Sporting sideburns almost as big as himself, Gaz Coombes more or less led Supergrass as the trio charged through a very goofy selection of pop-punk; think of them as the Who influenced by 1977 punk, or a British version of Green Day and you're getting somewhere close to the sound. The kids were more than alright, however, having more fun than was probably legal, with choruses that velcroed themselves to the brain ("Alright," "She's So Loose") while still being decidedly off-the-wall. The album included their first two singles, "Caught by the Fuzz" and "Mansize Rooster," just to add to its top pop quotient. --Chris Nickson

5.0 out of 5 stars best Britpop album of the '90s, November 30, 2002

By	Justin Mclaughlin "Justin McL." (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I like Blur, the Charlatans, Oasis, etc. But none of those guys ever released anything as amazing as this. I Should Coco is quite possibly the most energetic album ever made, it's like these guys subsided on nothing but sugar packets while in the studio. The songs are about running around with your friends, getting caught by the cops, riding the bus, and who knows what else? All that matters ultimately is that the hooks are fantastic, the energy level never flags, and the band is obviously having a great time. You listen to this, and then you hear that Creed sap moaning on the radio, and you can't understand why anyone would prefer that tripe over music like this. If you don't own this, you should have acquired it 7 years ago.

Lot's of fun yet again, then at the end winds down to cool things off for the next supergrass cd which is "In It For The Money"

5.0 out of 5 stars Debut of the most overlooked rock group ever (5 Stars), September 28, 2004

By	Brian Conway - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Supergrass' I Should Coco is a landmark acheivement. The thought that mere teenagers could recreate an energy not felt since the birth of punk in the late 70s is astounding. Supergrass deliver great track after great track almost through the entire album, each one filled with a youthful energy and an appropriate goofiness that is so lacking in the world of music. The frontman of the band, Gaz Coombs, has written enough infectious songs on this one effort alone to qualify him as one of the great pop writers of all time. Only during maybe one or two tracks does the album slow a bit. It effects the final result of the album but it doesn't kill it (the slow tracks are just as good as the rest). It's amazing to think how short-lived Supergrass' fame was when listening to this fine album and one can only hope that these unsung artists will rise to the top once more.
