BEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME IM SO SERIOUS
Ik heb dit album al eens eerder aangeslingerd, met de hoop dat er nog meer pareltjes als Common People op zou staan. Bleek helaas niet zo te zijn. Het is allemaal goed te luisteren, maar er zit te weinig jeu in. Common People is een enorme hit en niet weg te denken uit de Britpop. Verder kan ik weinig lichtpuntjes vinden. Underwear komt het dichtst bij. Rating: 6,5/10 Highlights: Common People, Underwear
Britpop als een bubbel in de moderne alternative rock scene is lastig te beoordelen op een bredere schaal, vind ik. Daarom is het extra handig dat we net Oasis achter de rug hebben, om het langs die lat te kunnen leggen. Pulp vind ik altijd een beetje 'so so', waar de melodieën van de band met de enigmatische frontman me wel kunnen bekoren, maar dat diezelfde frontman met z'n over de top romantische (lees: creepy) toon me soms ook best wel de kriebels geeft. Dit album etaleert beide kanten van de medaille. Het verschil tussen de matige en ronduit perverse songs als 'I Spy' en 'Live Bed Show', en de highlights is immens. Dat 'Common People' - in mijn ogen één van de beste songs van de 90s - zo vroeg op het album langskomt, komt de plaat niet ten goede. De rest voelt al snel als mosterd na de maaltijd. Toch zorgen nummers als 'Disco 2000', 'Sorted For E's & Wizz' en het vunzige doch aanstekelijke 'Underwear' toch nog even voor een dopamine hit, nadat je dacht dat die rush al wel over was na 'Common People'. Ondanks dat het album echt wel diverser is dan het debuut van Oasis, is hij veel minder consistent. Maar de de highs zijn ook wel zo high dat een dikke voldoende op z'n plaats is. 7/10 Highlights: Common People Sorted For E's & Wizz Underwear
Kort en krachtige review. Krachtig album uit een tijd waarin veel fenomenale albums geboren zijn. Echte britpopklassieker en ook genoten van de minder bekende hits. Toch zijn Common People en Disco 2000 wel de echte bangers. 8/10 Highlights Common People Disco2000
meh
Disco 2000 is a banger
I expect it would be unfair to dismiss this record as being a product of the already cliched Britpop movement, this being released at the peak of said phenomenon, as well being temperamentally buoyant and gregariously British. It sounds like Pulp as a band had been around quite a while already and had arrived at this creative identity fortuitously. The record still does feel very well rooted in the landscape of the era, like part of a maniacally invasive species of plant enveloping the ecology until its self-begot extinction. Even if this record was not one of the noxious weeds, it's hard to distinguish it from the rest. Coincidentally, and unfortunately for Pulp I hate Oasis!
Wow. I just... really did not like this. Made me feel not good.
No strong opinions on this one.
some pretty great songs. the singer reminds me a lot of bcnr a lot
Always loved Common People when it came on, surprised in hindsight I never checked these guys out more closely...90s Britpop really was a thing!
I'm not sure I've ever really heard Pulp before, and wasn't quite sure what to make of the opening song (and its video that has an incredible roadkill-fascinating quality), but the album definitely grew on me as listened more. I'm not sure I really know what Britpop sounds like, but I'm glad this doesn't really remind me of Oasis or Blur all that much. This may have been a one-off-greatness by them, but I'm glad to have heard the album, and watched those fascinating videos (mainly "Mis-Shapes" and "Common People"). I also appreciated reading the Wikipedia entry, largely to find out the backstory for the album title and also the album cover (or at least the wedding photo cover, as I guess early issues had multiple CD covers to choose from). I also feel like this is what The Divine Comedy was shooting for with their album "Casanova".
Wow, seriously great album. Sorry I missed out on Pulp when they first came out--they're terrific. First time new-to-me music reminded me of David Bowie.
Flight of the conchords?
“If fashion is your trade, then when you’re naked I guess you must be unemployed” Some ups, some downs, some hanky panky
Britpop is the most 6/10 genre in existence. This is the exception.
enjoyed throughout
That was pretty good, but not super memorable.
I have never listened to this album all the way through. Its now time!! I had not heard the opening 2 tracks before but thought they were superb, leading into the brilliant common people. Something changed was a really good track. Favourite song: Common people and disco 2000 are classics. Least favourite: Every song on this album is really good. Album artwork: Iconic cover This is a 5/5 for me. Really good album.
Finally! A Brit pop album I liked.
Very annoying vocals, mediocre lyrics
My first thought was "David Bowie fronts the Pixies" but after a few songs I was surprised. This album is all over the place. By the time "Underwear" started I realized I should have paid closer attention to the lyrics. It could grow on me, possibly...
Reminds me of Claire <3
Some solid Britpop.
God. I think Pulp are sadly one of the most overrated British bands. This is their pinnacle and it's still pretty shite. Take away Common People and Disco 2000 and it's a horrible album seemingly written by a perv. How the hell these headlined Glasto is beyond me. 2* for the aforementioned two songs.
Favourite songs: Disco 2000, Common People, Sorted for E's & Wizz Least favourite songs: I Spy, F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E. 2/5
this is a 3.5 rounded up
I loved this album!
Okay-a bit too boppy
Holy smokes! This record is a masterpiece of Britpop, I absolutely love the style of the witty lyrics. The riffs are catchy, and each track delivers a mix of humor and poignancy. The whole album feels very alive. Sexy, dancey, beautiful music. Easy 5.
Breakthrough art, one of the greatest albums of all time.
Not my taste. Theme seemed to be seductive breathy rock. I enjoyed Common People but the other tracks melded together for me.
Very Bowie like
i couldn't make it through the first song of this whiney, jangly mess.
3.4
Genuine class. A really great album, definitely belongs in the top echelon of this already select group.
I had fun listening to this album. In the end it will not one of my favorites. 4/5
Misshapes good Pencil skirt alright Common people really good I spy great Disco 2000 a little long Live bed show really good Something changed really good Sorted for e’s and wiz forgettable
Good stuff
Good. I mostly ignored Pulp in the 90s. I dint turn them off, just didn't seek them out. But listening now, there are some very good songs. And some good ones too. I'll listen again.
Idk, the peppers were in the oil and i didnt hear it very well
### In-Depth Review of "Different Class" by Pulp "Different Class," released in 1995, is the fifth studio album by the British band Pulp. This seminal work not only propelled the band to the forefront of the Britpop movement but also stands as a landmark in British music history. This review delves into the album's lyrics, music, production, themes, and influence, while weighing its pros and cons. #### Lyrics Jarvis Cocker's lyrics on "Different Class" are a highlight, brimming with wit, observation, and social commentary. The album paints a vivid picture of British society, particularly focusing on class struggles, sexual politics, and the mundanity of everyday life. 1. **Social Commentary**: Songs like "Common People" epitomize Pulp's incisive take on class distinctions. The narrative of a wealthy girl wanting to experience life as the "common people" do is a sharp critique of class tourism and the superficial understanding of poverty by the privileged. Lines like "You'll never live like common people / You'll never watch your life slide out of view" starkly contrast lived experiences with romanticized notions of working-class life. 2. **Sexual Politics**: Tracks such as "Pencil Skirt" and "Underwear" explore themes of sexual desire and relationships with a raw honesty. Cocker’s delivery is both provocative and vulnerable, providing a nuanced look at the complexities of human sexuality. 3. **Everyday Life**: "Disco 2000" and "Mis-Shapes" capture the essence of growing up in a working-class environment, highlighting feelings of alienation and the longing for escape. The lyrics resonate with universal themes of youth, rebellion, and the search for identity. #### Music The music on "Different Class" is an eclectic mix of styles, seamlessly blending elements of pop, rock, disco, and new wave. This musical diversity is one of the album's strengths, providing a rich and varied listening experience. 1. **Instrumentation**: The instrumentation on the album is both inventive and accessible. From the anthemic keyboards in "Common People" to the jangly guitars in "Disco 2000," Pulp creates a soundscape that is both familiar and fresh. The use of synthesizers and orchestration adds depth to the arrangements, enhancing the emotional impact of the songs. 2. **Melody and Harmony**: The album's melodies are catchy and memorable, often juxtaposed with darker lyrical themes. This contrast is particularly effective in tracks like "Something Changed" and "Live Bed Show," where the sweet melodies belie the underlying melancholia of the lyrics. 3. **Rhythm and Groove**: The rhythmic elements of the album, particularly the bass lines and drum patterns, are integral to its appeal. Songs like "I Spy" and "F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E." demonstrate Pulp's ability to create grooves that are both danceable and introspective. #### Production Produced by Chris Thomas, who had previously worked with artists like the Beatles and Sex Pistols, "Different Class" boasts a polished yet edgy production. The production choices contribute significantly to the album's timeless quality. 1. **Sound Quality**: The album's sound quality is excellent, with a crisp and clear mix that allows each instrument to shine. The production balances the raw energy of the performances with a polished finish, making the songs radio-friendly without sacrificing their authenticity. 2. **Atmosphere**: Thomas's production creates a cohesive atmosphere throughout the album, despite the variety of musical styles. The use of reverb and echo effects on Cocker's vocals, for instance, adds a sense of intimacy and urgency to the songs. 3. **Innovative Techniques**: The production includes some innovative techniques, such as the use of ambient sounds and unusual recording methods. These add an extra layer of texture to the music, making repeated listens rewarding as new details emerge. #### Themes The themes of "Different Class" are deeply intertwined with its lyrical content, providing a rich tapestry of ideas and emotions. 1. **Class Struggle**: The most prominent theme is class struggle, explored in almost every song. "Common People" is the centerpiece of this exploration, but other tracks like "Mis-Shapes" and "I Spy" also delve into issues of social inequality and disenfranchisement. 2. **Sex and Relationships**: Another major theme is sex and relationships, depicted with a frankness that was groundbreaking at the time. Cocker's exploration of these themes is neither gratuitous nor sentimental; instead, it is characterized by a candid realism that resonates with listeners. 3. **Alienation and Identity**: The themes of alienation and the search for identity are also prevalent. Songs like "Sorted for E's & Wizz" and "Live Bed Show" reflect the disillusionment of a generation searching for meaning in a rapidly changing world. #### Influence "Different Class" has had a profound influence on both the Britpop genre and the broader landscape of British music. 1. **Britpop Movement**: The album was a defining moment for Britpop, influencing contemporaries like Blur and Oasis. Its success helped to solidify Britpop as a dominant force in the 1990s music scene, characterized by its emphasis on British culture and working-class sensibilities. 2. **Cultural Impact**: Beyond its musical influence, "Different Class" has had a lasting cultural impact. Its incisive social commentary and exploration of class issues resonated with a wide audience, making it a touchstone for discussions about British society in the 1990s. 3. **Legacy**: The album's legacy is evident in its continued popularity and critical acclaim. It is frequently included in lists of the greatest albums of all time and remains a reference point for new generations of musicians and fans. #### Pros and Cons **Pros**: 1. **Lyrical Depth**: The album's lyrics are intelligent, poignant, and relatable, offering sharp social commentary and emotional resonance. 2. **Musical Diversity**: The varied musical styles keep the album engaging from start to finish, showcasing Pulp's versatility. 3. **Production Quality**: The production is top-notch, striking a perfect balance between polish and raw energy. 4. **Cohesive Themes**: The recurring themes of class struggle, sex, and alienation give the album a strong sense of identity and purpose. 5. **Influence and Legacy**: Its impact on the Britpop movement and British culture at large solidifies its status as a classic. **Cons**: 1. **Pacing Issues**: Some listeners might find the album's pacing uneven, with a few slower tracks potentially disrupting the overall flow. 2. **Niche Appeal**: The heavy emphasis on British cultural references may make some of the themes and lyrics less accessible to international audiences. 3. **Production Choices**: While innovative, some of the production techniques may sound dated to modern listeners, particularly the use of certain synthesizer sounds. 4. **Cocker's Vocal Style**: Jarvis Cocker's distinctive vocal delivery, characterized by its theatricality and idiosyncrasies, may not appeal to all listeners. ### Conclusion "Different Class" by Pulp is a masterpiece that captures the zeitgeist of 1990s Britain while addressing universal themes of class, sex, and identity. Its lyrical brilliance, musical diversity, and high production quality make it a standout album in the Britpop genre and beyond. Despite minor flaws in pacing and niche appeal, its influence and legacy are undeniable, cementing its place in the pantheon of great albums. Whether you're a fan of Britpop or a newcomer to Pulp's music, "Different Class" offers a compelling listening experience that continues to resonate nearly three decades after its release.
Such a fun listen. Slice of life lyrics, fun instrumentation, interesting songwriting choices. Going to be added into regular rotation for sure
If the Kinks had gotten their start in the 90s, this is probably what they would have sounded like—and that is a compliment. “Common People” is an all time great social satire.
Brit rock
Light British pop-punk
Pretty good, though at times too British and too horny. Overall solid Britpop album.
Very Good. Reminded of Bowie. Maybe Brit pop ain’t so bad after all eh
Most songs can be listened to, with a couple solid tracks, the most noteworthy being 'Disco 2000'. As a whole, the album is pretty solid and enjoyable to listen to, and it would work great for a soundtrack. Although an individual song on its own doesn't sound that great, they create a neat melodramatic vibe when played one after the other. Not great, but still good.
Pretty good. The kind of Britpop I like. It can get pretty cheesy, but they clearly have an interesting perspective. I can't think of other artists at the time quite like them.
nice
Not bad at all - I find that they're charismatic enough for me to tolerate the more artsy bits that I'd normally find irritating
Not being a Brit pop aficionado or even fan really, Pulp isn’t a band I have much experience with. My first ever Pulp memory is actually a really good colleague singing Disco 2000 on a karaoke night and he did a killer job. This album is voyeuristic and lascivious in a way that makes me slightly uncomfortable. There are lots of interesting hooks and it’s got catchy music, no doubt. I understand this album is the high watermark of Pulp’s career, and I can see why. I do love the album cover. It perfectly represents so much of the classism the band grapples with in these songs. There’s lots of misogyny in the lyrics too though, and I don’t care for that at all. Conflicted on this one. I’ll split the difference and go with a neutral 3 I think. Seems fair.
Very solid album with a lot of nostalgia for me. Going to put it on the 5 side of 4.5. Some really great tracks and the whole album is easy to listen to.
I must be one of the many people who only knows pulp from common people. This album took me by surprise and I damn myself for sleeping on this. This is great and feel like they've been a big influence on MGMT which is a great thing
Favourite tracks: mishaps; common people; disco 2000
Yeah i dont know. Britpop is really not for me.
Up there with blur and oasis great album
Some pulp classics on here
bien fokin serio 9/10
Thoroughly enjoyable listening experience, but then again, I found this album about 2 years ago and started listening to it with some regularity. Will give it 4 stars... but Common People is being added to my favorite play-list on Spotify!!!
Das ist nicht meine Musik. Einige Songs sind am Anfang vielleicht noch interessant, aber dann doch eher langweilig. konnte ich nicht zuende höhren.
Really like some songs from the album but have never listened to its entirety, it’s really solid but not my personal favourite
Pretty interesting but not really my style. I thought the lyrics were the best part exploring different tropes of life involving sexual relationships and class separation. Nice additions of orchestra in some songs and very big sounds. The singer has a cliche singing style that gets old pretty quickly but is made up by his lyrics.
My poor ears
Didn’t really care for it tbh
Day136 - much more brit pop on here than i expected. i liked this better than blur not as much as oasis
Not really my speed but not terrible.
It's from the Brit Pop era, but being led by an ironic crooner styled frontman in Jarvis Cocker, they always stood out a little. I love the storytelling, the wit and sense of provocative drama, the dark seediness and sexual fantasy, the little details of people's lives, the ironic posing and vocal phrasing. And musically, they sure know how to build the songs up from a simple riff to a euphoric climax. They also manage to be funny and touching at the same time, mainly because there is a sense of empathy for the characters in the songs. 30 years on this clever album still sounds amazing and it's another contender for best ever album on this list.
Bit of a guilty pleasure of mine
Great album all the song are really strong, groovy and funny. It's a story book of love, frustration and parties from the master story teller of the brit pop era. Its also a slice of 90s working class life its dreams, fears and asspirations. The likes of which mr Alburn or the Gallagher brothers were never able to articulate.
Bitpop winner, great album
The relief of a familiar album! Not having to wade through an obscure 80s, cheesy 50s or acid-drenched 70s album. 5 stars because I would choose to just put it on from time to time all by myself. I like the lyrics (although the creepy ones go a bit too far sometimes) and the tunes are interesting and catchy.
I wasn't really into Pulp during the mid-90s, sure Common People and Disco 2000 were instant classics, but for whatever reason I wrote them off at the time and never listened to this album. Last year on the 1001, we had "This Is Hardcore" come up, which I quite enjoyed. So, finally time to give "Different Class" its due... and it did not disappoint, great tunes, great social commentary, great album!
Something about Jarvis's writing and delivery really irks me, especially the little bursts of desperate faux-sincerity he throws out to justice an awkward rhyme or give some life to the monotony. Its over-identification with the working class underdog to the point of phoniness, even smug superiority. But there are definitely some nostalgic tunes here, I just hate having to listen to more than ten minutes of it.
A wonderful album!
Fantastic album capturing the feel & sound of working class mid 90s Britain, Common People & Disco 2000 are real classics although tbh the record doesn't really have any terrible tracks on it. Highly recommended
As always with Britpop albums, there’s some pretty solid Britpop songs on this. Some of them are even arguably great, or at least I imagine they’d feel epic when used in a music soundtrack or something. In theory, I like this record’s concept critiquing posh culture and bourgeois/upper crust snobbery. There’s a handful of songs I’d add to a playlist or two. But a lot of this just feels too British for my tastes, and also a bit too forced. The hooks feel forced, the insights feel forced, the playing feels forced. Maybe I wouldn’t add them to a playlist, but they wouldn’t kill my vibe if they were on my friend’s playlist. Then again, some songs are also obnoxious, and overly British, and overly snarky in a way that annoys me, like a drunk self-proclaimed Communist who corners you at a dinner party to talk about theory. I wouldn’t buy this album for myself, but I also wouldn’t tolerate a friend playing it at a dinner party, either. Maybe I’m just exhausted with Britpop at this point, maybe I just don’t like this particular album, but I’m never going to revisit this for a full listen ever again. One time was a chore in itself. I think this is just not to my taste, even if it seems like it would be on paper (see, Commie, praxis v. theory). But I’m also not stupid. “Common People” is one of the greatest songs ever written. That alone warrants this album’s praise. And the rest of it, while lesser, is certainly good enough to argue some level of essential listening.
Brilliant, brilliant album. Common People, Disco 2000, Mis-shapes and Underwear are the standout tracks, but the rest of the album is good enough to have been lead singles from most other bands in that period. Very close to a perfect album for me.
Went into this one with low expectations. Really enjoyed it though! Some banging tunes on there 4 ⭐️
Brilliance
sucked
I thought I was really going to like this :(
ekki slæmt. þarf líklega aðra umferð enda gáfumannapoppsskotið. 3,5.
I had never heard of Pulp before, but enjoyed this album. While I wouldn't put them on my list of favorite Britpop bands, it was nice to hear the clear influence of New Wave and Punk. The music is a bit better than there lyrics, although there are some good lines in there. Overall, a fun listen.
That's a proper album. Good addidtion to the list. Kinda odd, but good vibes. You could even say it's... different class.
I have zero recollection of this album from 1995. After listening to it I can’t say I will have a lot of recollection in 2025. I enjoyed the listen. It reminded of post-Labyrinth Bowie meets OMD. Key songs were I Spy and Common People. I’m not sure I would look for this again though.
Meh. I know I'm supposed to be intrigued by Jarvis slumming it with the Common People. Maybe I'm too basic to get this class exploration. Maybe I'm too American. Anyway, Common People is a fun song but the rest I could do without.
Mis-Shapes - 3 Pencil Skirt - 2 Common People - 2.5 I Spy - this album is kinda rapey 2 Disco 2000 - 3 Live Bed Show - 3 this dude needs a girlfriend Something Changed - 2.5 Sorted for E's & Wizz - 3?

Good stuff
There's something about this that just washes over me. Maybe the production needs more bite to it, but the songs aren't very interesting either. Multiple 6-minute songs that don't need to be that long either. If I'm being honest, I don't want to listen to this again. Common People is pretty good, though.
I kind of enjoyed this one. I'm sympathetic towards the 90s.
Good but not great. The singer is obviously influenced by David Bowie. I don't like that way of singing. Favorite song: common people
Fun album. I love the lazy vocal of Jarvis Cocker and the lyrics and music. Is great!
2.25 per track. Good god, stop with this type of album!!
last year i had a season ticket to burnley fc and developed a tradition of listening to pulp (and in particular this album) on my way to games. for those that dont follow football: we did very very well. this year i havent had a season ticket and have not listened to pulp on the way to the few games ive made it to. weve been absolute dross. great album though.
already know this one. intimately. as in i have the dvd! favorites: mis-shapes, f.e.e.l.i.n.g.c.a.l.l.e.d.l.o.v.e. (i like it because it reminds me of like a friend), bar italia and also common people coz ofc.. i didn't love underwear or pencil skirt(although that line about i kissed your mother twice and working on your dad is kind of funny).. not perfect but pretty good!
I'm sorry to be consistently down on these 80's and 90's BritPop bands. But they do nothing to me. Musically it is OK. Vocally, there's nothing captivating about them. Lyrically? Maybe it was less cringeworthy when it was new, if you were in UK. The more I worked through the album, the less I liked it. Whatever, 3/5
I am going to be kind and round up to 3 from 2.5, since they had a couple of songs that I liked. Some of their songs just seemed to make no sense though.
Nothing too bad or nothing too great
Very nice album, thought they sounded great, production was really good. Loved the stories the songs told, tracks 1, 3, and 5 were my personal favorites. Didn't love how preoccupied they seemed to be with sex although they were telling stories about people and society so I suppose that makes sense. Very solid album.
hard pass-the vocals are awful. do not understand the hype with them. yes, frontman sounds bit like Bowie, but the droning/talking/mumbling are boring & so is the overly stylized music. no thanks at all. 1.5 stars
Drowning, mishmash of the same sounding songs over again. Feel like Jarvis cocker trying so hard to be Morrissey it hurts. Not for me. 2/5
Liked some songs, others were ok. Didn't care for some of the lyrics.
Brilliant
Had a great time with this. Some real keepers from the album that I look forward to re-listening to in the future. I'm not sure has a huge range as an album, so it's not the most exciting thing to listen to from start to finish. Still a big fan, though!
Absolute surprise. What an album.
one of the great in nineties
Pulp is my #1 Britpop band. Oasis can shove it
Good album.
Even the good songs would have been much better if they were sung by someone else. Incessant droning.
The album starts strong and never lowers the level. On top it has got the hit-singles "Common People" and "Disco 2000". Very diversified. Fun to listen to every single time. Britpop at it´s best. Simply a "Different Class" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ While I actually own this one as a CD I'd like to give extra credit to the Cover-Concept and Artwork with the picture frame and all the different fotos.
Jarvis Cocker is the most charismatic frontman in rock since Bowie. He possesses everything an American could love about an Englishman: snark, wit, upper-class sensibility, sex, and of course the accent. The music tends towards grandiosity and theatrics, often hinging on some of the best executed bridge-to-chorus transitions in pop. The lyrics tend towards commentary on the British, society, the turn of the century, sex, and just about anything else Jarvis felt like. Who else gets away with his many "la la la"s? You've never heard scathing critique until you hear how Jarvis characterizes his countrymen in Mis-Shapes. Listen to the elation at the climax of Common People (it's tragic the radio version for this even exists), building off those little guitar and piano parts. Notice at the end of I Spy how in control of your emotions Jarvis was the entire time. Disco 2000 is an 80s pop-punk song published in the 90s. Jarvis writes more character development over the course of Something Changed than you'll see in most novels, showing the power of love on causality. You could find Sorted For E's & Whizz on a George Harrison or Bowie best-of, with an honest look at the qualities of drug-induced euphoria. In FEELINGCALLEDLOVE Jarvis sheds the Hallmark trappings of Valentines Day love in favor of raw sexual desire, wonderfully executing a soft-loud dynamic with layers of singing, moaning, sultry narration, and crooning to depict the physical love he is imaging alongside dramatic synth-strings and guitars. Underwear does a lot with just it's commentary on one-night stands (intense physical desire to fuck, regret afterwards) but the chorus throws in Jarvis' own voyeuristic desires and the song has a whole new layer that you can even extrapolate to the modern porn industry. The first chorus of Monday Mornings teases you before it finally pays off later in the track, while the lyrics of the song hammer home of banality even party every night can bring.
A classic, every track is great. Awesome!
This album, literally, is different class
Goed goed
3.5 Wasn't previously familiar with anything this album or these guys by name, but happy to have heard them. That being said, I was a little bit bored. Maybe it will grow on me with future listens (added Mis-Shapes, Common People, and Disco 2000 to the rotation) but for now slightly north of fine is the best I can do.
Several enjoyable old tunes here. Good to hear them again.
Great album to be a bit drunk, pop headphones on and have a dance around your room Best Song: Mis-Shapes Worst Song: Pencil Skirt
Wish I could give this masterpiece 500 stars
Brilliant from start to finish. The singles are massive - we'll come to Common People, but let's pause to acknowledge Something's Changed, Disco 2000, Underwear, Es and Whizz and Mis-Shapes - and it's well backed up by songs like L.O.V.E (I ain't typing that out in full Jarvis, no-one has time for that). It's a testament to an era, and to a counter-culture to the laddish glorification of normcore happening elsewhere. Pulp are knowingly weird, subversive and un-alpha, and I love them for it. And finally, it's become a cliché to love Common People I assume, but get the record, stick on the full length version, and glory in the total evisceration of poverty tourism, told through some of the starkest, most brutal poetry known to man. It's magnificent, and this particular listen has put it back into my own personal conversation for the GOAT song.
Common people bangs, the album art bangs, the rest was fine too
Ich hörte dieses Album ohne zu wissen wer Pulp ist. Bei „Common People“ und „Disco 2000“ dann der Aha!-Effekt: Lieder kennt man aus dem Radio, Bandname hat man keinen blassen Schimmer. Stellenweise ein wenig wie Bowie, alles in allem OK.
Guter Britischrock mit zwei Klassesongs
I fw this
I don't get the fuss about this album.
Another album that proves this album was compiled by people with bland tastes... Good lord how can these UK acts be so bad all the time.
The more upbeat songs have all been played to death on the radio and are pretty boring. But the more mellow and melancholic songs are really good. Especially I Spy. so good.
Not bad!
common (people) w
Was familiar with some of the songs, but was never aware who the band was. Some pretty good songs on this album. Some songs I definitely didn't like.
"common people" gives this album an additional star
joa
Better than a lot of the Brit schlock on here, but not especially compelling to my ears.
Good background noise, 4 or 5 stars
Better than most of the britpop on this list
I’d never heard of them before. Not sure I’d listen to them again.
Solid British 90's rock. Unfortunately I didn't find it groundbreaking or something where a lot of the songs stuck out to me. Easy enough to listen to but something I probably won't come back to any time soon.
I enjoyed this one. Had some bops. I thought it over used a certain tone and chord progression which made some of the songs feel way too similar.
Zzz zzz 2/5
A little too pervy at times for me. This didn't age well, if it was even good at one point. 2/5
very entertaining. i added a few songs to my playlist, but overall not a vibe I'd really enjoy on a regular
I have heard of the band Pulp but have never really listened to them. This was a nice surprise. The frontman Jarvis Cocker's voice reminds me of David Bowie. I can also hear Mikel Jollett from The Airborne Toxic Event. I enjoyed what I heard. Some very nice britpop.
It's very very good, more than a 4.5. One of the finest examples of britpop.
Blind album and artist. Not enjoying this one and I don't know why... just not my thing...
Mis-Shapes: ‘’The future’s owned by you and me’’ très britpop Common People: ‘’I said, in that case I’ll have rum and Coca-Cola’’ I like the beat of this one (synth) chansons que t’écoutent en voiture la fenêtre ouverte I Spy: l’histoire lol j’aime le beat par contre, mystérieux et puis il crie presque c’est bien parfois je trouve que les paroles se chantent bien
it's like a nightmare, you're hanging from the gallows, struggling for air and the hangman is laughing at you and then you grow up. You think oh shit and ask yourself what was that, then you hear it in the background, that nasal voice of Jarvis Cocker. I can't eat enough, I want to puke like crazy. Minus one star!!!
Loved it
Just terrific. Every track a winner.
admitting with a HEAVY sigh that some great art can still come from that worthless slab of an island.
WHORE ❤️
Best Brit rock album of the 90’s
nice easy listening but not that "exciting" to me
ooo la la. This music is sexy, catchy, and pulpy. It's got a good beat and I can dance to it. Common People is a great song. One of my fav's. There is a version of William Shatner doing the vocals which is worth checking out.
Love it! This album is freaking awesome. It’s catchy and broody and dancy and sexy and hopeful and lustful and just all the things. I was familiar with a couple of the songs, but damn, this whole thing is just perfection to me.
Common People was transcendent, the rest of the album was solid enough to vibe with the whole time. Great experience.
Nope.
made me want to listen to bowie. some songs were fine. overall it just felt really basic, nothing interesting or unique
Me encanta!
Refreshing after the last couple crappy albums. Solid, a good sound, but not many super memorable tracks 3* Highlights: common people
I like Disco 2000 and I expected something less mellow based on that. Left me cold.
Just ok
It's the moody other brother of Oasis and Blur. Darker and a bit more punky than lush, it didn't capture the same interest from me. 2.5/5
Its was good! I really liked it. Pop.
Not bad. Better than a lot of Brit Rock this has given me.
4/10 didn't leave an impression
Album # 49
No. At first it sounded ok, but then the songs started to all sound the same. The tracks don’t feel all that special. The singing is terrible as well. It tries to be weird with its lyrics and vocals, but it just doesn’t work. Other people might like this, but I don’t.
What an absolute banger of an album. The gritty, lower-class Brit Pop of Pulp (and Blur) is so good.
They hit the right kind of manic energy that really drives the music forward. Lyrics are a bit dodgy maybe, but overall a very nice experience
Felt almost too grandiose at times I guess? Maybe I'm just a little tired of all the britpop that I've been getting lately. "Common People" and "Disco 2000" do stand out, though.
Like Roger Waters or Bowie. Very chill but great melodies and Common People sounds straight out of Bowie's discography. One of the better 90s British Pop/Rock bands I've heard
Pretty cool stuff! I knew Common People, but their other songs are good too.
With all the truly great albums made by truly talented musicians, how the hell does some of this crap make it to this list?
This album was surprising and subversive. I was completely creeped out by Pencil Skirt. I’d listen again, for sure - this is a layered work and has me intrigued.
El pop grandilocuente con ciertas dosis de histrionismo que caracteriza los trabajos de Pulp alcanzan en "Different Class" altas cotas de calidad. Sus melodías aquí, impulsadas por sus abundantes sintetizadores, son pegadizas. Y las temáticas desarrollada por Jarvis Cocker giran en torno al sexo y la clase social. Destaca el que fue su gran éxito, "Common People", sobre una chica rica que se excita sexualmente viviendo en los barrios bajos. Pero contiene otro puñado de canciones que merecen más de una escucha, como la brillante "Disco 2000", la dolida balada "Underwear", "Monday Morning" o la sensual "I Spy". También me gusta la cuasi existencial y conmovedora "Something Changed", sobre las decisiones que cambian nuestro destino en la vida.
I enjoy the British rock scene, and I liked this album.
piaciuto molto
#166. This was painfully British. Yikes, dude. The only good part of it is the knowing that since I've never once heard or even heard of this is the past 29 years, it's unlikely I'll ever have to hear it again. 2/5: terrible Song added to playlist: Bar Italia I've created a playlist on Spotify that consists of the best and/or my favorite song from each of the albums in this book.

Люди пишут, что вокалист поет грязные песни про любовь, но мне то что? Я в текст особо не вслушиваюсь, а музыка замечательная, пусть и немного устаревшая и не особо врезающаяся в голову. Хороший рок.
…haven’t listened to this whole album for about twenty years , it was my least favourite pulp album back then , and still is . The four big epic clever pop hits are amazing classics, but the rest of the album bores me !
Avoided this at the time as it was everywhere and heard it at every student disco night. I enjoyed the kitchen sink drama style lyrics - very relatable and familiar. Not one I'll go back to but not one I'm going to avoid anymore.
I can't do anything with the 90s, now I know why again.
Pulp Too much low creepy singing/ whispering in my ears. I am really tired of this style of singing.I don’t really get the Brit pop thing. Sounds just like the 80’s English rock but it’s 1995? Best songs: common people
Weird, intense and creepy. One point for really leaning into it but once is enough for me.
I totally forgot about Common People and I love the bridge into chorus. The whole album gives villain vibes. I think his creepy voice would be fine if he didn’t overuse it. I hope the rapey things were role play and consent was given before
Had no idea what to expect from this album. I knew of Pulp by name only, not by sound. I knew “Common People” because William Shatner covered it once. But that’s about where it ended. I thought this was great. A few words come to mind - horny, eclectic, dirty, mischievous. It twists and turns into a ton of different directions. At times I thought I heard a Bowie influence in there. It’s 90’s Brit Pop without the whiny voice and more hard rock/60’s and 70’s influence. And it’s fun. I had a great time with this album. Easy 4 stars. Could be five if I listen to it again and really take to it. Standout tracks: Mis-Shapes, Pencil Skirt, Common People, Disco 2000, Underwear, Bar Italia
Not my cup of tea. Everything sounds very dull and bland. It seems to have potential, but in rare glimpses of inspiration, sadly, the irritating, ASMR-like, whispering vocals just ruin it. And when he really tries to sing it's just underwhelming. "Live Bed Show" could be a classic. Very beautiful melody, but with a souless execution. The album is worth the experience, though. Maybe if you insist, it could grow on you, but I don't see the point in doing that.
This isn't my usual style to listen to but I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. This surprises me. Interesting combination of styles of music and it makes sense that it's '90s, sounds like it.
Love the variety in song style. Fun!
Catchy, melodic, interesting songs. Reminds me of another band, but I'm not sure which one. Happy to listen again.
Fantastic. What Britpop should be.
it's so britpop...
aight rich people really love feeling poor listening too this fuck me.
Liked common people, rest was just ok
Pretty repetitive (kind of like "Bright Eyes"), but not unenjoyable. Very much British alternative rock of a certain moment.
On some songs, I couldn’t decide if this band wanted to be like Phantom of the Opera or Michael Jackson’s thriller album. It’s not the worst we’ve heard, but it’s not great.
Some decent songs but couldn’t really get into it.
Not bad, had a few catchy songs.
I didn’t buy this album immediately but after hearing the great hit singles from it I eventually bought it. Overall a good album which I still like. Feeling Called Love (easier to type minus the full stops!) is for me the standout track and one I never tire of. It’s of its time particularly some of the lyrics which must drive some of the modern woke’ists mad. My opinion of Pulp is largely derived from regularly listening to Jarvis Cocker on a Sunday afternoon. Not only did he play a lot of good music (and for me discoveries) but he came across as a thoroughly decent chap. His lyrics to me are observations of what goes on in real life in thoughts and deeds and not necessarily attributable to him. At the time whilst Oasis and Blur were battling it out, Pulp were at the other end of the spectrum making different and original music and this album is a fine example of this. If asked to explain what Britpop was all about then I would hold this album up as a great example.
Favorite Tracks: Disco 2000 Common People Something Changed
Not really bad, but Britpop bands have never reached their predecessors from the 60s, 70s or 80s and so only a few songs are still relevant today.
Interesting. New to me. Reminded me of David Bowie.
Escuchable.
obviously i love this album i have listened 1 million times and also travelled to sheffield to see pulp. it is perfect it is so diverse but so consistent. and disco 2000 is probably the best song ever
Britischer Rock Common People sehr gut Disco 2000 sehr bekannt Leicht progressive Ansätze 4/5 Sterne
Different Class is one of the biggest highlights from the Britpop era. I can see how this album impacted british music, like Arctic Monkeys. The songs represent differences in class and wealth and mirror issues with society that are still ongoing. The only song that was a true detriment, in my opinion, is Pencil Skirt. It feels a little too creepy. Overall, this is a great album that borders on a 5. Best Songs: Common People, Disco 2000, I Spy, Monday Morning, Bar Italia Worst Songs: Pencil Skirt
Pulp schlug damals ein in meinen Ohren: ich war begeistert über die fantastischen, eingängigen Melodien und die unglaubliche Vielfalt. Ob Balladen , Rock und Popmusik sie beherrschen das Songwriting. Eine kreative Band , die tolle Arrangements schreiben kann. Kein einziger Ausfall. Und heute? Wundere ich mich, warum ich dieses tolle Album lange nicht mehr gehört habe. Ich bin immer noch begeistert.
this was fun and slightly nostalgic and has one of the best songs ever written - common people. it truly is fantastic, and i can listen to this again in its entirety, especially during summer. common people would be a 5 on its own, however the rest of the album isn’t the same level but still really good.
had some bangers, wasn’t in the mood during the first few tracks so i relistened after finishing it and it sounded good, common people and disco 2000 are my favourites, glad i listened just for those songs. decent 8
Bänger
Nothing stands out. Another alternative Brit band that was popular there and not here
Another 90s Band I knew only for the name. Apologies, I was busy. It only took about 30 years to listen for the first time and way better late than never. I recently became aware that Jarvis was a big deal in Britain but I didn’t connect him to Pulp. Again I apologize. This is a very good album. Lyrics, music & voice make it so for me. Just about every song I can easily listen to again …and again.
…so uh yeah
First album I got from Pulp was really bland, but this one was much better. Feels like it could go up a star with more listens
Not the worst, but not great
Pretty decent a few weird lines, but other than that sounded pretty good!
Think driving down the countryside in a droptop Volkswagen beetle wearing brown corduroy bellbottoms heading for a weekend beach party with a group of similarly stoned friends, playlist. Lots of focus on the NSFW part of this scenario.
Not too bad
Interesting that a band would bloom this late in their career, but the songs are good and certainly better than what Pulp would produce later. 3.5/5.0: Very Good
One of my favourites of all time
Less poppy than Oasis, Less disco than Blur, a good mix and blend of guitars and beats with more experimental sounds to give it a variety not reached by the other 90s Brit Pop bands. Common People is super catchy. I more enjoy the Shatner/BenFolds version, but see why they liked it enough to want to pay tribute. I Spy gives off the feel of a Leonard Cohen ballad, silky smooth and covered in cigarette smoke. Disco 2000 reminds me of Laura Branigan's Gloria. Something Changed evokesThe Smiths with wispy keyboards in the background dancing with Johnny Marr jangles on the guitar. Underwear is a track that I could see Arctic Monkees using as a template for a good portion of their tunes. Rounding out the album with the manic energy of Monday Morning breaking into the cool, soothing denouement of Bar Italia. Well crafted from start to finish. Well plied hooks and eminently easy to sing along to
I liked it. Extremely repetitive and derivative of other genres, but pleasant enough.
I really enjoyed most of the music on this one, but the lyrics got so uncomfortable at some points. 3.5/5
Quirky
NO WAY I was listening to this the other day after buying the CD and I nearly finished it but got interrupted. I got to the start of ‘FEELINGCALLEDLOVE’. I have heard the singles many times (I rather like Pulp) and I loved the album ‘This is Hardcore’. This is one of the albums where the less good far outweighs the amazing. Suffice to say all the songs are my favourites except for ‘Live Bed Show’ and ‘Monday Morning’. How can few of the top reviewers on here understand satire? Is this a strange American thing? It’s quite clear that the bizarre sex fantasies are a persona put on to mock the upper class’ very low expectations of lower classes as ‘dirty’ in more ways than one. I know we Brits are great at sarcasm (see what I did there?) so I would have thought it was fairly obvious we wouldn’t have bought 1.33m copies of an album that is serious about rape and other assorted perverted fantasies. 10/10. Possibly better than ‘This is Hardcore’…
Cool album - put it on my playlist. Lesson learned!
Favourite song - Mis shapes
The British are interesting people - most folks would be a bit appalled to hear a man who can’t sing be horny on main while chintzy pop instrumentals drone on in the background, but apparently that’s a chart topper across the pond.
I'm always intrigued by British and US artists... And how they break into each other's charts. Some are huge hits in their own countries...some in both. Very surprised to see how this album was a huge success in GB but not here. Maybe because grunge and garage rock were so huge at this point in time? This album has more of an 80s British sound to me. I thought it was ok, but nothing was pulling me in saying it was great. It was my first time hearing it or anything about this band. Nothing here telling me to pull it off the shelf again.
Creepy AF.
The hits are really good the other songs a bit mmmeh
Can’t say I have ever heard of these guys but one of the songs from this album is in my liked songs playlist. This is a really good record. Europop with strong Bowie vibes. Great melodies, fun record. Common People is an awesome song. I like this a lot.
Sounds like the kind of music Toby Maguire's Peter Parker would dance to in Spider-Man 3. Nothing to get that excited about.
Very 80s vibe to it. Two songs on the album that I recognised. The social commentary of the album is spot on for the time. The Disco 2000 is a song I remember playing on the TV from my youth.
Interesting music, good for the radio. Probably the best britpop/rock I've had on this list so far. Stand-out: I Spy
3.5/5
Seems like every British alternative band just sucks in my opinion Top tracks: Disco 2000
This was alright, not too bad but also wasn't incredibly impressive to listen to. It was a nice background album to listen to though.
This was ass. It sounds like an 80s pop rock album, but it came out 10 years too late. Not a single thing memorable about this.
Back in the mid 90's Common People and Disco 2000 were played so much on the radio that I grew to loathe them, especially Common People. Because of this I wasn't looking forward to delving into this album. So it's not a bad album, but it's not a great album either. I find the entire thing fairly meh. I'm not sure what the hype is, but then I didn't get it back when it was big either.
58/100 Mis-Shapes 6/10 Pencil Skirt 4/10 Common People 7/10 I Spy 3/10 ⭐️ Disco 2000 8/10 Live Bed Show 5/10 Something Changed 4/10 Sorted For E's & Wizz 7/10 FEELINGCALLEDLOVE 3/10 ⭐️ Underwear 8/10 Monday Morning 6/10 ⭐️ Bar Italia 9/10
For Britpop, this album was decent. Mostly songs that weren't terrific but a few that stood out a little more. Wouldn't turn it off if it were playing, but also not something I'm going to reach for either. 2.5/5
Definitely was underwhelmed with this one. I read that this was #5 album on albums of all-time in NME in 2013. I don't get it. I guess I'm not british enough. 2/5
Way better than Oasis, this is the Britpop I can get behind. Catchy as hell and with a slight, not overwhelming, sarcastic edge to it. B+
Good brit pop, never heard the album before.
Not bad. Not for me, but wasn't terrible. Lyricist was really horny.
favs: mis-shapes something changed sorted for e's bar italia seems like average 80s/90s british man pop to me, but was decently fun w/ some questionable lyrics
This album explains a lot. It is the missing link that connects 80s new wave to 2000s alt-pop movement.
Nothing special, but Feeling Called Love is a Standout.
some Bowie vibes. Feels like a soundtrack - that's exactly how I was feeling in the first song, then that song with the 'dark talking undertones' made me picture it as a vampire movie. Based on the album cover i think vampires are a good description of their appearance and music.
Not bad, would listen again.
Feels almost like it's from a musical. For being made in 1995, it sounds a lot like a reverb heavy, Gothic, 80s album. I like the vocals, I like the sounds they chose. A little repetitve.
Creepy David Bowie want-to-be.
Radio Brit rock Safely unadventurous Boldly quite boring
I feel like I know these people. I've had these conversations. The emotional content resonates on the same wavelength as my anxiety. Every part of this album is working for me, from the sweeping arrangements to the razor-sharp lyrics, I'm only sad that I didn't discover this album sooner. Added to my collection.
Pulp is just the Killers if Bowie was the lead singer. I think this was my first exposure to Pulp. A bit dramatic at first and took some time to get used to the vibes but overall really enjoyed it. Common People was amazing.
One of the finest albums ever made. I'm not surprised to read some of the reviews on here of people so far removed from England who just don't get it. But if you do get it, it's transformative and raw.
I know I’ve had a pulp album on this list before but I couldn’t for the life of me tell you anything about it without just comparing it to this one. If I was a British teen in the mid 90s this probably would’ve been on repeat but for me it’s just totally average 90s Brit rock.
Мне нравится эта группа. моя любимая песня которая называется по-английски Common People. Темпы все одинаковые, а тексты иногда банальны. Однако Мне нравится звук.
Common People, DJ 2000
Way too kitsch for me.
This really must be a band only the British care about. I remember Common People from William Shatner's cover of it. I found the album kinda boring.
Totally fine, but I listened to it 3 days ago and haven’t thought about it once since.
I like the sound of this album, it comes off sort of Broadway to me. I appreciate the use of strings and organ to mix up the more standard rock sound. It sort of reminds me of a less electric, early Muse.
#6 greatest album of all time????????? This was very hard to listen too. It sucked.
Knockoff Bowie mixed with a “I’m quirky and you will never understand me” vibe and some sprinkles of sexy monster mash.
Big Psychedelic Furs vibes, I really vibed with this one
Fine!
Maybe I just don’t like Brit pop
Forgettable slop.
Lovely sounds, nice to hear something like Bowie (but never the same)
Two classics brought me in, and opened my ears to this variation of Bowie and Morrissey incorporating more urgent 90s melodies.
I'm fine with it, can't remember much about it now. Will I listen to again: 10%
Brilliant portrayal of mundane, unfulfilled life. Does anyone else make music about normal lives? Does what it says on the tin - different class. 5*
Normally I have a visceral gut aversion to anything this glammed out or theatrical but somehow Pulp have never set off my alarm bells. Jarvis Cocker sells all his performances with such commitment, you kinda have to buy into what he's bought into himself. It also helps that "Common People" and "Disco 2000" are such absolute triumphs of songs. The way "Common People" in particular keeps ratcheting up momentum and somehow doesn't wear out that chorus despite repeating it like 8 times is pretty remarkable. This has a bit too much filler and too long a run-time to fully hit its promise, and I'm just too much of a sucker for Oasis to call this peak britpop, but it's a really enjoyable album.
Common people is an all time, rest of the album is give or take but still good
Dollar store Davie Bowie
CLASSIC BRIT POP
We all know I loved this one.
3.4/5 Best Track: Disco 2000
Fucking great
dobro mi je bilo ovo
svida mi se
Odlicnu! Lajkani jos od proslog slusanja ovih albuma
Pulp je prošle godine bio otkriće
Decent alt rock
3.5 I really really liked a few of the songs on this. And really didn’t like some other ones.
IKinda fun. Felt more like US 80s.
So British. But I liked it more than I wanted to.
Overall -OOO hitting us with some classic Britpop sound -how did they manage to capture the prior 30 years of rock sound ?? -these would be great guitar tracks for Guitar Hero -I want to give if a 3 but I feel like I have to give it a 4 because it’s just so impressive to me how well they blended so many different sounds Common People -I very much enjoy the guitar -this feels worthy of a movie soundtrack -this sound would be great in guitar hero I Spy -Oh it’s giving disco ?? -this is so creepy and fucked lmao -the strings ???? -this is so unnecessarily dramatic and I love it Disco 2000 - this is all abba riffs - one specific ABBA song I can’t place - this song is so interesting, it gives great rock guitar yet classic disco sound Live Bed Show -again the sounds are all so different and sound so good together Something Changed** -the strings and acoustic fuck Sorted for E’s ** -the blend of like rock and disco pop is insane and like electronic Feeling Called Love -Oh this dude is a sick fuck Underwear -I don’t like the message I don’t think but I actually really like the song Monday Morning -Ooooooo that little rocking on the pick ups Bar Italia -almost some blues influence
The lead singer reminds me of an ultra horny drama kid. Produces cool and edgy art but you would be scared shitless to be in the same room alone as this guy. I get some Rocky Horror Picture show mixed with the Cure vibes off this album. I really liked the music but it's hard to shake the creep factor at times.
How is another Pulp album on this list? This lead singer is awful. His lyrics are awful. Everything is hypersexualized. This was true in Pulp's last record... So this dude didn't progress and wrote the same shit. Not only that but I'm starting to think this dude is just a pervert. I really think he burdens the band. Sure he could be involved in other aspects to why this band has positives. But just his vocal and lyrical approach burdens this band. If I was in a band, and my lead singer approached our music with what this dude does... I would kick him out. In fact... I don't think this band deserves me to pick out the good vs the bad. Two albums of the same perverted, predator shit.... I would pay someone to not put this record or band on. It's a shame because there is good stuff going on musically but the lead singer ruins everything for me. The first album, I tried my best to enjoy the process of listening and rating the album by pointing out all of the shitty lyrics but I just can't do that for a second time. I just don't care. This was a tough listen for someone who appreciates good lyricsm. I'm trying my hard not to be biased as I confidently say that I hate this band... There's some cool musical ideas. But I don't need to get into which.
It was okay
Great! Had original common people
Kind of creepy.
Ok mas com certeza tem uns 700 álbuns que poderiam estar no lugar desse
