Album Notes & Community Reviews

On 'Different Class', Pulp perfected their brand of theatrical, synth-driven pop, creating a soundscape that is both grandly arranged and melodically immediate. Frontman Jarvis Cocker’s songwriting is central, offering bitingly clever dissections of the British social class system and sexual politics that defined the Britpop era through anthems like "Common People" and "Disco 2000".
