Editorial Reviews

Pulp has suffered the twin misfortunes of releasing an era-defining pop hit in 1995's "Common People" and a boasting a gangly, instantly recognizable frontman in Jarvis Cocker who is better known than his songs. The years spent as an indie land produced some fine (and not-so-fine) songs. It's easy to forget just how brilliant the band can be, as witnessed by the shimmering, slow-burning beauty of "Last Day of the Miners' Strike." With a dignity that few of his contemporaries could muster, Cocker sings "Some joker with a headband is getting chicks for free" and name-checks kids spitting on the town hall and frightening old ladies. "The future's ours for the taking now, if we just stick together." Let's hope for the future of guitar pop that they do. --Ben Johncock

This review is from: Hits (Audio CD)

I learned to love Pulp with this compilation, and I think that anyone who's interested in this band should do the same. "Hits" is just a perfect compilation, covering the non-Fire period of Pulp, from "Intro" to "We love Life", and also featuring a new track, which is ironically the only deceiving track of the compilation. This cd is good from the first to the last song and slowly takes you throughout Pulp's wonderfull career, making you (re)discover unforgettable hits such as "Babies", "Lipgloss", "Common People" and "This is hardcore". Needless to say there's no fillers here. Weither you're already a Pulp fan or not, I strongly recommend this beautiful retrospective of Pulp's best years, that will make you want to here more and more of this incredible band.
