5.0 out of 5 stars jarvis rocks my socks off, October 24, 2003

I adore this album, though i always skip the track "my legendary girlfriend". I love the violin solos on "don't you want me anymore" and "separations" because they are very haunting, and i enjoy this album for this specific reason. "Death II" makes me feel utterly happy inside, and want to break out and dance. I usually feel like I need to like all songs on an album in order for it to be my favourite from that group, but in this case, these three song do it for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Try it. You'll probably like it., April 2, 1999

This review is from: Separations (Audio CD)

I bought this album because of the Amazon reviews. I'd been afraid of it before then, and thought it would be pretty awful. It isn't sophisticated, but the music doesn't suffer as a result of this. What's possibly disappointing about the album is that Jarvis's lyrics seem a bit too sincere, but they're not nearly as clever as, say, the touching, beautifully observed portraits of women you get on His n Hers. Still they're better than most peoples lyrics - the line: 'I've never seen you look so...ugly' is a nice glint of the greatness that was to come. It's a fun album, you want to dance to it, and the sound is crisp and easy to listen to (rather than easy listening) and there's a lot of originality. If you like Pulp, you'll probably be pleased you took a chance.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brillant!, February 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Separations (Audio CD)

When I first bought this album home from the shops and put it on I wasn't all that impressed but after a few more listens it occurs to you that this is one beatiful album. It is nothing like any other Pulp albums which gives it that raw edge. It ranges from a dark yet still quite bouncy "Love is Blind" to a dancing disco number called "Death 2".The first half of this record is quite freaky and sad. Songs like "Do you want me anymore" which is about a girlfriend who has left him to a three minute story about a person who drowned in a river called "Down by the river". The second half of the record is pure disco music, this sounds amazing due to Jarvis's snarling vocal style. I highly recommend this CD to all Pulp fan's. To fan's who only have "This is Hardcore" beware to hear some different Pulp and all the very best in trying to try to get it out of your CD player....You carn't!
