Different Class

An awesome album. Sounds of arcade fire

Unique blend of sounds, with hints of Bowie, post-punk, disco, and baroque pop. Fun listen.

Common Pulp - Top of the Britpops

A great pop group. Easy to see their popularity and obvious influence by other Brit bands. Somehow they make it their own with single charting songs and a great album.

5.5/10

This is a very good album. Listening to it felt full of real emotion about being young, stupid and in love. Sometimes it turns sad, other times it feels fun and happy, and the whole record has an atmosphere that pulls you in and holds you there. Jarvis Cocker’s voice and lyrics carry a lot of the weight. He sounds sharp, awkward and completely present, which makes the songs feel personal even when they are observational. The band supports him with strong, melodic arrangements that never get in the way of the mood. Everything feels connected and purposeful. The production by Chris Thomas is clean and well balanced. It has that mid 90s British polish while still leaving room for personality and detail. The sound is full without becoming heavy, and it suits the songs perfectly. Different Class remains a strong and involving album. Emotional, well written and full of atmosphere from start to finish.

4.05

This has several very listenable tracks compared to This is Hardcore (e.g. Feeling Called Love and Common People)

Enkelte av sangene blir veldig teatralske, snakkete og creepy, men ellers var det en del bra. Vokste veldig på meg utover albumet. Sterk 3.

Really good. Needs further listens

Sounds like a rough draft that needed to be revised before jt was perfected some of the lyrics and musicality seemed like it was the first idea

meio trilha sonora de filme!

Liked Common People, Disco 2000, Sorted for E’s & Wizz and Monday Morning.

This is a very English record. Over the years I’ve made several efforts to try to enjoy the entire thing. It should be in my skill set. I love the Jam, Happy Mondays, Blur and Oasis and every quirky band from the 90s when this record came out. I just can’t. Sure Common People is a solid track. Jarvis is a capable frontman. It should work but it doesn’t. It’s kind of boring. Only other tracks I found interesting were Monday Morning and Disco 2000. That’s it. Sad really because someone is suggesting that this was one of the best Brit Pop records- it’s not. So sadly, this really is 2/5

𝘋𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘊𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴 is pretty much the perfect Britpop album for me. Sharp, funny, catchy, unmistakably British, and full of songs that turn everyday life into something far more dramatic than it has any right to be. If anyone needs convincing just how good Pulp were, 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 should be enough. It has everything: a brilliant melody, biting social commentary, Jarvis Cocker’s wonderfully theatrical delivery, and an arrangement that keeps building until the whole thing feels enormous. Thankfully, the rest of 𝘋𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘊𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴 proves that 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 was no accident. Britpop rarely got better than this.

When asked who I'd back in the endless Britpop debate, I've neither said Oasis or Blitz but instead Pulp. Their cinematic sound is something that has always drawn me in, writing songs which are overtly playful and deviously intricate. The storytelling on display is captivating, and Jarvis Cocker's voice is unique amongst the more nasal counterparts of his time. I especially found Something Changed to be a particular highlight, with not a single bad track to be found. It simply is just a Different Class compared to a lot of other stuff from this specific movement.

A pure classic!

Si

Ok seriously come the fuck on. Another one from this tired genre??????

freaky

i hate british

Ugh more Britpop. Some of it, ok most of it, is just pretentious BS. Generally not a fan. That said, while I think this album is far from great and the lead feels like he would fit better in a punk outfit at times, I actually appreciated that this band had some sophistication to them. There were subtle touches like the sparing use of a few instruments (piano, strings?) in Pencil Skirt that just made the songs better. There was the devilish tone of I Spy (my favorite track on this record). And it had enough of variance in the sound to be interesting. Do I prefer more of a straightforward rock sound? No doubt. But this wasn't half bad. Of course, calling it one of the best Britpop albums ever is a bit like saying it's the nicest smelling turd of the bunch. But hey, at least it dressed up nice for the occasion.

Big fan of Pulp

Very good, never really listened to much Pulp. Missing out.

Pulps up

pulp walked so arctic monkeys could run

I hope my brain pulp immediately forgets this garbage.

That sure was another mediocre British rock album. Really unimpressed honestly

Very mediocre contemporary British pop rock.

Decent album. Common people and disco 2000 are really good.

I really like the middle class anthem common people, they’re a sultry arty rock band.

3/6

Painting such vivid portraits of the UK at the time, Pulp creates a record that feels lived in. Boasting a unique frontman that feels like a combination of David Bowie mixed with a sex-crazed creepy uncle, Jarvis Cocker is an absolutely compelling storyteller with tons of character, wit and charisma. This is packed wall-to-wall with bangers that will get asses moving such as "Mishapes", "Common People" and "Disco 2000" while also have plenty of songs suited for the comedown such as "Live Bed Show" and "Bar Italia". This eccentric record is the best record to come out of the Britpop movement and one of my favourite records ever.

holy shiiiiiit some crazy ass singer songwriter lyrcis and punky, discoy, art rock, reminded me of albums i love like loss of life from mgmt, good shit.

Easy listening, but I don't feel a lot about it. Another pub album when I'm having a few beers with mates.

Real sad for a pop album, real pop for a sad album. Honestly I loved the blend of sound, lyrics and meaning. I think I would get more out of this album if I listened to it a few more times. Still, it was great, and since it's a band and album I haven't really heard before, a great discovery.

TL;DR: Pitch-perfect, weird, horny class warfare that is as vital and relevant now as it was in 1995. BEFORE: Favourite album by one of my favourite bands. Finally saw them live earlier this year and it was a revelation, even 30 years after this came out. I already know the rating and this is just an excuse to listen to them again. AFTER: Yeah it's still great. Common People is one of the best songs every written and there are plenty of other tracks here that run it pretty close. This album is a powerful mix of drama, humour, arch lyrics, political / class commentary, big hooks and music that is, by turns, anthemic and epic or tasteful and delicate. Pulp always seem able to find an extra gear in their songs when they need and Jarvis Cocker is an expert in finding the universal in the specific. HIGHLIGHTS: Common People is perfect. Mis-Shapes is an incredible opener - a microcosm of the album to follow in under 4 minutes. I Spy is Common People's creepy uncle - Cocker leering over dramatic strings. Sorted for E's & Whizz captures the crushing loneliness of the end of a big night. Monday Morning is a raucous deep cut. LOWLIGHTS: None. If you think it's creepy, I have to assume that you're either a Mormon or just haven't really understood it. VERDICT: 5. Obviously. Everyone who gave this a low rating is a terminal loser.

🫪 this guy is down bad. Instrumentally this is probably a 5, but it’s overwhelmingly horny

common people was good i spy was good too (kind of evil vibe lol) it got better track after track

nah

Forgot just how stacked this album is. It's one of those ones where I don't think you'll get tired of it no matter how many times you listen.

Bell’album e poi storia dei pulp incredibile

Already knew common people.

Really liked Common People but not sure the rest of the album has a ton of staying power. I think I’ll check out some other stuff from the band to be sure.

Had some Bowie vibes at times. Generally liked this but nothing stood out as a favorite either.

Mano, que album INDECENTE! Ele ja começa todo frenético e depois vc só vai ouvindo pedradas, emocionou muito

For the fourth day in a row, I already have this album in my music library, I listen to it, it's ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for me. There will be a crash soon, I fear. One of the two-star reviews on this site sums this album up as: "The music isn’t bad but the vocalist’s “seductive vampire” thing he does just about ruins it for me." Cocker is alternately sarcastic, vindictive, has a chip on his shoulder, a little too concerned and worried about sex, but then a song like "Something Changed" comes in and you go "oh! ohhhh this is all a defensive pose." So for me, the "seductive vampire" act works. It's tongue in cheek, super blasé about everything until he forgets to do that and sounds heartbroken instead.

An awesome album. Loved it.

Revenge specialists with songwriting chops.

Richtig richtig gut. Easy 4,5. Ich glaub ist sogar das erste Album was von mir ne 4,5 kriegt

Kul med 90-tal, två hittar på albumet. Lite väl vulgärt för mig

thought i would like it more than i did

This is one of my favorite albums of all time.

Just not quite as good as 'His N Hers'

Pretty good m

Pulp week! I'ma pulp guy!

Common People is so epic but these other tunes are a world of corny Brit rock that I was never into 😬

I think reading the wiki blurb does this album a disservice. Its a fine album with some catchy, memorable tunes. But one of the 500 best albums of all time it is not, let alone #6 on a list like that. 3/5

Meh

One of my all-time favorites.

I liked the more upbeat songs quite a bit more than the slower ones. I think this one would grow on me with a few more listens.

Hard to take seriously, but not in a bad way.

It was okay but seemed unnecessarily over dramatic. Two stars

Not just one of the best albums of the 90’s, but one of the best albums full stop. Amidst the countless “lad culture” albums of the Britpop era, singing about drinking and fighting, Pulp came up with a dark and brooding album, filled with innuendo laden lyrics and sordid tales of debauchery. The musicianship is levels above a lot that was released in this era, too. Not afraid to take risks and to release an album with actual dynamics which can jolt you out of your seat at times. Song structures leaving you not knowing what will come next. Yes, then lyrics can sound questionable at times when listening back through 2026 ears. But you need to remember how tongue in cheek they are and Jarvis Cocker is. These are characters, not an autobiographical account. The album is a slice of pop genius.

The album retains the atmosphere of post‑punk, but it’s complemented perfectly by elements of Britpop, and because of this, the album sounds interesting and unusual.

Jakościowa płyta i jakościowa muzyka, wszystko do siebie pasuje, po tytule płyty wiadomo o czym będzie, cudowna charyzma Jarvisa, ale nie umiem dać więcej niż mocne 3.

Like many of the British classics on this list (yes, there really ARE a number of classics in with all the detritus) I came to this album probably a full 20 years after its release. Common People had been thrown into a playlist I was listening to (gotta love streaming services.) I went to the album, and lo and behold, I discovered this gem. Kitchen Sink Realism at its best. Cover to cover. Ending with Bar Italia. Perfect. 5 Boolean: TRUE

Besides the biggest Oasis and Blur hit I've listened to very little 90's BritPop. I thought I might be getting another Smith's or Morrisey type sound, and while there are similarities in theme, this album is worlds better. Arctic Monkey's was the closest parallel I could draw, so it made a lot of sense to see they came from the same city. Highly re-listenable, every re-play I latched onto a new song, Mis-shapes, Common People, Disco 2000, Something Changed, Underwear.

6/10

good

Not a 3 but nor is a 2 fair.

Standard Britpop

Perfekt britpop

Not my favorite

7/10 Buen album. Es lindo de escuchar, no es molesto y se pasa rapido

A first listen for me, and it’s cracking! There’s always something interesting going on, and the 50 odd minutes race past. Favourite track: F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E

Pretty good, I liked I Spy best

Super hippie, too sensual for me to listen to regularly. Unique sound that I appreciated.

This album had a NSFW energy to it that I did not particularly enjoy but the overall sound was alright.

4/10

Mostly catchy and never heard this band before. I'll go with a 3.5 rounded up to 4.

I never got into Pulp but this sounded fine, and would probably grow on me with more listens (of course, that's probably true of a lot of albums!)

3.5

3.5

This was my 2nd Pulp album and I’m still not impressed. Listening to the singer whispering in some of these songs was like having a gross old man whispering in my ear. Something Changed was my least disliked song, which I’d probably like a bit more if someone else sang it, I’m just not a fan of the singer’s voice. Safe to say this band is not my cup of tea.

I enjoyed this, I feel like I'd probably appreciate it more in the 90s than now but it's still good. Common People is a good song (understandably it's their most listened to song) and I quite like the opening track, Mis-shapes. But my favorite is probably Disco 2000.

7/10

An unapologetically Punk Rock album with a very distinct Camden sound. While Pulp may, at times, sound quite crude and brash in their delivery and what they discuss, each song carries a message that resonates with the common people (no pun intended). With topics discussing class difference, wealth, sexual desires, financial struggles and also battles with drugs and alcohol, Pulp is able to present them all in a way that demands your attention and captivates your curiosity. My personal favourite was "F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E" with its very unique presentation of experiencing love for the first time can feel like. To enjoyers of the genre, this is a 5 star album and I recommend listening to it. For me personally, I'll have to settle with a 4 star. A very enjoyable and intriguing album.

Very punchable face this subhuman possesses

Fav: Mis-Shapes

Mola. Por momentos me trae a Bowie, a Belle & Sebastian o a Franz Ferdinand Mis-Shapes Common People - Full Length Version Live Bed Show Something Changed Sorted For E's & Wizz

More songs in this I knew than I thought.

Bit dull, very politically driven. Important things to say.

wilbur soot

I have a pet peeve when a band has a golden song on their hands so they just repeat the hook ad nauseum. That's "common people". I can imagine people buying this album for common people and disco 2000 and kind of nodding along absent mindedly with the rest. The highs are high and these are absolutely masterfully crafted songs, but too much of the album is filler.

Joku tässä prittipopissa toimii ja iskee itelle

Täähän on varsin jees. Hauska juttu liittyen tohon Common People -biisiin... eka kerta kun sen kuulin ni se oli William Shatnerin laulamana :D Niin siitä tuli itelle se oikee versio ja tää näiden on ihan paska siihen verrattuna.

Ei mahottomasti moitetta. Tosta rittien ysärimelskaamisesta tää erottuu omanlaisenaan hienosti. Vähän mysteerihän se on, että vaati sitten yleisen buumin, että nääkin paino rieskan pöytään, joka jytää, vaikka yrittämistä ol takana helvetin pitkään. Vastaukset löytys todennäkösesti, jos niitä ettis, mutta jätetään "ihmettelempähän vuan" -asteelle. Ihan ei kanna vitkuun. Nelkki siis riittää.

Kovia biisejä paljoltikin, mutta on kyllä myös muutama aika turha täytebiisi. Hauska levy kun tunnelma vaihtelee melkein Finnhitseistä Brittipopin ikivihreisiin. Soundit on vähän semmoset mitkä itsellä tökkii tässä, ettei ihan vitskaan pysty. Jotenkin tuntuu siltä että jotain jäi kyllä miksauspöydälle. Mutta kai se sitten oli sitä ysäriä.

6/10

An all time classic from one of Britian’s best. Tracks like Common People and Disco 2000 stand the test of time.

alright

That surprised-looking chap from Harry Potter singer whispering creepily about sex and class, somehow, translates into spectacular party pop. If Morrissey and Costello co-wrote for The Jam

really enjoyed this

Yoooo British people double feature. The mixing made it really hard to hear the vocalist 50% of the time. All of the Treble and mid tones felt like they souped up together. I thought my headphones were just being weird but even in my car I could barely distinguish the vocals from the instrumentation, maybe I'm just going deaf. Overall it was pretty forgettable. 80s Brit-slop in the 90s. Post-punk is such a broad genre that comparing this to Joy Division and Talking Heads makes it seem like chump change. Favorite(s): FEELINGCALLEDLOVE Least: Disco 2000

Fav: Sorted for E’s and Wizz L: Common People 2 Wanker core. For like half the songs the direction to the instruments seems to have been “play the same chord every beat”. At like 2:28 in Monday Morning he does a Mr Bean noise a few times.

Catch up time. This one was pretty good. I'm not paying too much attention tbh. But it is catchy and clean throughout. I do not vibe with the whispering stuff. W: Spike Island L: Any that whispered too much 3/5

I was looking forward to hearing this album after the previous one that appeared on here ended up being lackluster for me. Different class has way more memorable songs like Disco 2000 and Common People, and Jarvis Cocker is at his best as a vocalist.

The instrumentation saves this from being a 1 star

I had never heard this album before and I really enjoyed it. I love his voice and singing style. I would definitely listen to it again.

Fun album. Similar to the new wave/alternative synth music that I usually listen to

Man, I need more listens on this. Right now I'm leaning 3 but could go 4.

Decent - Kinda long but such was the era - Really romantic

Pulp “Different Class” strong 4 for me. Even as an American this album reached me and stayed with me. With all due respect to oasis and blur, Common People is THE anthem of britpop. But all of these songs are just so great and memorable. Different class, indeed.

Great hooks. Great themes. Great lyrics. Great commentary. Often fun. Occasionally doesn't quite hit (could be 10 minutes shorter) but I can't if that back for a album with this many great songs. Pulp are one of the few bands I've seen live without knowing any albums and loved. Jarvis does that.

most of this is absolutely incredible and then there is a couple songs that just really take me out of it. i would probably love them anyway if this wasn’t the first time i’ve heard them but going with a 4. disco 2000 is fucking incredible.

This is one of the easiest 5s in the whole thing. It's just glorious. Seedy, disgusting, hopefully, fun, dancy, dark, regretful. So many feelings and emotions are jammed into it, every track is a banger. You're never sure whether you should be repulsed by Jarvis or not, but you can't stop listening. Then it also has common people and disco 2000 and you just have to admit the whole thing is a masterpiece.

Muy guapo. Tiene una vibra muy disco que me atrae bastante

Strange lyrics, but not hard to listen to

Not great but it kinda grows on you.

Possibly the best album of the 1990s

трохи довга ну 3

One of the big names of britpop, and this is their best album. Common People is a step above, but there are some other decent tunes in there too. Just about manages to not overstay its welcome.

I first heard of Pulp with the release of their 2025 album "More" and enjoyed it! But I didn't look deeper into their discography. Really glad i landed here today. Question: why would a band in 1995 produce a record that sounds like a record from 1985?

Here we have another case of why I've done this project. Sure, I've heard Common People, but let's be honest - only after the William Shatner cover. But the rest of this is fabulous. F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E. (the most ridiculous song title ever) has a cool Faith No More/Mike Patton vibe to it. A lot of channeling Bowie going on. Monday Morning is a great song. Great find.

Pretty good album.

Meh

Genius!

This makes me think of orange juice A bit of Pulp can be nice Too much Pulp is off putting

Cool album. 4 stars

I wish I heard more of this album when it first came out. Strong album, a bit melodramatic for my taste, but I enjoyed hearing it.

Enjoyed the storytelling of relatable life of a generation. Good album

I liked the sound, but I feel like I need a hundred showers to wash off the slimy, sleazy lyrics.

This album is doing a lot but in a great way

So good lyrics, i like it

Nicer britpop

From my home town of Sheffield, but was never a fan.

different. out there. all over. pop?

Overall: 6/10 Could be worse, but I still feel like these guys are trying too hard to sound like David Bowie and not ever really getting anywhere close. I do have to say that Common People is an absolute banger, and this is better than the other Pulp album I heard. Fav Song: Common People

I've had my fill of mid brit-pop.n Enough already.

Some interesting content, just not my thing.

decent, fake david bowie,

Confused at the amount of praise being heaped upon this mid album. Never heard of them before either. Mostly shit.

It was alright

super mid, não achei que teve nenhum ponto alto, tanto que eu escutei o álbum inteiro e não consigo lembrar de nenhuma música em especial. Não é ruim, só não é bom também. Deviam ter colocado My Dear Melancholy do The Weeknd no lugar desse aqui, que é bem mais memorável e tem bem mais alma.

It hurts

I've established through this project that Brit-pop is not my thing. Do I still have to listen to the whole album or can I cut my losses? I will continue to mull it over while I listen.

Not a fan. What if we made David Bowie songs but much sappier and they're all about about being a dipshit loser in the UK.

Stong

Hab nich zu ende gehört...

Hear this if you want a bad trip later this week I love the hopelesscore

Es un buen álbum, pero hay una canción que es claramente mejor que las otras y esa es common people. Todas las otras canciones son buenas, pero se vuelven repetitivas muy rápido.

Good album

Best album of the so call Britpop scene, said that at the time and definitely with time say it now, one the the best of the 90s. Sharp social commentary with humour and biting cynicism, the class commentary is so, so well done. Musically it holds up start to finish, with each track being its own distinctive deeply interesting entity. Very related to the British condition and not as escapist as others, which is why oasis are the ones doing the US reunion tours, but still say this is a more transcendent, and just better album. 5 Stars

Another meaningless british album who wants to feel class conscious and interesting and ends up being the poundland version of something I heard and disliked somewhere between 20 and 30 years ago. At least it's not UTTERLY bad, it's just REALLY bad.

Totally new to me! -maybe just recency bias (and the Bristish-ness?), but there is some very clear Bowie influence here in this opening - reminds me of phantom of the opera? Like a late 80s phantom modernization?

I thought this was great! Great songs and lyrics! I had only ever heard common people before and that rocks

My favourite album so far. Blew me away.

After reading some reviews for this album and accidentally playing the beginning of “Mis-Shapes,” I thought I would enjoy “Different Class” by Pulp. And since I haven’t listened to Britpop recently, I thought maybe this could be an opportunity to get back into the genre. Boy, was I wrong. First, Jarvis Cocker is creepy. What the hell are “Pencil Skirt” and “I Spy?” This man makes me afraid to leave the house at night. Second, I’ve been trying to understand where people are getting the “social commentary” from, but I cannot discern any of that from the album aside from “Common People,” and I guess “Disco 2000” and “Underwear.” Even so, this was a very lighthearted and unserious way to comment on society, and I see this more as carefree “romantic commentary.” Honestly, a lot of this was Jarvis thinking he was making a point, but instead just talking to talk. Instrumentally, this album isn’t “bad” per se; it’s just that it is so basic with no defining quality that I hear other bands have, like Oasis, for example, with their electric guitar-driven sound. I would describe this album’s instrumentals as easy to listen to but not good; that said, they do use some unconventional rhythms, but that was all the uniqueness I took from them. Even though their melodies were basic and straightforward (but again, easy on the ears), it was no problem getting through the album. Vocally, I have no clue what this man is doing. Half of the time, he’s whispering like he’s about to commit murder, and half of the time, he has half-decent vocals that I can actually tolerate. No clue what the purpose of this is, and hearing this with the instrumentals ruined the whole experience for me. Honestly, this was just a weird album from start to finish, and I do not think I will be revisiting this as a whole anytime soon. I am glad, however, that I made it to the more unusual side of Britpop, and if this has taught me one thing, it’s to not willingly listen to Pulp ever again. 2/5

Confesso que não entendi muito bem a proposta.. talvez meus sentimentos sejam muito rasos pra esse tipo de música. É legal no nível padrão, mas como eu costumo dizer, longe de ser algo que me prenda a atenção.

I really liked it! Even with it being Britpop and from the mid-90s, I found it surprisingly groovy. I dig a lot of things about it!

One of the great Britpop albums. I think this was the first album I actually bought with my own money.

Much better than 'This is Hardcore', but still not an album i would choose to listen to.

uneven listening experience. some good ones, and some reallllly bad ones.

Álbum de rock alternativo bem competente. Não acho que seja o melhor da banda, mas não deixa de ser bom. Pula Unicrom.

very British !!!!

Good album containing some of their biggest hits. Pretty much the soundtrack to discos when I was a student

they cooked with this one. really exciting stuff.

The last minute of “common people” was the first thing to impress me truthfully. Half way through, I do not like this album lol This album is incredibly horny. Ok, after sitting on it for a day, this album sucks. I’m sorry. Maybe I just don’t get it, but just Englishmen singing songs about seeing girls in their underwear isn’t it. Only one or two times did I find myself impressed or interested in a riff or something instrumental happening, other than that, it was kind of boring, just weird English disco rock.

This was an album I expected to like a lot more than I did. While I've definitely heard of Pulp, I wasn't really familiar with any of their music. If I'd heard any of the songs on the album before, I don't remember them. And I think that's exactly what my issue was with the album - several catchy songs, but nothing memorable. I was never much into the Britpop bands of the 90s, but it wasn't because I didn't like their music. I was just more into other stuff at the time. To me, this album was fine for what it is, but nothing I would listen to again.

Geez this Brit pop stuff is just boring.

Oh boy. This really just felt like very of the time brit-pop. I struggled to hear why this album NEEDED to be here. There's nothing really wrong with it or annoying, so I guess it can have a 3

Dammit, I feel like such a poser - my favourite songs, and really the only that I would listen to again were the two biggest hits. Unfortunately, this just didn't captivate me at all, aside from "Common People" and "Disco 2000". It just felt a bit sluggish, claggy and annoying, and I'm not sure Jarvis Cocker's voice is for me. I like what this album has to say, and I think it's, despite everything, quite endearing, so I'm happy to round my rating up.

More britpop for some reason

Some decent and creative songwriting but not especially memorable. It feels like this suffers a bit from being a one-man show, being a band in name inly rather than a true collaboration among musicians. 3.5/5

Miss me with the whisper singing/talking. Annoying.

meh.. was ok, but wont come back to it

Wonderfully crafted dark vignettes of northern England. Cocker crafts snapshots of the good the bad snd the creepy. Pulp were always the darker side of the Britpop era but that is what makes them great. Despite that the songs here are so catchy, especially’Common People’ and ‘Disco 2000’. Songs like ‘Mis-Shapes’, ‘something changed’ and ‘f.e.e.l.i.n.g.c.a.l.l.e.d.l.o.v.v.e’ are equally euphoric and highlight how despite being different from the mainstream acts of the mid/late nineties Pulp connected so well and their music stands the test of time

Some songs just remind me of my childhood in the 90s, and this album contains two of them - both “Common People” and “Disco 2000” are like a time capsule, so huge were they when I was young. They are, also, the standouts in this album. Generally, it’s fine. Sometimes, it gets a little bit weird (see: “F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E., in particular, but any of the Jarvis Cocker spoken word bits gave me the ick). But never does it get better than its two standouts.

Jarvis Cocker is a brilliant human being. Never has a man who looks and dresses so much like an accountant been such a great frontman who inexplicably exudes confidence and sex appeal. I have no idea why it works; it just does. And this album is a brilliant piece of work, from start to finish. Snapshots into the lives of people in a certain demographic in the UK, which aren't always pleasant but always feel real. Because I always knew what mark I was giving this, I read a few reviews while listening. The people dismissing it as "a bit rapey" or "creepy" really don't seem to understand that Pulp aren't endorsing these events, just laying them out for you observe them. Not every song has to shy away from the darker things in life. A great album, that was never not getting: 5/5

Ohhhhh yes. Incredible Brit Pop. In fact, I think that if all music was being purged for all time and we could save a single Brit Pop song, "Common People" would be it. It's witty, and cutting, and actually has something to say, while also being an excellently structured and arranged song. The rest of the album doesn't quite reach that height, but these songs are punchy, and dramatic, and funny - "Sorted for E's and Wizz" and "Underwear" are two of the other highlights for me. I had certainly heard this album before today, but listening to it for the first time in quite a while, in the context of this project, I was struck by how hooky this album is. The choruses are HUGE, and not just on the singles, but the deep cuts as well. An incredible album by a band at their peak. FOUR STARS

got creepy 4 songs in got noncy on the 5th

“Common People” is an all time fantastic song, so I had hope for this album, but it wasn’t great. Some really suspect lyrics in a few of the songs that seemed to imply a fondness for lack of consent. Kind of soured me on the whole thing. It’s a 2.5 but I’m rounding down despite the strength of “Common People.” Also I thought for years that “Common People” was an old Bowie song. Kind of gives that vibe, and honestly might be the main reason why I like it.

This is fun! It was so British that I didn’t think it’d be my vibe but…..I LOVED this and kept wanting to hear the next song. A big surprise for me this month.

3/6

Wanted to dislike this. The middle tracks won me over. Soft 4, better than expected for 90s Brit Pop.

As I said before: Pulp is nothing more than David Bowie if he had a Britpop band. Still damn good. 5 stars

Just fantastic - Disco 2000 and Something Changed are two of my all time top 20. Mishapes, Underwear, Common People etc are also all solid gold.

I wasn't feeling it but it was a monday morning

Love every song on here, although I think I did need to listen to this multiple times before I truly got it, like most Pulp albums. I need to punch whoever decided on the track order though. Common People into I Spy into Disco 2000 into Live Bed Show is just a weird run emotionally.

Look, this album is complicated - it's mainly about jealousy of social position, being unhappy at the independence of women and their choices, and general post-Thatcher working class resentment of the world as a whole. Yet, it's ... really very good. These are - without exception - fantastic songs, in melody, arrangement, and even lyrically. So, a rare 5 stars from me.

noise core

You would be missing no part of society by skipping your listen of this album

rapey and weird

note to self: come back to this (i'm not sure if it's good/great)

Common People alone is 5 stars

90s British music at its best. When there's quite a lot of it that is very mid on this list, this shows how it should be done: catchy on the tunes and the lyrics; witty and clever; sometimes pushing the boundaries of politics and social acceptance. Unbelievably, I don't think I'd heard this all the way through before. High 4, going to convert it to a 5 for Jarvis not taking any of Michael Jackson's shit at the Brits a year later.

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PULP #MYGOATS

This album was interesting, and reminded me of art class when we did collages of magazine and newspaper clippings. 3/5 with a heart

I’ve listened to this at least 10 times before, it’s a perfect Britpop album and I have it as 9/10 on RYM. Extremely Recommended. Favorite Song is Monday Morning.

This album is actually very enjoyable, so fun. And there are also some interesting moments. The mixture between soft rock and a popish side really works very well with Pulp, even if some songs can feel a bit bland or insipid. But, overall, this album is really great, with some really nice songs and, sure, a very enjoyable record to listen to.

Goated record Didn’t realise he was such a creepy guy til I spy. He plays that character very well

The album that put Britpop on the map. Pure nostalgia.

I know this is an important album for a lot of people, my wife included, so I’ve heard it in passing a number of times but it’s never been something that’s made much of an impact on me. Listening on headphones, it seems this is perhaps the best thing that ever came out of Britpop. Still not my thing, but it’s okay.

I'm in love with this album

Some good hits but not my vibe for a full album

Awful. Might be the worst I've heard yet.

Album 48/1001. Listened 7/14/2026. It's better in orange juice.

This was all new to me, and I liked it quite a lot. It's a real shame Pulp didn't get the same stateside exposure as Oasis and Blur... this would have slapped so hard back in '95. There are a few tracks that could be cut to make this a stronger, tighter product, but that's really just nit-picking. The majority of this is great. Note to self: based on the wildly variant quality of albums on this list that are labeled "Britpop", you should ignore this tag just as you would the equally useless and generic "Rock" label...

This was fun. Lacked a bit of versatility, I did get a little bored half way through. It brought me back by the end though. I can see myself repeating this a few more times.

This album makes a strong case for Pulp being deserving of the best BritPop band of the 90’s. More clever than Oasis. Weirder than Blur. More sophisticated than everyone else. Heir to the throne of bands like the Kinks, the Jam and the Smiths as chroniclers of life in Britain. Jarvis Cockers lyrics are raw and pointed. The music is simple but bombastic at the same time arrangement of spikey synths, sweeping guitars and drums building into crescendos like some kind of bizarre, art show musical production. Pulp doesn’t get their well deserved recognition, but they are great and this album is their magnum opus. 4.5

One of the defining albums of both 1995 but of the entire Britpop period, putting Pulp into the bigger league of Indie bands who were now 'above ground' in the mainstream. 'Common people' was the signature song of the time before 'wonderwall' came out and Disco 2000 also got considerable airplay. The album is a consistent set of songs about the seedier elements of society and sorted for Es and Whizz is an eloquent admission of the unspoken drug culture of the 90s. On today's listen it does rank as a classic and one can hear the likes of Scott Walker, Bryan Ferry and David Bowie in Jarvis's writing. It's working class people being clever again - never favoured by the establishment!

Above average brit-pop. 3.5/5. Raising to 4.

A very well crafted and intelligent album - almost(!) My favourite of the era

Possibly the most cleverly written album of all the Brit-pop era. Some sharp accurate observations on real life lyrically. Some excellent mostly upbeat music. Especially love the keyboards. I hadn’t listen in years but will now dive back into their back catalogue.

How britpop should be. I’m not in England but I bloody feel like I am

I wish I was cool enough when this was released to appreciate this. It's such a good album, I've grown more and more fond of it over the years. I feel like Pulp were underappreciated despite their popularity, and that they flew under the radar because of when this came out. Always a real pleasure listening to this 🥰

Common People and Disco 2000 are classics but that's about where my enjoyment of this ends. The instrumentals are pretty much all very catchy and well put together but the vocals do not work for me at all. Sometimes it sounds like he's singing without ever actually hearing the music he's singing over. I know the whisper singing is a stylistic choice but I just do not get on with it. Some of the lyrics are also cringe worthy to me. Maybe I'll like this a bit more on a second listen but as a first go round I am not a fan.

Pretty good, not sure I have much to add that I didn't say earlier on "This Is Hardcore", but nice '90s / 2000s sound and good listen.

ganz okay

It is difficult for me to be objective or to distance myself from Pulp's "Different Class", such is my familiarity with this excellent album. Instead of a traditional critique, I will recount an unexpected, personal encounter with the band. In the summer of 1995, my wife and I decided to take our two youngest children down to London's West End for a look around the shops. Our youngest son was just a year old, and our daughter was four. We visited the expected spots: various children's clothing shops, Hamleys (for the kids, obviously!), and then made our way to the Virgin Megastore on Oxford Street. Whilst we were browsing, there was suddenly a commotion. Lo and behold, appearing on a small stage right in front of us were Pulp, promoting their recently released single, 'Common People'. They seemed genuinely pleased to be there, and Jarvis Cocker in particular appeared rather inebriated. I bought the CD single there and then (and still have it), purchasing the album as soon as it came out later that autumn. I have never seen Pulp live in concert; to this day, that in-store performance remains my only encounter with them. As for the album itself? I loved it on the very first listen, and I still love it today. It is choc-a-block with witty, pithy, observant songs that expertly document the uncomfortable truths and intricacies of British life in the 1990s. It remains an absolute triumph that balances sharp social commentary with brilliant pop hooks. It captures a very specific moment in British cultural history, yet it has aged remarkably well. Five stars. Lastly, the original album artwork for "Different Class" is just as meticulously observed and distinctively British as the music itself. The design concept, put together by Blue Source and stylist Donald Milne, matches the album perfectly. 1 "Mis-Shapes" (5/5) 2 "Pencil Skirt" (5/5) 3 "Common People" (5/5) 4 "I Spy" (5/5) 5 "Disco 2000" (5/5) 6 "Live Bed Show" (5/5) 7 "Something Changed" (4/5) 8 "Sorted for E's & Wizz" (5/5) 9 "F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E" (4/5) 10 "Underwear" (4/5) 11 "Monday Morning" (4/5) 12 "Bar Italia" (4/5) Total - 55 Average - 4.6 364/1001 193/364 albums reviewed were new to me.

Gets deeper after the first listen. A stand out peak for Pulp

Sometimes there's an album on here that just screams "a middle aged British dude chose this"

7 - GOOD

Common Ppl remains one of THE songs of the 90s. Album good back up.

this music is as dreary as britain motherfuckers

Not bad, but a lot of the songs sounded very similar.

Classified as Britpop, this is a record that transcends the genre. Incisive lyrics delivered with authenticity coupled with great pop tunes that have just enough unconventional elements and interesting touches like orchestration. Not a bad song on the record, and easily one of the best records to ever come out of that scene.

Good fun album with a bunch of songs ill continue to listen to. Never really heard BritPop until now, its not bad. Some of the lyrics are a bit questionable but they are british

I’ve always thought that PULP is criminally underrated. At least here in the U.S. Musically, PULP, explodes with heartbreaking and joyful tunes. Guitar riffs that’ll make you grow hair on your chest and melodies that will bring you back to your first schoolboy-heartbreak. Jarvis Cocker is guilty of loving too much. He’s guilty of feeling and experiencing too much. At least that’s the way he writes. Different Class blends everything that’s great and terrible about life and human emotion and simplifies it all into pub ballads that we can sing at the top of our lungs, or cry to with the people that we love most. Different Class is a beautiful, perfect, album.

Rock. It was okay.

Very weird and rapey would not recommend.

rlly cool

Meh.

4.5 or so

Lyrics are creepy af

I am as big of a teaboo as any Yank you'll ever meet but nothing here appeals to me.

this is quite good

Pulp took the sex, drugs and rock and rolled it into an album. [Mis-shapes], [Disco 2000], [Common People] [Monday Morning] - Anthemic pop/rock heard nationwide at weddings, radio 2 and throwback discos. For good reason though. [Sorted for Es and Wizz] was a hidden classic for me. It has that otherworldly quality only the best substances provide. [Feeling called love][I spy] Are songs where I could do without the lyrics/vocals. The music itself is very enjoyable. Moody, synth heavy and satisfying tonal shifts. [Pencil Skirt], [Underwear] [Live Bed Show] - not sure what context you'd listen to these songs, the lyrical themes are creepy and the music is passable pop. [Something's changed][Bar Italia] Meh. Feel a bit like songs a drunk wedding singer would have in their repitoire. It lands ultimately at 2.5 for me.

This is just not for me. Never been a fan, never will be a fan. Anemic, boring, annoying. Meh.

So much going on, very hard to Digest but some great songs

5/5 https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/pulp/different-class/ Absolute banger from start to end. Disco 2000 and Common People on a single album? Should be a crime! Jarvis Cocker's lyrics are so witty, it's insane. Love this album to death.

Been listening to this since 1995. Amazing album, superb sound, devine memories.

Interesting sound.

In an earlier era you would get an album and listen to it front to back, paying attention to the lyrics maybe, paying attention to the music and melodies on the second pass. Kind of sad that those days are gone (for me mostly). But this album absolutely requires a full listen at least once through because of the storyline that plays out across it. The big wall of sound production does two things that I think are really interesting here. First, it gives the whole thing a big cinematic feel. Second, there’s a fun irony having such a huge sweeping sound underpinning the pedestrian, sad sack pop tunes. It’s a good record. Entertaining. You could cherry-pick “Common People” out, that one song can live on its own, definitely defines this whole thing, brilliant stuff. The rest requires the context of the album for it to make sense.

Totally fine. I liked the hits off of it but some of the other songs were a bit weak

This is nowhere near a perfect album, but I don’t feel comfortable giving it anything less than a “perfect score.” See, a 10/10 isn’t a score that means “perfect.” Nothing is perfect to a being that changes every day, every hour, every minute, by design. 10s are instead a tier, a higher echelon of albums that you can easily reach for in your mind to recommend to those who seek your musical knowledge (which MANY of my friends do in fact). So, this album, “Different Class” by Pulp, is an album about many things, which generally falls into two categories, which generally fall into one big category of profound dissatisfaction, with the backdrop of wealth and excess. Opener “Mis-Shapes” establishes the theme of the lower class “Common People” hold contempt for the richer members of society, and have the aim to take their lives from them using their minds. Which, a great premise. I love it. And then, we get into the various sexcapades of the album, all of them putting on full display this resounding unhappiness with life, particularly in the case of upper class women, with songs like “Pencil Skirt,” “Common People,” “Live Bed Show,” “Underwear,” and arguably “Monday Morning” and “Bar Italia.” They’re these real dark songs, that seem to directly portray these feelings of sadness, and discomfort, and apathy toward life brought on by the roles that one must play as a rich person… doing rich people things. And the SOUND of the album! When I saw that it was listed as “Britpop,” I was scared it’d be something like a Blur or Oasis, both bands I can enjoy, but both bands that are clearly not for me, as much as I may like some of their work. But this!! It’s layered, it’s well-played, it’s INSANELY well-sung, and it employs a beautiful range of influences and genres, each song feeling distinct but it’s still sooooooooo consistent. I say this about a lot of albums, but I’m gonna be returning to this one incredibly often. Frankly one of my favorites that this site has given me. 10/10

What the hell is common people what is this bs… The instrumental is super cool I just don’t fw the whole theme of it all Like I’ll love the music and then he’ll say smth dumb like “above the place I first touched a girl’s chest” and it ruins the vibe Fuck Disco 2000 outro is tuff Feelingcalledlove outro 😱 Fuck this might be a good album I saved: I spy, Disco 2000, feelingcalledlove But bar italia was cool too

Achei bem interessante, mas assim, não vou dizer cópia descarada, mas que é uma sonoridade cuspida e escarrada do David Bowie, principalmente do Young Americans, Heroes etc, ele é. Sério, é bem bom, mas é impossível se desvencilhar do Bowie ouvindo este disco.

Some sort of line could be drawn from The Kinks and Squeeze to Pulp. Full of songs about the disappointment of suburban life, sex and relationships. It's like what you might get if Morrisey had an ounce of talent.

Pulp Notable Textzeile: Why live in the world when you can live in your head? Mm, and you can go out late from Monday till Saturday turns into Sunday And now we're back here at Monday so you can do it all over again Jarvis hat von Nein heißt Nein und Stop heißt Stop vermutlich bis heute noch nichts gehört - oder will es nicht verstehen. Every other Song ist textlich absolut creepy. Die dazwischen dann halt echt große Hits. Das beschreibt mein Verhältnis zu dieser Band. Es gibt Sachen die ich sehr sehr mag und ganz viel Zeug das mich nur nervt. Wegen der aus heutiger Sicht wirklich unmöglichen Sachen 2,5 zu 3

Der einzige Indie Club in Cambridge (Koko?!?) hat immer zum Ende der Nacht einen Song aus Different Class gespielt. Die zweifache Form von Different im Album - das britische Klassensystem und das sich anders fühlen/sehen (Mis-shapes, mistakes, misfits etc) war da natürlich ebenso zaunpfahlig wie auf dem Album, das ich nicht nur deswegen sehr mag. Manche Somgs könnten mehr auf den Punkt gebracht sein, und zum Ende gibt es den einen oder anderen Filler. Trotzdem

Halt Stop. Ist "The Look" von Metronomy ein Cover von Feeling Calles Love? 🤯🤯🤯 Came for the Hits, stayed for the Rest. Bestätigt mich darin: muss mehr Pulp hören und das ist schön mit das beste was die 90er in UK hervorgebracht haben.

A bit inconsistent at times, but there is some good stuff on here. I preferred the first half and found the second a bit tedious. This album could have been trimmed a bit. Favorite Track - Disco 2000 Least Favorite Track -F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E ⭐️⭐️⭐️

The high points justify a 4. Inconsistent but when it’s great it’s great.

Absolute classic

Honestly I was expecting better but common people is enough to get it at less 4 stars on its own

Hot take: Jarvis Cocker is a better-dressed version of Roger Waters.

You win, Doug

This is how you start and end an album. So refreshing to hear a good album exactly of its time. A lot of songs that should have been bigger hits. My very obvious favs: - "I spy" is like an opera piece, or a James Bond theme song... - "Disco 2000" drummer understood the assignment. early y2k panic? Great songs, catchy, has layers but not overly produced. More of this and less jazz please

Jeg er IKKE inkarneret Pulp-lytter - langt fra. Så de fleste af numrene er egentlig ukendte for mig. Jeg ved, at Pulp nok har haft større indflydelse, end man generelt tilskriver dem herhjemme, og derfor kommer nogle af numrene også til at lyde genkendelige for mig men sandsynligvis ud fra, hvad de har inspireret frem for, hvad de selv har indspillet. Jeg er lidt splittet mellem en 3'er og en 4'er her. Mere specifikt er det et spørgsmål, om de netop hopper over tærsklen på 3.7 for at få en 4'er. Det er dog ikke noget, jeg kommer til at sætte på igen i morgen, og det ville jeg måske have mere lyst til, hvis jeg gav den 4. 3.6

Lowkey wanted to skip a lot of songs. Great storytelling but the vocals are lacking for me. It really took away from the overall experience because there’s some good stuff on here as well. Torn.

Only Jarvis Cocker could sell an album about resentment against the upper class, being horny and being horny while resenting the upper class, and then have it contain multiple of the most anthemic songs of the 90's.

I didn't hate it but very tempting to skip a lot of the songs. Maybe I'm just not in the mood for it today.

dada, 5

All the accolades are deserved

Brilliant album with some of the best songs ever 9/10

I've actually already given this a go back then but to actually resurface it.. the album is very political also, it's good but I wouldn't binge it again? If i was younger, maybe around 15 again -- I would see myself bashing it into the likes of the cure

Interesting. Catchy, boppy and some weirdness that you don't tend to get on modern albums.

It's perfect bro

Fun and interesting slice of 90s britpop life. Quite a few hits on this but some really dodgy lyrics. 4/5

It feels like an interesting record within a genre that is not always the most interesting out there. It is a joyful record which contains some decent highlights. 7/10 [KEEP]

Britpop is a hit or miss (more miss to be honest) with me, and I know this particular album is held in high regard so it was nice when it popped up to check it out. Pretty good, must be said, even if I don't necessarily listen to this kind of music.

wow nope

The music is quite solid, although not revolutionary in terms of production or melodies. The lyrics though, are quite poor, and even though I don't usually listen to music it was quite prominent and detracted from the general sound of the album. Probably fits into the "cheeky British" side of British 90s rock, which I am not quite a fan of.

Listening to this record felt a lot like watching "Repo! The Genetic Opera"; if you like this record, you'll probably enjoy that movie. 1995 feels like an unpopular time to make an operatic goth record. I know goth new wave had it's moment in the 80s (The Cure, Depeche Mode, etc.) and again around 2000 (Deadsy, Orgy, Powerman 5000, etc.) but it doesn't seem like this was the thing in 1995. Just like the The Darkness album I got yesterday, that out-of-placeness makes me inclined to down-rate this. I'm not sure how influential it is if it didn't really drive a movement. Also, I'm not really a lyrics guy, but that whole "I really love it when you tell me to stop, Oh it's turning me on" thing was weird.

Yeah this really is just fucking amazing isn't it. Common People is obviously a classic but every song on here is just as catchy and just as amazingly written. Possibly the single best britpop album ever.

Different Class was a super cool album I'd never heard of! Kind of spoken word storytelling over poppy electronic/rock music. It's a bit creepy, intruiging, and overall cool. There's some pretty hard guitars here too and I really like the electronic pieces where they come in. This is the kind of 90s music that I love. It's weird but still accessible on the surface. It sounds older than it is, yet still like something that could be done today in the 2020s by someone purposely going for a "retro" sound, but I dont think anyone has the balls to do something like this these days. Standouts on this listen are "Mis-Shapes" "Common People" and "Sorted for E's & Wizz" Yeah, really cool album, goes on a bit long but there's a lot to digest here. A little too much talking for me, but it's a pretty strong 4/5.

Kind of a cousin of Pink Floyd, but less serious. Quite enjoyable!

Overshadowed by the incredible singles. Disco 2000 and Common People are some of my favourite Brit Pop songs. The rest of the album doesn’t reach those lofty heights but still a bop.

Underwear is such a good song. A great 90s rock album.

I actually can’t stand pulp no matter how hard I try his voice puts me off so much. It kind of gave me a lot of nothing. Pencil Skirt actually hurt me to listen to, why is he singing like that I can’t. Only Chino Moreno can moan/whisper in my ear like that.

To me this was a whole bunch of not that much. Didn't interest me. I kinda felt like id heard all before, mabye I'm just not into it. His voice reminded me a little of David Bowie. I didnt struggle to get through this one, but it didnt interest me too much. I did however quite like Feeling Called Love (im not typing all that), there was something about that one that I liked, the rest not as much.

Unfortunately I didn’t jam with this. There were some good moments, but 85% of the time I felt flat. Most of the lyrics were pretty odd. Felt like background music, but not in a good way.

Listened previously. Expectations: Mid - Verdict: Very Good - Mis-Shapes is a great track and Pencil Skirt is pretty good. Common People has become an anthem and although it's a bit overplayed it is a great song. I Spy is another great track and Disco 2000 another obvious hit. I like F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E. a lot. It's been quite a while since I listened to this in full and I definitely enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Really good album throughout.

Actually been going through an arc for this genre this last week or so, but man for as highly touted as this album is this did not hit as I expected. Cooker sounds like David Bowie rolling off Molly at an after party here. Now throw that over some oasis type beats and we have this album. I actually get some Morrisey vibes here too. Idk I don’t have much to say about this one. Some of this Brit pop is just so so so beige there’s really no use in repeating myself with half these albums. I’m sure we’ll meet again, Pulp.

Okay I have some time to update this I like dance 2000 I need it listen to this really hard. Okay update I have listened and it’s just okay it’s Brit pop doesn’t go anywhere. Some good songs and bar Italia played as I walked into an Italian bar

EASILY the best britpop album by a far and wide country mile. Pulp is elating music that demands a reaction on my nervous system. Every chorus pumps me up, the lyrics and stories are enthralling, and the band sounds great. "Common People" may be one of the best songs ever made. Fuck the Blur vs. Oasis talk, Pulp was the best and everybody who's anybody knew it

2/5

норм, но ожидания были побольше из-за страны происхождения.......

pretty good! though the album's variety isn't super good

heard some of these jams before and enjoyed em, nice to hear the rest of it

Just fine

It’s alright. Nothing special here.

One of the better of these 90s Britpop albums

Ok sound
