Pros: Some amazing songs--I'm a Man, A Little Soul, This is Hardcore and others... Cons: A few clunkers--Sylvia, Glory Days, The Day After the Revolution and no others...
Jarvis Cocker may not be regarded as one of the kindest souls in music, but the fact remains that in the 1990’s his band Pulp made some of the most creative and wonderful pop music to come out of Britain. Like him or not, it’s hard to resist his grand ...
Pros: A Brilliant, Dark Album from Pulp. Cons: None, Really.
Since forming in the early 80s in the U.K., Pulp has been of Britain’s most enduring bands that helped launched the early 90s Britpop movement. Led by Jarvis Cocker, Pulp had a revolving lineup that included keyboardist Candida Doyle, drummer Nick ...
Pulp’s sound doesn’t lend itself to American Pop sensibilities, which is probably why this Brit band is still woefully unknown here in these parts. Maybe you heard about the one-time antics of their lead singer, Jarvis Cocker, when he made a...
Pros: Several very accomplished tracks Cons: Some tracks don't quite match up with the rest

Pros: Jarvis Cocker's voice; smooth, creamy, catchy choruses Cons: gets too dark and over-the-top at times
Flash back one year: I read a letter to the editor in my local newspaper calling Pulp's "This is Hardcore" the 'album of the year.' This registers in my brain, along with the rest of the positive press I've heard about the newest Pulp album....
"You are Hardcore You make me hard" are the first words that come out of the Bowie like voice of Jarvis Cocker on the title track of This is Hardcore. It just doesn't stop there. "It's like I saw you in some teenage wet dream, I like...
Pros: Amazing composure, powerful lyrics Cons: Very depressing and sarcastic
