Thoughts

I loved this. You never really know what to expect with a Pulp album but I feel like this was just a grown up, slightly more existential version of what they used to do in the Britpop era. The music is great, the vocals excellent - I could honestly listen to Jarvis Cocker do that sort of singy-talky thing he does all day. The genres vary without being jarring, and there's lots of great instrument work in there... I really enjoyed it!
