SUPERGRASS

by Matthew Regensburger

Supergrass
In It For The Money
(Capitol)

Supergrass' second major-label production, In It For the Money, is better than their debut album. This is hard to believe because their debut album, I Should Coco, is quite good.

Most people in the States, are not familiar with this British group, because they are not pushed very hard here. In England, they are widely popular and critically acclaimed, winning several major British music awards.

The album has a variety of sounds ranging from traditional rock and roll to mainstay British pop. They actually include a human in the song "Sometimes I Make You Sad." Supergrass' first U.S. single is "Cheapskate." Though, you probably won't here it all that often.

In It For the Money is an awesome album that probably won't do all that well here, but that is a shame. This trio from Oxford deserves more credit.
