This Is Hardcore
by Pulp
Very fitting the first album of the 1001 I get is from one of my favourite bands! - This album isn't nearly as immediate as Different Class but is well worth repeat listens. In terms of a follow up to how big Class was, they can consider what they produced here to be very good material. - The first five tracks on here are an incredibly solid run. Hardcore is a phenomenal track and it's a shame The Fear hasn't made a return to the setlist in 2023/2024. - Glory Days is a fine track but would be better in it's original Cocaine Socialism format. - Day After The Revolution is an enjoyable closer but it's a big shame Like A Friend wasn't used instead (probably a top five Pulp track!).
