Hi There;
I will de lurk to say that I have had the new Supergrass for a couple of weeks and it has not grown on me at all. I would not say it sucks but it is going to the resale bin fairly soon. They reached their Zenith with the self titled cd from 2000. Now that was a rocking good album.
You can listen to the sound opinions program at http://www.wxrt.com/<http://www.wxrt.com/> but is is an AOL based web cast so you have to use their software. http://www.soundopinions.com/<http://www.soundopinions.com/>

I was also interested in hearing about the new Supergrass. I did not read the MOJO review, but I was glancing through Q at Borders recently and their review was a bit more iffy. Sort of along the lines of "the group strives for greatness, but does not quite achieve it".
This may get me in trouble on this list, but I think of Supergrass in the same way I think of Redd Kross. Both groups release albums that contain at least 2 or 3 absolutely killer songs, but the rest of the tracks are...eh....
