    I was very disappointed, as this album repeats the few bad moments on Black Cherry into endless repetition. God! This genre is SOOOO dead! At least if you don´t manage to add any melodic or creative elements into the basic electroclash-formula. It´s all noise and tweaks and very very boring... and not even funky enough to dance to.

    Mindnumbingly vapid, but well crafted and will sound good in your Camaro. Put simply, it has song titles that replace 'you' with "U," and 'to' with '2.' I can't wait for the next 2Unlimited record.

    pretty poor effort all round. At this rate they will sound like the Black Eyed Peas when LP4 comes around

    As an avid listener and appreciater of both Felt Mountain and Black Cherry, their lastest effort Supernature is insultingly commercial and accessible. Over half the songs are undeniably structured to be radio hits. Will Gregory himself was quoted saying that their latest work would "appeal more to radio this time around." They did it on purpose. I have tried so hard to get past this, but As an avid listener and appreciater of both Felt Mountain and Black Cherry, their lastest effort Supernature is insultingly commercial and accessible. Over half the songs are undeniably structured to be radio hits. Will Gregory himself was quoted saying that their latest work would "appeal more to radio this time around." They did it on purpose. I have tried so hard to get past this, but I simply cannot, and I often find myself not being able to finish some of the songs because they are so calculated and fashionable. Supernature belongs in fashion commericals, whereas their prior work belonged in the mountains.… Expand

    So the form of vaguely electroclash pop delivered with frighteningly robotic efficiency has been mastered, but the content itself is the problem.

    It's a curious, rather than classic, record - with the hooks to make the leap to the mainstream, but with enough residual oddness to maintain Goldfrapp's air of mystery a while longer.

    Supernature sounds brilliantly here and now. Less coldly perverse than Black Cherry, it's also a lot of fun. [Sep 2005, p.110]
