More // Pulp
Archetypal Pulp: catchy, energetic and melancholic. The themes of each track have grown up just as the band have too, avoiding the revival landmine of talking like teenagers when you're old enough to parent one.

Different Class // Pulp
Pulp nail the pop/rock formula to near perfection. The themes aren’t necessarily cheerful, yet the album sounds like a celebration from beginning to end.

Modern Life Is Rubbish // Blur
Inconsistent, but there's a lot to dig. The songwriting is hard to knock, and Damon Albarn leads the pack well with his social satires and cutting commentary.

There’s very little on These People to inspire much interest. Even die-hard fans will struggle to hear Richard Ashcroft at his best.

Jarvis // Jarvis Cocker
This is pop music for the mature listener; easy to consume, enjoyable enough, but flimsy and a little watered down compared to Cocker's work with Pulp.
