Product Description

They could only record at their Cornish studio when the tide was in, you know. "The acoustics", apparently. But what an investment that tide almanac was. From the vein-busting opener "In It For The Money" to the stoopid, human-beatbox closer of "Sometimes I Make You Sad", Supergrass's second album fairly defines the term "classic". "Going Out" swivels on an outrageous, 14-bar passage of Memphis brass and buzzes like the Beatles on the roof at Apple, while "Sun Hits The Sky" has all the furious bass-runs of the Who's "I Can See For Miles". And "Late In The Day" breaks into a guitar solo of such unindulgent homesick beauty it could cause pavements to weep. God would have to buy a Gibson and crib off John Lennon to top half of the songs on Money. --Caitlin Moran

This album is superb - from the hard driving "Richard III" to the gorgeous acoustic ballad "Its Not Me", the songwriting is up there with the likes of The Beatles throughout the whole album.
Supergrass grow up on this album because its not punky like 'I Should Co Co' instead a brass section features on quite a few tracks which is reminiscent of some of The Beatles later stuff; its also not quite as fresh sounding as 'I Should Co Co' and doesn't hit you quite as hard. However once you've given the album a few listens the hooks become so apparent you'll be singing along just about every track! Mind Blowing Stuff!

This album is in my opinion not only the best Supergrass album but also one of the greatest albums of our times. It would most likely appeal to not only fans of Indie music but in addition, to classic rock fans and perhaps even many hard rockers who may be moved such is the level of songcraft and passionate intensity on display here. A great production complimets Gaz's fine vocals nicely and the rest of the band do some sterling work. Could this end up being one of the few Brit albums of the 90's that will go down in history? A classic with a capital C. Looking forward to the Hoo Ha!

This is the only Supergrass album I own. I bought it on the strength of Richard III which I heard when it first came out. There are some great songs on this album, specifically In it for the Money and Richard the III - and those two songs alone make this album a worthwhile purchase.
I listened to the album a few days ago for the first time in a couple of years, and it still sounds fresh. Great hooks, blistering guitar and fantastic vocals. All in all, this record probably is a classic.

A Nearly Forgotten Perfect Album
It was by chance of hearing Supergrass's classic Alright on an advert that made me want to find out about the band that made a song which meant so much to me in my childhood. Read more

Perfectly executed

A masterpiece
It truly is. While the first album 'I should coco' is effervescent adolescent mayhem, and the third album 'Supergrass' is much darker and gloomy, this one is the masterpiece album. Read more

Truley the best album I have ever heard
I was very surprised to like this album the most out of the supergrass trilogy. I saw a documentary on supergrass and they said that it was too dark to be the best. Read more

Dissapointing second album.
Supergrass's first album remains one of my favourite albums. Its fresh and vibrant tunes, are pure quality. With this in mind I was sorely disappointed with the follow up. Read more

Very nice
This album is excellent. I only bought it a few weeks ago and it is brilliant. It is a great leap forward from I Should Coco with many many smart songs. Read more

Unbelievable
It is a rare occasion when every single song on an album is to such a high standard as it could be released as a single. This is nearly the case here. Read more
