Heavily influenced by the Kinks, songs that never get old telling stories that make you laugh.
Customer Reviews for Different Class Cd
I missed out on this years ago...
Rating:
Back in the mid 90's, I dismissed Pulp as just another BritPop band. Come to find out, I was wrong. A good friend gave this to me as a CD exchange and I have to say that I'm thoroughly impressed.
The standout tracks are clearly (IMO) "Mis-Shapes", "Common People" and "I Spy". The music is rather jangly and at times has a distinctly dance-able beat. What won me over though were the lyrics. Jarvis Cocker manages to create a fantastic mental image to go along with his lyrics, which are alternately humorous and serious, occassionally silly ("Sorted for E's and Wizz") and vaguely malevolent ("I Spy"). Cocker's delivery is very basic - he doesn't have a lot of range, but he makes good use of his voice and some of the spoken parts of the songs send chills up my spine.
All in all, this is a great album. I wish that I'd given it a chance back in 1995.
