#1590 Turbo Fruits - Butter

With its straightforward, crunchy guitars and strained vocals, this is the album Supergrass would have made instead of Diamond Hoo Ha if they'd scaled back their ambition, which is a half-bankhanded compliment to everyone involved. The dead-simple, chugging riffage is fun, if wildly unoriginal.

You know what fucks this up for me? That album name / cover. If you're trucking in grit you gotta get the image right and the art completely undercuts any atmosphere the music builds up. It's about the complete package around here, folks 3/5
