Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Oxford's Supergrass have relaxed into a comfortable sort of middle age, the youthful rush of their early albums replaced by a muscular, if somewhat conservative breed of rock'n'roll. Diamond Hoo Ha, however, shows their early mischief hasn't entirely deserted them. The opening "Diamond Hoo Ha Man" surfs out on a distinctly White Stripes riff, Danny Goffey's drums beating out a distinctly Meg-like pulse; Gaz Coombes' lyrics, meanwhile, rock out with tongue firmly planted in cheek: "When the sun goes down, I just can't resist… bite me!" Supergrass' sixth album continues along such playful lines: "Bad Blood" melds swooning melodies and gloomy lyrics ("Milk and honey!/Won't heal my heartache") to lolloping, upbeat glam riffs, "Rough Knuckles" gets surprisingly funky with some great keyboard work from fourth member Rob Coombes, and the hilarious "Whiskey & Green Tea" is a gonzoid rock number peppered with horns and lyrics about "being chased by Chinese dragons". The heartfelt "Ghost of a Friend", meanwhile, is a Dylan-tinged number that mourns the loss of an old acquaintance to the "vultures, peacocks and hounds"--a veiled diss at celebrity culture?--and throws some grand shapes towards the close. --Louis Pattison


CD Description

Following the release of the title track single, Supergrassreturn with their sixth studio album, 'Diamond Hoo Ha'. In keeping with their post-Britpop musical growth, this releasesees the four-piece adopting a spikier sound than on previous, more reflective records. In particular, the single 'Bad Blood' recalls the vigour of their early singles, but with asonic maturity that has flourished with experience. 'Diamond Hoo Ha' is produced by Nick Launay, who has worked with such artists as The Birthday Party, Kate Bush and Gang of Four.

4.0 out of 5 stars Glam Rock - Yeah Baby!, 24 Mar 2008
Supergrass are back following up from 2005's mellow 'Road to Rouen' album and are back with with a fresh glam rock sound.

The boy's all in their 30's now (even Gaz!) have outlasted most of there peers as you's will all know and are still creating great music.

This album has fresh sounds and returns to earlier roots mostly 'In It For The Money Era'. The single 'Diamond Hoo Ha' has a White Stripes feel to it and 'Bad Blood' has a darker sound much like 1999's single 'Mary'. Other stand out tracks include 'Whisky and Green Tea' which wouldn't look out of place on 'I Should Coco', 'When I Needed You', '345' which is similar to 2004 single 'Kiss of Life'. The album ends with the excellent 'Butterfly' which sounds similar to the end tracks on 'In It For The Money'.

In short this album has a fresh sound to it with a return to earlier roots and will not only please loyal Supergrass fans but will also be able to attract new fans.

4/5

5.0 out of 5 stars Their Best Album Yet!, 29 Mar 2008
I'm a big fan of these guys, and this album proves why they are one of the best UK bands around.

It rocks, bigger better sounds than ever. I like their mellow stuff on Road to Rouen, but this album shows where Supergrass strengths are.

5/5!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Album, 28 April 2008

I've never been a massive Supergrass fan but Diamond Hoo Ha just grows with every listen thanks to some stylish guitar riffs and polished vocals + a fantastic Glam undercurrent throughout. Highly recommended.
