Is this the light of a new day dawning? A future bright that you can walk in? No it's just another monday morning, we'll do it all over again. Appropriate album title is appropriate, because this album really is different class. By far and large the best album the Britpop era produced. How Blur and Oasis were seen as the big two, I'll never know because Different Class truly is the best Britpop album, I can't think of anything that comes close to this. Well, I know why they were seen as the big two because they were the most commercially successful, but Pulp were the best.

Common People' is clearly the best song of the last one thousand years, a tumult of bombast and fury underpinned by withering pathos -- "if you called your dad / he could stop it all, yeah". It's sudden flashes of a brutal real like that which set Pulp apart. What other culture redefines the 'chav' (hateful word) stereotype as owner of a bitter secret heart? What does reserve labour think of alone in its cell after lights out?
