 Supergrass: Supergrass is 10: The Best of 94-04 - PopMatters Music Review
Supergrass was going to be a one-album wonder, which was fine.
So the fact that it's 2004 and Supergrass is releasing a "Best of" for their 10th anniversary comes as a little bit of a shock, but a very welcome one.
Supergrass is 10: The Best of 94-04 includes four songs from Should Coco: "Caught By the Fuzz", the band's hugely fun teenage drug-bust anthem opens the collection, while "Alright" (their Monkeys-style theme song), "Strange Ones", and "Time" also make appearances.

 Supergrass: Supergrass Is 10: Pitchfork Record Review
Now, Supergrass aren't (isn't?) the most self-conscious bunch of apemen, but the title of their new "best of" collection clearly adopts the Americanized diction.
A decade after "Caught by the Fuzz", Supergrass look to break the surly bonds of Britpop and establish themselves in the rock 'n' roll pantheon, borders and oceans be chuggered.
What's striking about Supergrass Is 10 is its revelation that, despite the occasional stabs of Parklife rhythm guitar and music-hall tinges, Supergrass never really belonged to the scene from which they sprang.

 Supergrass - Supergrass Is 10: The Best Of 1994-2004 - Review - Uncut.co.uk
It's puzzling—though oddly pleasing—fact that Supergrass amble towards their 10th anniversary as one of Britpop's few survivors, in spite of being among that benighted scene's least charismatic bands.
Amid all the self-aggrandising and hyperbole of the mid-'90s, Supergrass were praised chiefly for the singer's prodigious sideburns and, quaintly, the craftsmanlike handiness of their tunes.
Supergrass Is 10 highlights the enduring quality of these songs: simple, lyrically trite, often comically derivative, but sturdy and likeable enough to survive after Britpop had run its course.

 XTRAMSN: Supergrass Is 10
Unlike their co-Britpop spearheads, Blur and Oasis, Supergrass have never deserted their simple golden pop formula that sees such classics as "Caught By The Fuzz" still sound as fresh and relevant today as it did in 1994.
Supergrass Is 10: The Best of 94-04 is a timely reminder of just how many catchy hits they had since their breakthrough Britpop anthem "Alright", the video for which is rumoured to have had Steven Spielberg wanting to sign Supergrass as the 90s version of the hit 60s band The Monkees.
From the catchy pop of 'Grace' and the 'Sun Hits the Sky', to the dark punk-rock 'Caught by the Fuzz' and 'Richard III', and the acoustic numbers 'Moving' and 'Late in the Day' this album is far from your average greatest hits grind as it brilliantly captures all the Supergrass incarnations.

Like many other British bands of the '90s, Supergrass' musical roots lie in the infectiously catchy punk-pop of the Buzzcocks and the Jam, as well as the post-punk pop of Madness and the traditional Brit-pop of the Kinks and Small Faces.
With an exuberant, youthful enthusiasm, Supergrass tied all of their influences together in new surprising ways, where a Buzzcocks riff could slam into three-part harmonies out of "Crocodile Rock," or have a galloping music hall rhythm stutter like the best moments of the Who.
Consisting of guitarist/vocalist Gaz Coombes, bassist Mickey Quinn, and drummer Danny Goffey, Supergrass released their first single, the semiautobiographical "Caught by the Fuzz," in the summer of 1994 on the indie label Backbeat; Parlophone signed the band and reissued the single in the fall of the year.

 Supergrass at MSN Shopping
More across as a bunch of mates instead of serious musicians, Supergrass tended to be the most overlooked of all the major Britpop bands.
As they worked outside of the spotlight, they developed into a remarkably consistent singles band, as the generous 24-track 2004 collection Supergrass Is 10: The Best of 94-04 proves.
Where that album was a supremely confident, head-spinning musical kaleidoscope, splendidly shifting focus from track to track, Supergrass is down to earth, mellow, and unassuming.

Supergrass are an indie rock band from Oxford, England who were at their peak in the Britpop era of the mid-1990s.
Supergrass' origins lie in the band The Jennifers, (not to be confused with the American band of the same name), formed at Wheatley Park School, which featured a 16-year-old Coombes on vocals and Goffey (then 18) on drums.
Though, technically, Supergrass played their first live shows to a herd of cows next to Quinn's house, their first gig proper was at Jericho Tavern, Oxford to record company AandR people who attended following publicity generated by recording an acclaimed demo at Sawmills Studios in Cornwall.
