Review

Pulp's "Different Class" is a brilliant gem from the Britpop era! Dropping in 1995, it snagged the top spot on the UK Albums Chart and even took home the 1996 Mercury Music Prize. With four top-ten singles like "Common People," "Sorted for E's & Wizz," "Disco 2000," and "Something Changed," this album was both a critical darling and a commercial dynamo. The witty and biting lyrics from Jarvis Cocker delve into British life, exploring social class and identity with a mix of new wave, disco, and synth-pop vibes that keep things fresh and captivating.

"Common People" is a real standout track, with its catchy chorus and sharp lyrics that dissect social class divisions in the UK. It's a powerful anthem that mingles unity with biting social commentary, showcasing Cocker's songwriting prowess. This album's timelessness has cemented it as a Britpop classic, playing a huge part in the soundtrack of the '90s and influencing a new generation of musicians. Certified four times platinum in the UK, "Different Class" is absolutely essential listening for anyone who wants to dive deep into the cultural and musical heartbeat of the 1990s. - Ava
