| After spending a dark, contemplative night on the Road to Rouen, |
| Supergrass come crashing back to life with Diamond Hoo Ha, an |
| album every bit as cheerfully gaudy and vulgar as its title. It |
| all begins, as it should, with "Diamond Hoo Hah Man," a wicked |
| send-up of the White Stripes' gonzo thump that rivals "Blue |
| Orchid" and "Icky Thump" in its outsized swagger, while providing |
| the touchstone for the rest of the record, not so much in its |
| sound but in its attitude. Not that Supergrass doesn't crank the |
| guitars here, as they offer up the stomping Stooges shuffle of |
| "Bad Blood" and spangly "Rebel in You" in quick succession, but |
| after this furious opening triptych, the band widens their net and |
| lightens their touch, reconnecting with their signature impish |
| humor that was quite deliberately missing on much of Road to Rouen |
| despite its punning title. At times they actually overplay their |
| mischief, overloading "Whiskey and Green Tea" with too much |
| stylized British whimsy, it threatens to topple over on the weight |
| of its braying brass. This isn't the only time that the band |
| doesn't seem to fully have their urges under control, as there are |
| a few pop tunes toward the end of the record that don't quite |
| click as their hooks aren't finely honed. This is how Diamond Hoo |
| Ha differs from 2002's incandescent Life on Other Planets which |
| offered song after song that effortlessly dazzled. Here, |
| Supergrass seem to labor a little to achieve such high times...but |
| only toward the end of the record, which is solid and well-crafted |
| but lacking the glorious, giddy highs the band offers at the |
| beginning. However, that first half -- somewhat ironically ending |
| after the jazzy soft rock sheen of "Return of Inspiration" -- |
| holds its own with the best of Supergrass, filled with mammoth |
| melodies and unbridled fun. It's more than enough to make Diamond |
| Hoo Ha worth hearing, and it's just enough to illustrate the |
| difference (and the merits) between inspiration and craft. |
