Super æ (sometimes written as Super Ae or Super Are) is the fifth full-length album by Boredoms, released in 1998. It was named the 44th greatest album of the 1990s by Pitchfork Media.[3]
The song "Super Coming" is an extended and redone version of "Mogo?" from the Wow 2 album.
The correct pronunciation of the album's title is often debated, although according to The New Yorker's pop-music critic Sasha Frere-Jones, group frontman Yamantaka Eye has stated that the correct articulation of the "æ" symbol is simply "ah" or "ugh".[4]
