According to the music press, supergrass fucked up bad or in the most moderate of terms, matured. A lot of people do not like their new album Road to Rouen, they feel it is not the same Supergrass they had come to love, this mature sound is now more pensive and heartrending.I do not feel this way, I love the new album. I for one had never conciously heard a Supergrass album before this, so I was unaware of their experimental and fun music. Hearing this album, specifically "Low C" and "St. Petersburg," was a moody and cathartic experience and it plucked on my fucking heart strings, it was a worn down, weathered sound. I applaud Supergrass for their change in style, optimistic fun only works for a while until you realize how truly cruel and sadistic this world really is.
