Rated 4/10

Self indulgent garbage. I’m sure he had fun making it- but he was thinking about himself far more than he was thinking about his poor listener. Not for me.

This has always been ‘The one with Hallelujah’ but boy was I impressed with the whole album. Fantastic voice and tunes, tinged with retrospective melancholy as there could have been so much more.

Utter garbage. I’m up for a bit of avant-garde as much (if not a little bit more) than the next man, but 💩 needs to be called 💩. An unpleasant, tuneless assault on the ears.

Rated 10/10

I had never heard this album of band before but on first listen fell in love with it. Catchy tunes, weird and wonderful lyrics, very strings and harmonies.
A hidden gem!

This Is Hardcore by Pulp delivers a raw and compelling mix of 90s indie vibes and candid lyricism. Jarvis Cocker’s introspective storytelling, paired with the album’s moody arrangements, creates a unique exploration of fame and vulnerability. It’s a solid listen for those who appreciate darker, more reflective moments in indie music.

Classic 80’s Madonna with some killers, but also a few fillers. I prefer some of the later albums (Music, Ray of Light) - but still a good’n

This band and album was completely new to me. Proto-punk apparently. Reminded me a little of Sex Bob-Omb (Scott Pilgrim). A raw, juvenile US garage band. It was ok, but won’t be added to my favourites list.

Almost perfect. The ultimate 80s album. One that has grown on me over the years rather than one I was drawn to immediately (The Smiths were everything in ‘85, but the more I hear this album the more I love it. Almost brings me to tears of joy and nostalgia every time.
