Supergrass - Life On Other Planets

I have never been a big Supergrass fan before, I have heard their first two records a couple of times but nothing really grabbed me, until Life On Other Planets, that is. The influences are easy to spot, such as T. Rex on Seen The Light for example, while others are not quite as obvious although early 80’s English post-punk and new wave seems to infuse their sensibilities along with some of the early British invasion groups. This is joyful power pop, full of energetic playing, great songs, lean arrangements, nice tight production and wonderful melodies to top it all off.

Here is the fuzzed out pop rocker Rush Hour Soul and the mellow, name dropping Prophet 15 which is one of my favorite tunes on the album.
