Classic, if just for Common People alone. All the rest of it is just dressing. They've done enough top stuff to forgive the crap they did pre-His 'n' Hers, as well. Hell, they'd get classic even if all they ever did was Jarvis's behavior at the Brits re: Michael Jackson.
And they certainly help their case in that Jarvis was also involved in the most fantastic song ever, Set The Controls For The Heart of the Pelvis.

I remember a great interview with Arab Strap which was all bah we hate Pulp they pretend to be filthy and sordid but they prettify everything, it is WE who are filthy and sordid. So some people don't like them.
Classic. I'll probably get bored later on - well I'm bored now but you know what I mean - and try and explain why a bit more.

but still: classic. one of the few bands in these here modern times who never cease to put out something i enjoy. hopefully that streak will continue with the new album -- the live songs i've heard from it, or that are supposed to be from it, anyway, are great but they say that it's never good when it takes a band forever to complete an album and there are stories of the whole thing being scrapped and re-recorded...but they say a lot of things, don't they? besides, scott walker and marianne faithfull attached to the project? how can it go wrong! it's a 60s freak-out party!

Pulp as a band I think are pretty mediocre to be honest. I wouldn’t care if he dumped them and went to work with someone new. I liked his work with All Seeing Eye musically more than anything Pulp have recorded. So Pulp dud, Jarvis potential classic but too early to call.
― Guy, Wednesday, 25 April 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link
The things that some people have been criticizing them for, like the ott factor, are part of what makes their music so good. They're not afraid to go over the top; something they have in common with great pop music. Indie bands tend to try for the "tastefully restrained" approach far too often.
And I don't think there's anything twee about Pulp -- there's a bitterness and desperation that's a subtext to too many of the songs to qualify for that. People tend to play up the lyrics when talking about Pulp, but I think the music is pretty excellent as well. Their sound was always a little too much in love with chart pop and disco to ever fall victim to the grey and plodding behemoth known as Britpop.
AND even if His N Hers, A Different Class and This Is Hardcore were not three of my favorite albums, I am such a pathetic and sad Scott Walker fan that I would immediately rate any band that let him produce their record. ;-)
― Nicole, Wednesday, 25 April 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link
His'n'Hers and Different Class alone are enough: classic. How they redeemed the mid-90s for me; the Pinefox's counter-argument is tempting but a classic misunderstanding of a band through discredit- by-association.

I'm sure the curse of Momus would have put Pulp somewhere between World of Twist and Denim. And Michael Jackson, his sails full of the wind of unchallenged messianic megalomania, would have made five brilliant new pop albums all produced by Cornelius.

but i almost never play them anymore. somehow, its seems too reminiscent of 1995. it seems almost wrong to play them now, out of that context (speaking subjectively here). this is a shame really, because they are such a classic. i hardly play stereolab any more either.
sometimes bands seems very tied to a particular era, and its difficult to extricate them from that.
everything post-different class is slightly disappointing

Snub TV, circa 1990. World of Twist playing 'The Storm' and then being interviewed.
"We definitely see ourselves as a pop band, not rock" says the monkey boy leader. Much nodding of heads from the other band members.
I sit there and think "Yeah yeah, like you're so radical for saying that. God this indieboy pro-pop thing is starting to annoy me"
The funny thing is, looking back I'm not even sure why I thought this. Whose line did I think World of Twist were parroting? It wasn't like I was familiar with early 80s NME rhetoric. How did I get so opinionated so young? Maybe I just thought they'd nicked ideas I'd started to have about pop music and were cross that they'd made a hash of it.
Pulp: CLASSIC by the way, but I completely sympathise with pinefox's attempt to locate his problem with consensus outside the trappings of moronic snobbery. Don't understand why everyone is going on about 'Common People'. If ever there was a song that has been completely newtered through overexposure, that is it. I tend to skip it when I listen to 'Different Class' now.
What I find weird about 'This Is Hardcore' is that it contains perhaps their two finest achievements in the title track and 'The Fear', one pretty good track in 'Help the Aged', and then the rest is just treading water. Seriously, when I first put on the album and heard the opening track, I thought it was going to be the best record ever made. Then that godawful line about sharing the same initials as Jesus came on (is there anything more annoying than when he repeats it at the end of the song in case you didn't catch how clever it was the first time round?) and disillusion set in once more. *sigh*

good point. i think "1997" has become shorthand for about four years of podding around when i first moved to glasgow. i can no longer differentiate between any of the memories. if it happened when i was living on kent road, my mind has it filed as 1997.
anyway. "hardcore" is disappointing. the first, title and closing tracks are great; the rest has left little impression.
but it's still "trees" i'm humming to myself as i liquidise my soup. (and no, that's not a euphemism.)

So after those two (and the EP collection "Intro"), I'd say listen to "This is Hardcore", then "We Love Life", and if you're still with them, jump into the older stuff. "Freaks" is a personal fave of mine -- a disturbing, even gruesome near-classic record. Then grab "Masters of the Universe" (a collection of EPs from around the same time as "Freaks"), then "Separations".
I haven't heard their first album, "It".

It would appear that "Underwear," which has yet to be mentioned here, is seen as one of their more forgettable tracks or something. It's one of my favorite 90's tracks, and possibly my favorite Pulp song. It is fucking perfect and beautiful, and anyone who thinks differently can eat dicks.

in his greatest kitchen sink operettes the lyrics are witty, esoteric, original and utterly effortless. "common people" on the other hand is IMO hackneyed, patronising, tryhard, and contrived. yes, i understand it is the protagonist in the story who is mainly the source of the patronising take on the working classes, yet this is exaggerated (and repeated endlessly) becoming increasingly divorced from the ultra-realistic stylings of jarv's best work. it is caricature to an extent where it ceases to be believable; and as a working class boy who went to a posh university i know these people exist, it's just a bit more subtle, insidious, and well...real.
to me CP always smelt of jarv knowingly creating something which would cause a bit of a rumpus and become a hit. in this regard he spectacularly succeeded so fair play to him but i think he is even on record himself as saying it is not among his favourite pulp tracks. the tune is average too, even asuming he didn't rip it off (which frankly i dont care about anyway).
anyhow, thought i'd let it all pour out. i love jarv, i love pulp, but i hate common people.
ok. go on then. do your worst....

Jarvis Cocker has sparked rumours of a Pulp reunion, saying he'll "think about it a little bit more".Although Jarvis dismissed rumours Pulp would be performing at next year's Glastonbury Festival, he admitted the furore surrounding these allegations caught his imagination.He told this week's NME: "I suppose it made me think a little bit - the fact that people did seem interested, that made me think about it a little bit more."

i was surprised at how vitriolic russell was about jarvis's 'pop star' era in a recent interview for a MOJO special. he left because he got sick of all the attention he was getting but reading jarvis's interviews circa the late 90s you'd never have guessed there was any animosity between them. it's true it was never the same when he left, no matter how good some of the tunes were.

Text received last night:
"Watchinbg Pulp at Wireless. It's 'Different Class' plus other bits :( "
I concur... 'Different Class' put me off them completely after adoring 'His 'n' Hers'..which I still adore. I barely checked 'This Is Hardcore' but I did buy 'We Love Life' which I'm kind of meh about (and not on my own, I guess).
Not tempted by the reformation shows..and if they're doing mostly DC...I'd not be arsed at festivals either.

Hmm. I didn't think the crowd was as bad as for Blur two years ago. Not quite so aggressively lary at least.
― Pheeel, Monday, 4 July 2011 11:55 (twelve years ago) link
Where I was they weren't aggressive but fucking annoying. Singing along where appropriate is one thing, but accompanying every line (including instrumental parts) with high pitched yapping is quite another. Much more civilised crowd when I saw them in Barcelona.
Personally think 55 quid for a day ticket to a festival isn't too unreasonable.
― Upt0eleven, Monday, 4 July 2011 12:06 (twelve years ago) link
Maybe. Day festivals tend to pitch lower than that I think don't they? Isn't Field Day about £30?
I smirked at a friend's comments yesterday:
Today Pulp are playing Hyde Park, in association with Barclaycard. £55.25 not including booking fee for the common people
Or £155.00 for the less common people. For this you get a private entrance away from the scum, a chill-out area and hot & cold BBQ platters
If you're not common at all, VIP tickets are £235.00. For this you also get a private bar and a special grandstand viewing area.
And from there, you can sing along: "you will never understand how it feels to live your lives with no meaning or control..."
― One Big Craigo, Full Of Bad Boingos (Craigo Boingo), Monday, 4 July 2011 12:40 (twelve years ago) link

That "VIP" enclosure towered over the area for disabled people, which I thought was a lovely touch.
― Neil S, Monday, 4 July 2011 12:45 (twelve years ago) link
Russell's not coming to Australia, so be interesting to see if they play more Hardcore/Love tracks here.
They're also doing their only other two non-festival shows apart from the warm-up, so hoping very hard that they do the amount of pre-DC stuff from that setlist...
― undeɹrated ærosm?th b∞tlegs I have pwned (sic), Monday, 4 July 2011 12:48 (twelve years ago) link
Field Day may be cheaper but it doesn't have headliners of the same level and is by all accounts the worst organised festival in Britain.
Heavily-skewed towards Different Class (and to a lesser extent His N Hers) but if you're going to play a limited number of comeback shows then why not draw heavily from the records people love the most?
Actually the epic This Is Hardcore -> Sunrise was one of the best bits about last night but I can't claim that I was holding out for much more from the last couple of albums.
Crowd were fine from where I was standing.
― Matt DC, Monday, 4 July 2011 13:07 (twelve years ago) link
Was quite amusing to hear people singing "shit ground no fans" at that area.

Didn't see Blur, so that's v possible, and I think maybe I was a bit unlucky with geezer-packs. Enjoyed it once we'd manouevred away a bit.
& upt011 otm, worst for me was a deafening version of Something Changed (verse, chorus, breaks) shrieked behind my left ear.
£55 is ok for a big-name day festival I guess (Field Day is £40) – I was just v hesitant to buy and grouchy because I was basically treating it as a one-band big gig.
― you don't exist in the database (woof), Monday, 4 July 2011 13:08 (twelve years ago) link
Just to sicken all of you folk who went to wireless, amazingly I saw them last week at the St Martins College closing party, they played unnanounced in the common room in front of a few hundred. Was insane, one of the most magical gigs ive been at.'All the London summer day fests are horrible, its all a bit 'dave from accounts has had an e'. Field day should be half the size and have half as many folk playing as its ran by chancers, i spent all of last year sitting outside tents struggling to hear what was going on. There was also about twice as many people there than there should be last year, the door staff were taking peoples tickets and touting them out the front
― straightola, Monday, 4 July 2011 13:25 (twelve years ago) link
To be fair to Pulp, that VIP business, loathsome though it is, is standard for Wireless so I doubt the band had any say over it. Hyde Park events always have a high chattering-twat quota, getting worse with certain bands. I had to see Kings of Leon there for work and it was a real come-Armageddon-come moment.
Was it only Sunrise and This Is Hardcore from the last two albums? Love Sunrise - saw them on the We Love Life tour when they were also playing a krauted-up version of Common People and that was the highlight.

The last time they played the States was 1998...13 years...entire generations (like me) have grown up, gone to college, discovered Pulp, lived their lives, etc. in that time period...would murder to see them live. Saw Jarvis solo once and it was spectacular, but clearly a shadow of what it could/should have been. Seems ludicrous a band of that size/influence only played in America a handful of times.

Very classic last night. The final pre-encore stretch of Babies, This Is Hardcore, Sunrise, Bar Italia and Common People was astounding (the middle three all, I realised, about the consequences of hedonism). Despite all the funny between-song chat, what strikes me now, far more than in the 90s, is the jealousy, revenge and all-round emotional desperation rather than the wit. The atmosphere was celebratory but the songs are fraught and sinister. They felt necessary, which is how any worthwhile reunion should feel.
Also liked Jarvis introducing Common People with Eldridge Cleaver's problem/solution quote because it was Cleaver's birthday yesterday.

Saw the (world premiere of, apparently) the new doco at the Sydney Film Festival on Saturday night. Hadn't known until the opening titles that Russell properly left during the reunion, not just skipping the long-flight legs. It's a good movie, but isn't really about the band, at all; more about what it's like for the city of Sheffield to have the homecoming/farewell show of one of their best known bands taking place.

Christ, Freaks is such a strange record... on one hand, you can hear a very rough version of the band that they would eventually become but on the other, there's these bizarre tracks that are reminiscent of early Gorky's Zygotic Mynci(!) ... Jarvis' fake Morrissey vibrato on this record is hilarious, too.
― The Anti-Climax Blues Band (Turrican), Wednesday, 28 June 2017 20:01 (six years ago) link
Listening to Different Class right now for the first time in a long time, and while the likes of 'Common People' and 'Disco 2000' are starting to feel relatively fresh to my ears these days (they were both inescapable in the mid '90s), the tracks that are grabbing me this time around are the lesser cited deep cuts like 'Live Bed Show' and 'Underwear' ... I remember thinking at the time that 'Something Changed' was my least favourite of the singles released from this album, but now it's one of my absolute favourites, and 'F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E' sounds as great as ever.
― Gholdfish Killah (Turrican), Tuesday, 21 November 2017 20:44 (six years ago) link
Underwear is quite possibly their best song. Live 105 in the Bay Area gave it steady rotation in the fall of ‘95. First song that turned me onto Pulp.
― LimbsKing, Tuesday, 21 November 2017 20:54 (six years ago) link
That's incredible! It wasn't released as a single here or anything, and I think half the album (or something like that) had been released as a single by the time it had run its course.
― Gholdfish Killah (Turrican), Tuesday, 21 November 2017 21:31 (six years ago) link

Different Class is perfect, just a towering achievement in songwriting. My only complaint is that "I Spy" might be a little too long? I don't know, that's really nitpicking.
On a theory note, these guys really love the IV-iv turnaround.

aaah I haven't listened to this album in years. It reminds me so much of trips to London, hanging around in bars and clubs circa 96...I think I remember passing in front of Bar Italia !Anyway, I would have to listen to it again but iirc it was such a great album.I remember particularly liking "E's & Wizz" and the over the top disco moment in "I Spy" !
― AlXTC from Paris, Wednesday, 22 November 2017 08:28 (six years ago) link
When I heard 'Disco 2000' last night, I was amazed at just how well it slotted in with all the new wave/synthpop I've been listening to a lot over the last few years. If I'd never heard the song before and you told me it had been released anywhere between 1977 and 1983 instead of 1995, I wouldn't have batted an eyelid.

In fact, generally speaking that particular era of UK guitar music were more influenced by the late '70s and early '80s than the '60s, which is what everyone seems to think. Aside from Oasis, whose influences are more early-mid '70s. There's more "'80s" in Pulp and Blur than folks realise or want to admit.

But yeah, 'Disco 2000' with its "disco" beat that a lot of British bands were utilising in the late '70s/early '80s, with its guitar riff that seems like it's been beamed directly from the late '70s Blondie song, vintage keyboards and a chorus that wouldn't have sounded out of place on a Dexys Midnight Runners track circa Too-Rye-Ay ... yeah, I'd say it fits in snugly.
― Gholdfish Killah (Turrican), Thursday, 23 November 2017 07:03 (six years ago) link
Yes, Wings are influenced by the '60s - thanks for that, Captain Obvious.
Pulp's early '80s work, although Cocker's voice is in place from the off, has a very different set of influences. It comes from a different place than the work which actually defines them.
― Gholdfish Killah (Turrican), Thursday, 23 November 2017 07:08 (six years ago) link
Disco 2000 seems like it was heavily influenced by Denim's 1st album especially "I'm Against the 80s" & "Here is my Song for Europe".

also I agree that mid90s brit guitar pop was more influenced by 70s and 80s bands and sounds than 60s.as for "Different Class". I listened to it yesterday following this thread.Actually, although they're great, I don't think I need to hear "Common People", "Disco 2000" and most of the rest again.I still enjoy "Es&Wizz" and "Underwear". Also agree that "Live Bed Show", which I never particularly liked, might be the one I find the most interesting now.

Anyway, to steer us away from this nonsense, I listened to This is Hardcore earlier and 'The Day After The Revolution' completely blew me away. Maybe it would have benefitted from being a couple of songs shorter, but I can't decide which ones... all the ones that tend to get cited as lesser moments: 'Sylvia', 'I'm a Man', 'TV Movie', 'A Little Soul' are ones that I still really like a lot.
