Comments on: Supergrass – Diamond Hoo Ha http://songbytoad.com/2008/04/supergrass-diamond-hoo-ha/ Independent music from Edinburgh, Scotland - with added gin and swearing. Fri, 10 Feb 2012 09:40:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: James http://songbytoad.com/2008/04/supergrass-diamond-hoo-ha/#comment-4139 James Thu, 17 Apr 2008 20:06:28 +0000 http://songbytoad.wordpress.com/?p=1513#comment-4139 Supergrass are the only band worth bothering with these days. Bands change, get used to it. If In It For The Money hadn't been the album it was, Supergrass wouldn't be around now - buried next to Sleeper, Echobelly and the like. They're the best british band after the Beatles! You'll all be saying it in years to come... Pretending that you always did "get" them. Diamond Hoo Ha is fantastic. Very urgent, bright and sexy. A million miles away from Road To Rouen... And the next album will be a million miles away from this one. Supergrass are the only band worth bothering with these days. Bands change, get used to it.

Aye, cheers Will, much appreciated that you could take time out from your busy schedule to pop by and bring the full weight of your colossal knowledge to bear on this lightweight prawn cracker of a review. In other news, this album is still shit, whatever wonderfully contrived excuses you have managed to find to justify the mediocrity. Uninformed review – heh heh heh.

Diamond Hoo Ha Man is simply a radio friendly tune based on jack whites style and rebel in you in a never get out of 2nd gear rocker. 345 is a top supergrass track as are the final 3-4 on the album, with Butterfly being a standout. Sure its not 11tracks of goodness but this is their final album on the current EMI contract n its clear they've been asked to radio-friendly it up after Road to Rouen. But thanks for your uninformed review anyway. Well i find it interesting you’ve put two of the blandest songs up for download here.

Want to hear new supergrass LP, but like you Mattghew suspect it's because I loved the early stuff. And yes, Stereophonics are fairly dull, it's just that I liked Dakota and the first album...but the rest is fairly boring.

I feel like a music snob everytime I'm in a car with a friend who is tuned in to Radio One or the like. I don't want to moan and twine, 'cos I know they've heard it all before, but I can't help it. I think there are labels out there releasing great stuff who are selling decent amounts. But you couldn't call bands on Merge, for example, mainstream. I'm sitting here thinking of bands I enjoy that could be classed as 'mainstream'. Come on, I don't want to be labelled as pretentious. Yeah, I can like chart music! Got it! Rilo Kiley! Don't get bigger than Warner Bros.! Hey… I feel like a music snob everytime I’m in a car with a friend who is tuned in to Radio One or the like.

My mind ain't where it should be right now & so I can't recall a blistering debut to compare it with. But you get what I mean, I know you do. Stop being a tease.

Stereophonics? I think not, old chap, I think not. He has a voice made for karaoke. I definitely agree about In it For the Money though - brilliant, and yet to bettered by them and many other bands I could name. Thank you Beardwrestler, I'd rather you had porn, frankly. Gav - I know what you mean about the anti-mainstream snobbery thing, and I am very aware of it when I listen to albums by well-established bands these days, but I just don't think there's anything to this at all. It'll get radio play and sales and plenty of marketing budget but I just don't think it deserves it at all. Whose debut should I have liked, DC? Stereophonics? I think not, old chap, I think not.
