Supergrass Is 10 (2004)	Road to Rouen (2005)

Road to Rouen is the fifth studio album by English rock band Supergrass, released in the UK on 15 August 2005 (see 2005 in music). The album was recorded in a converted barn in Rouen, Normandy, and was a difficult album for the band due to personal reasons including Danny Goffey's tabloid ordeal and the death of the Coombes' mother.

The album naturally reflected a rough period for the band and as it was oriented towards longer, looser, more orchestral material. The record was highly acclaimed and well received by most fans of the band; it reached a respectable #9 on the UK charts. But some listeners were disappointed in the album, expecting the band's friskier style, rather than the darker lyrics (however, In It for the Money elicited a similar reaction).
