It includes the singles, 'Grace' \u0026amp; 'Never Done Nothing Like That Before'. EMI. 2002.\n\n\nAmazon.ca\n\n\nMuch was made of the \"maturity\" of Supergrass's previous album, so much that you'd expect their fourth,\nLife on Other Planets, to utterly abandon their summer-pop roots. Thankfully, this is not so. From the opening \"Za\", it's clear that they're keeping adulthood firmly at bay. With its jaunty piano, wailing backing vocals and 70s rock \u0026amp; roll guitars, it's so naturally ebullient you're forced to accept that Supergrass have a youthful feel-good factor in their genetic makeup. And this is far from a one-off example. \"Seen the Light\" returns to the breezy rush of \"Alright\", only with added birdsong, sheep-noises and Elvis impersonations, while \"Brecon Beacons\" is a racy ska-rock; its deadpan narrative warning us to watch out for Welsh witches. This fun-time feel continues through the distorted blitz and raucous chants of \"Never Done Nothing Like That Before\", the T-Rex rock of \"Funniest Thing\" and the comic electronics of \"LA Song\". And then, right at the end, they suddenly grow up--as if to prove they could if they wanted to. The penultimate \"Prophet 15\" is like a mellow cross between Pink Floyd's \"Wish You Were Here\" and the Beloved's \"Hello\", while the closing \"Run\" continues the Floyd theme with its oceanic cymbals, big, slow solo and sci-fi SFX. It's excellent stuff, fresh and varied. Age shall not wither them, it seems.\n--Dominic Wills\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 766489343525\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0724354180026\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51459970826537,"sku":"PD-H3J4-DPNJ","price":9.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/6225\/6681\/files\/51qJ_DpqtoL.jpg?v=1762031248","url":"https:\/\/konnichiwa.ca\/products\/life-on-other-planets","provider":"こんにちはマート | KON NICHIWA MART","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
