I Should Coco is the debut studio album by English alternative rock band Supergrass, released on 15 May 1995 by Parlophone.

[2] Supergrass were formed in 1993 by Gaz Coombes, Mick Quinn and Danny Goffey, and they released their debut single, "Caught by the Fuzz", in October 1994 on the small independent local label Backbeat Records.

Gaz Coombes, Goffey, and Quinn had been playing gigs around Oxford when they were spotted by producer Sam Williams, who said he wanted to work with them.

The demo had also quickly reached EMI, however, and that led to the group being signed by the Parlophone label, which would re-release the two songs.

Quinn said "it took about three and a half months total recording time and cost less to make than the video for Alright.

"[6] A recording made at Carfax Tower in Oxford provided the bell chimes heard at the end of "Strange Ones".

We made I Should Coco so fast because we wanted to catch the energy and excitement of the songs on tape, and do it before the money ran out!

"[10] In a 2005 interview with BBC Radio London Quinn remembered "writing that song ['Time'] in my living room on a rainy day and Gaz sort of turned up with this chord sequence and we just went straight through it and just did it on 4 track".

[2] The front cover of the album is a painting based on three separate photos of Coombes, Goffey, and Quinn.

The photo consists of two separate shots grafted together because Quinn was "pulling a disgusting face in the original".

[13] Supergrass took this contemporary music and mixed it with pop-punk's characteristic fast, three-chord, guitar-based, catchy tunes to produce a sound uniquely their own; "we were just the three of us in my bedroom or someone's house, just making ... we played really hard and just made loads of noise.

Gaz Coombes told The Guardian in 2003, "We used to listen to it a lot when we lived in Cowley Road in Oxford in 1994, just when the band were getting big.

For example, there is the cheerful, fast, keyboard-augmented "I'd Like to Know", the guitar-driven punk narrative "Caught by the Fuzz", the mainly piano-based rhythm of the teen anthem "Alright", and the country music-influenced acoustic guitar in "Time to Go".

Overall, the album has been described as Britpop, influenced in equal parts by Buzzcocks and The Kinks, with strong hints of Supertramp in "She's So Loose", "Lose It" and the intro of "Strange Ones".

"[9] "Caught by the Fuzz" was based on a real-life event: Gaz Coombes's arrest and caution for possession of cannabis aged fifteen.

"[27] Culturally, the album's glorification of teenage freedom made a very big impact on the overall Britpop music scene.

The most well-known song from the album, "Alright", is still played regularly in Britain and Ireland, and held up as a musical example of teenage rebellion.

[36] The final release from the album, "Alright/Time", proved to be their breakthrough single, largely due to the popularity of the song "Alright".

[41][42] In a 2005 interview with The Times, Coombes said, "It's insane that people think we would ever sound like that again ... We're proud of 'Alright' and how well it did, but we never wanted to find a formula and stick to it.
