WHO: Pulp
WHAT: More
WHY: I should have known my love for Pulp runs too deep for this album not be one of my highlights of the year. I thought it was just OK at first, but the more I listen to it (and I mean REALLY listen), the more I started appreciating what Jarvis was cooking. More sounds distinctly Brit-Pop, which now is just rock with pop tendencies. This is a more grown-up Pulp: interested in appreciating and loving the world we’re living in instead of dwelling on what they’re owed. It’s a glass-half-full band (almost), and when it hits you just right, it’s everything you need.
Listen to it on YouTube because Pulp’s management doesn’t appreciate Bandcamp.
