The experiments in sound here sound even worse to me than the bland-twee of Pulp's debut. Gothic rock just doesn't suit Cocker's vocals at all imo
I Want You is one of the best songs ever recorded. i will fight you to the death if you disagree
Pulp's Most Gothic Project (Hopefully So Far)
It's such a shame that Pulp never really revisits this sound again the future aside from some small moments on Separations. As I think they really pull this sound off here alongside the B-Sides from the singles here and on the EP's before this album and it's so painful that the band view this period as "Embarrassing" because I can still see so much potential in this direction of the band.

This is kinda theatrical and goofy at times but it's weirdly charming I honestly felt less weird about myself after listening to this. My favorite tracks are def the more desperate sounding ones instead of the dramatic ones yk? (favorite are i want you, being followed home, they suffocate at night, aborgine, manon)
'I Want You' is probably my favourite Pulp song, but the rest of the album is not very good
This is my personal least favorite I see what they were trying to do but it was just not there, but it wasent all that bad there were some good songs to come out of this album like "I want you" and "anorexic beauty"
