... much in the spotlight as guitar and violin were placed at the very epicenter of the sound. If you are scared by perviness or do not understand irony, avoid at all costs, Jarvis can be sort of Kenneth Williams in a gimp suit at times, but in a nice let's go down the pub and get it on later kinda way... but don't get me started on that. If I had to choose a PRE- fame PULP favourite I would prob ably choose Death at the Disc...more

I am writing this op without relying on my spellcheck or anything else other than my immense admiration of those crazy cats PULP. I first came across Jarvis and co , in the twilight hours. I was studying for my GCSE's while watching the television. Lo and behold I saw a skinny type of character singing about wanting someone to be his girlfriend.. to give them babies.

I have always liked Jarvis Cocker. Whatever anyone may say, I think he’s quite cool, and he deserves respect forever for shaking his arse at Michael Jackson at the Brits. I have been a fan of Pulp for a while, but have never liked them quite enough to buy any of their albums. I have, howwever, repeatedly borrowed many of their efforts from friends of mine who are more committed to Pulp fandom. Pulp are unique, and I think their not inconsiderable talent is quite evident throughout their many releases. Never afraid to sound obscure, I think it is their commitment to innovation in and evolution of their music which has placed them so prominently in the minds ... Read the complete review
