Super æ (sometimes written as Super Ae or Super Are) is the fifth studio album by Boredoms, released in 1998. It was named the 44th greatest album of the 1990s by Pitchfork. [1]
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". [2]

Ned Raggett of AllMusic gave the album 3 stars out of 5, saying: "Taking some more of the prog/Kraut influences that crept into earlier efforts while still firing up the amps all around, Eye and his cohorts (forming a core quintet this time around) once again become the most out-there band in the world." [3] Writing for The New Rolling Stone Album Guide, Douglas Wolk gave the album 4 stars out of 5. [5] He called it "a pounding, astounding psychedelic masterwork, the raw power of Boredoms' early records harnessed and directed into sustained riff-laden sun worship." [5]
