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.
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".
