    An album of both phenomenal concentrated bits, as well as some disappointing gaps.

    While the depth of the band's musicianship and production skills continues to impress, Road To Rouen feels emotionally blank. [Sep 2005, p.111]

    The last decade has bled the band dry of energy and verve meaning that where once these songs would have been pop classics, now they’re tastefully tuneful AOR.
  5. Prefix Magazine
    50
    Shows off the group’s ability to transform into a neo-classic Brit-pop band, lush layers and dark undertones intact.

    Rouen is all long jams and breezy acoustics, the telltale signs of a band that feels it's time to sober up. [#70, p.110]

What makes Supergrass so good is their sheer song writingI don't understand all these Supergrass fans who are saying this album is boring. What makes Supergrass so good is their sheer song writing talent. This album contains some of my favorite songs. Sorry if it's not dancey enough for you. You've missed the point.… Full Review »
