I guess the supposed "Return to form" in 2008 was no good idea. 1999-2005 was their best period, when the slowed down somewhat and concentrated on great harmonies and a somewhat "psychedelic" style.
Bigelf do much of the same today, only more progressive. Might follow them instead.

I really don't agree with that. They always had great harmonies and a psychedelic style right from the beginning, listen to Sofa off the debut. I was a big fan of their later albums but the first two albums are complete classics. The third album was a disappointment for me at the time, especially when Moving was such a great single. There's a few good songs on there but they sounded a bit tired. Life On Other Planets was a lot better but I think Diamond Hoo Ha was a genuine return to form, great songwriting and full of the energy that made them so appealing in the first place.
Caught By the Fuzz may remain their finest moment but they had plenty of others.
They had a new album ready to go, I really hope it still gets released.

I guess I was the only one disappointed by "in it for the money", the third seemed like a return but then again I only played it 1nce.

it does look lovely, but i have the catalogue on cd which still sound great to me, so not fussed re remastering/extras.
seen a few comments (and theories) here and there about the lack of 'going out' on the compilation given it was a big hit.
― mark e, Wednesday, 11 September 2019 17:28 (four years ago) link
Wow, that's weird they left it off. I didn't even notice. I saw their setlist for the London reunion show and Going Out was the closer. What have you read about it Mark?
― kitchen person, Wednesday, 11 September 2019 17:45 (four years ago) link
the song was supposedly written about dannys excess/celeb lifestyle, and caused some bad blood apparently.

I just put their second album on just to see and it's sounding pretty glorious so far

My favourite supergrass singles are the ones where they go heavy on the rock, like Lenny and Richard III

I still love the whole thing. One of the best albums of that era for me.
