The quirky, playful boys of Supergrass are back at it again with In It For the Money, the follow up to 1995's I Should Coco -- and they succeed in almost every way imaginable. Happier, louder, smarter, uglier... you name it and they deliver it with a smirk and a middle finger. This album subtly hints at Supergrass starting to stray from their punk roots, only to stumble upon a more creative and experimental palette. Right from the opening title track, you know these Brit-popsters mean business. Abrasive guitars, piercing cymbals, creative bass lines, and Yorke/Corgan-esque vocals fight for the spotlight, while you hop up and down the sidewalk. Varied from carefully constructed pop gems such as "Richard III", "Sun Hits the Sky", and "Tonight" to more light-hearted tracks such as "It's Not Me" and "Late In The Day", Supergrass fuse together a pop mutant that, in time, creeps its way to your heart.
