Free Music Notes for Different Class
Free Music Review: One of the best albums of all time
Hit: 5 Stars
Pulp "Different Class" is simply phenomenal. I discovered it by chance a couple of years ago. I read a short review of it and decided it seemed a good album. Well, it's much more than good. It's incredible. Every song is strong and laden with clever commentary on British society in the '90s (not unlike Blur's "Parklife," which I also highly recommend). Not only is the album an artistic heavyweight, but it is highly listenable. It is what pop was in the early '80s and hasn't been since (in my own opinion). For an even greater experience of British music at its best, I'd recommend buying "Different Class" and Blur "Parklife" at the same time. I think you won't be disappointed.Free Music Review: Pulp at it's finest . . . sociology with a melody
Hit: 5 Stars
My best friend told me that this was the best Pulp album . . . he was right. Jarvis' lyrics are intricate like clockwork, and he brings us sociological tales from the UK, with songs like "Common People" where an upperclass girl wants to live like common people, "Mishapes" about a lowerclass revolution, and "Sorted for E's and Wizz" a questioning look at ravelife in the UK. And who could forget "Disco 2000", the story of a young man grown up to remeet his secret childhood love. Just beware of what you're getting into: Jarvis is a unique guy, and his vocal renditions can be . . . interesting by conventional standards. If you like Pulp, if you like England, buy this.Free Music Review: Uniquely sly, catchy, clever and British
Hit: 5 Stars
If aliens came to this planet and wanted to find out what a British person is like, Jarvis Cocker would be the perfect example. His sarcastic lyrics and sly observations on British life and the class divide ("My favourite parks are car parks, grass is soemthing you smoke, birds are something you shag"), plus his panache and unusual style mark him out as a cult star.His knack for a classic pop song was ably demonstrated here too. Disco 2000 and Common People are great examples of this, both guaranteed to get you singing along whilst also having lyrical depth. Another favourite of mine is the dark and mischievous I-Spy, in which the aforementioned lyric is but one highlight. Check this album out now.
Free Music Review: Fan-TASTIC stuff!
Hit: 5 Stars
This album has everything you could want. A million listenings would not be enough to get all the humor and dirt and sex that is in "A Different Class." This makes you want to put on spangled shoes and be a rock star -- it is a huge, riotous, spooky, ambient, moody, loud CD. It has the size of great glam-era Bowie but the maudlin smarts of the Smiths. Highly recommended for dancing on tables, drinking vodka, and finding a too-young-for-you boyfriend. Also suitable for driving a convertible over flat, bare highways at night in a cowboy hat and sequined hot pants.(I think this album defies adjectives, so I am trying to capture the big-ness of this fab album.)
Free Music Review: Dickens for the 20th Century
Hit: 5 Stars
Of all of the stunningly British records to emerge over the course of the 90s, this has to be the one which I would expect to be utterly alien to a foreign audience. Whereas Blur always had an American influence via the lo-fi crunching skills of guitarist Graham Coxon (though they would not admit it even to themselves five years ago), Pulp make records so rooted in the perverse, inane and bizarre life of the British class system that it takes a certain familiarity with the English proletarian existence to unravel most elements of the record. Lyrically outstanding, this is a grand tour of English life both at its seediest and at its most entertaining.
