Supergrass Albums Ranked
Supergrass is an English rock band formed in 1993 in Oxford. The band consists of brothers Gaz (guitar and lead vocals) and Rob Coombes (keyboards), Mick Quinn (bass and backing vocals), and Danny Goffey (drums and backing vocals). Originally a 3-piece, Gaz’s brother Rob Coombes officially joined the band in 2002. The band signed to Parlophone Records in 1994 and produced I Should Coco (1995), the best-selling debut album for the label since The Beatles’ Please Please Me. Their first album’s fourth single “Alright” was a huge international hit that established the band’s reputation. Since then the band has released five albums: In It for the Money (1997), Supergrass (1999), Life on Other Planets (2002), Road to Rouen (2005), and Diamond Hoo Ha (2008), as well as a decade-ending compilation called Supergrass Is 10 (2004). In August 2009 the band signed to Cooking Vinyl and began work on their seventh studio album Release the Drones. The album remained unreleased and unfinished as, on 12 April 2010, the band announced that they were splitting up due to musical and creative differences. The group disbanded after four farewell gigs, the final one at La Cigale, Paris on 11 June 2010. The band reformed in 2019, initially to perform at Pilton Party followed by a ‘secret gig at Oslo in Hackney, London. Here are all of Supergrass’ albums ranked.

7. Diamond Hoo Ha (2008)
“This album is entertaining enough but it does not move on from, or improve upon the other albums in their back catalogue. I am not sure we will, or if we should hear more from Supergrass unless of course they can come up with something more original and more innovative.”
6. Supergrass Is 10: The Best Of 94-04 (2004)
“Supergrass have probably been the greatest exponent of the pop single over the last decade. In a world where bands are judged more and more on their artistic album based achievements, Supergrass’ fine singles catalogue has successfully managed to straddle both the pop and rock worlds in much the same way as that of the Beatles or Madness. While their albums are also full of quality, the group have chosen their chart assaults wisely and as a result this collection displays their talents to the maximum, which often isn’t the case with greatest hits albums.”
5. Life On Other Planets (2002)
“This album didn’t get a lot of plays when I bought it at the time of launch, perhaps it was due to the fact that Supergrass had failed to move on from the two albums that superseded this one. Nevertheless, there are plenty of good songs here, and all Supergrass fans should not hesitate to get in to this album.”

4. Road To Rouen (2005)
“I like the album, sounds comforting but honestly i don’t like it at all and probably because it becomes flat at some point but the song St. Petersburg it’s amazing, that song makes me feel like I can flow and exist in any way. The instruments sounds at par and with the voice everything is as it should be.”
3. Supergrass (1999)
“One of the best Neo-psych CDs I own. A modern masterpiece. This and Wilco’s Summerteeth are my two favorite studio albums of 1999 as both use the studio in really creative ways, combining old technology (Mellotrons, Moog Synths, Harpsichords) with new (Computer effects, pro tools.) Any fan of British music should get this”
2. In It For The Money (1997)
“Their masterpiece. Everything about it – from the swirling psychedelia of the vintage keyboards and strings, to the blistering guitars and Gaz’s vocals – is perfect. One of the greatest albums of all time”
1. I Should Coco (1995)
“This album is pure youthful energy. So-called Britpop but with huge power pop and punk influences. Very diversified. From radiogenic songs (Alright) to experimental fun songs à la Ween (We’re not supposed to). Although it is their debut the young musicians are musically mature.”
