So Loose" demonstrate a mellow capacity for reflection. II Should Coco/I is so much more than kid's stuff; it's an almost too-perfect snapshot of adolescence. --ILouis Pattison/I

 One Of The Best Albums Of The '90s June 3, 2003
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This album is probably Supergrass' best (although 'In It For The Money' is superb too but this has more 'Mojo'). It combines classic punk with britpop in a unique way with VERY catchy songs which go by so fast that its easy not to recognise and appreciate the melodic complexity of them. pThe album has alot of energy and is a very fun listen with tracks like 'Mansize Rooster' providing a very uplifting sound which features warm harmonised backing vocals that make you feel good and happy inside.pI recommend this album to any music fan and I would imagine you would have heard the single 'Alright'- well if you like that song (can't imagine why you wouldn't) then you will love this album.pI am proud that great artists like Supergrass are from Britain and i am very proud to have this album in my precious music collection!

Debut albums are always hard. You have to nail it with great songs and build a good reputation at the start of a long career. I bet you that Queen and The Beatles would have jacked it in if their debuts were rated badly. Supergrass' debut album (now 10 years old) is absolutely brilliant. With fantastic songs coming left right and center. No matter how much you pay for this CD, you can bet you're in for a treat. It kicks it all off with one of the best tracks they've ever done-'I'd Like To Know'. A fantastic rock rampage with a funky instrumental at the end. Then, you have their first ever song-'Caught By The Fuzz'-a catchy tune based on a real event. Then another brilliant single that goes by the name of 'Mansize Rooster'. A bouncy song with a good drum beat that you just can't put down. At number 4 comes Supergrass' best-known song. 'Alright'. " We are young, we are free..." Pure genius at work. Then comes the fantastic rock piece 'Lose It'. And more catchy beats with 'Lenny'. 'Strange Ones' (another of their first) comes followed by another of the albums best. The ultra-fast and ultra-great 'Sitting Up Straight'. To slow things down, 'She's So Loose' and the laughably high-pitched singing of 'We're Not Supposed To' make a refreshing change of pace. The slow rock tune of 'Time' and the long beats of 'Sofa (Of My Lethargy)' and the great topper of 'Time To Go' end this album. After listening through it once.

Easy-listening but still a musical result of the highest quality. We wouldn't expect anything less from these four guys that constantly struggle to outdo themselves. A wonderfull album which I recommend to everybody who enjoys rock
era-defining, summer indie pop October 11, 2004

this album summed up my summer of 1995; young and full of energy. Its the perfect mid 1990's adolescent album, full of punchy tunes and memorable pop records. The album's first song 'I'd like to know' is a perfect tune to jump up and down to, getting the blood flowing, followed by the young punky goodness of 'Caught by the Fuzz', the perfect anthem for every tearyaway youth whose going through their difficult stage! 'Alright' is the perfect summer pop song, whilst songs like Lose It and Lenny rock your socks off. the 2nd half of the album is abit calmer with more melodic rather than riff heavy guitar. Songs like She's so loose, Time and Sofa of my lethargy are great soulful tunes. All in all, this album is brilliant. Sadly they did deteriorate, though 'in it for the money' was a good album with a rockier feel to it, but 'Supergrass' was pretty bad. But go out and buy this if you remember 1995.

This is the fourth album of theirs I've owned and it's absolutely brilliant. In my opinion, this one falls short of their second work 'In it for the money' but not by much at all (which makes this album brilliant none-the-less and certainly not disappointing).
br /
br /It is bubbly, youthful, lively, fun, vibrant, mad, silly, ......
br /
br /But is musically very creative (not surprising for Supergrass). The messages throughout the songs are snapshots of adolescence given in a querky, jokey way (as are the songs musically!)
br /
br /The high standard of music of these guys at their age for their 1st album is unbelievable - far superior than much of what other artists produce as their 1st, 2nd, 3rd or even 6th album.
