5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect greatest hits album., October 23, 2004

By	M J Heilbron Jr. "Dr. Mo" (Long Beach, CA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Yup. Perfect.
For most of us here in America, Supergrass is virtually unknown. That's a crime.
I was lucky enough to have picked up 'I Should Coco' way back when, but nobody else I know did. They've put out quite a bit of good music since.

Here's the thing: this reminds me of Elton John's first greatest hits album. Yeah, he had a bunch of good songs, but when placed on one album, the world as a whole went bonkers. It properly reflected his then-prodigious talent.

Now here, we have a collection of songs that will serve several purposes.
1) The rabid Supergrass fan will play this and say, "Yes! Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!" No question, their best moments are here.

2) The casual Supergrass fan will play this and say, "Wow! There's a few more records I need to go pick up!" It will expand their appreciation of the band.

3) The rabid music fan, who may have a cursory awareness of the group will play this and won't say anything. He or she will be left stunned, cataloguing the various obvious musical influences and references, and simply blown away by their energy and talent. It is THIS person who will benefit most from this album.

4) The casual (but still serious about music) "alternative" rock enthusiast will play this, and decide they have a new favorite band.

Very few albums, and even less "greatest hits" albums, satisfy any of these types of fans, let alone all of them.

This one does. This is the real deal.

This should be the number one rock record in America today.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb collection of quirky, catchy hits (5 Stars), September 28, 2004

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

Supergrass has long been overlooked by the masses and the critics for their goofy antics and the frustrating nature of the band which never fully lived up to their promised potential shown on I Should Coco. Their last two studio albums could have been much better seeing the impressive catalog built up on their first two albums alone. Nevertheless, Supergrass is an amazing singles band and they never disappoint in that respect. Whenever a new Supergrass album comes around it's almost guaranteed you can find several gems on it immediately. That's what makes Supergrass Is 10 such a treat: it's all the past Supergrass greatness gathered on to one perfectly mixed compilation. Every moment here is alive and absolutely filled to the brim with that pure energy one expects from Supergrass singles and there isn't a single dull moment in the entire group. Very few bands can make a greatest hits album that would be able to hold a candle to Supergrass Is 10, which is surely a thought that will come across listener's minds as they take the time to relive all the great moments had with this hugely underrated band.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Amazing, October 25, 2004

By	Bernard H. Hofmann "Berndog" (Virginia Beach, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Since first hearing Supergrass seven years, I have been simply blown away. And this most recent compilation does not fall short. I am amazed that this band is not HUGE, HUUUUUUGGGE in the U.S. Just another example of how people in this country are isolated from so many other great bands out there and settle for the everyday dreary, monotone schlock they get on any commercial radio station (i.e. Staind, Creed, Linkin Park, Saliva, 3 Doors Down -- whatever! Aren't they all the same band anyway?). Anyway, I highly recommend this CD, as well as their back catalogue, and the 'Supergrass is 10' DVD. The documentary on disk 1 is incredible. Enjoy!
