Different Class

Review

"Different Class" by Pulp is a quintessential Britpop album that captures the cultural nuances and social tensions of 1990s Britain with wit, style, and infectious energy. Released in 1995, the album showcases frontman Jarvis Cocker's sharp lyricism and charismatic delivery, painting vivid portraits of class divide and romantic disillusionment. Tracks like "Common People" and "Disco 2000" combine catchy melodies with biting social commentary, making them both anthemic and thought-provoking. The production is lush and dynamic, blending glam rock influences with a distinctive indie-pop flair. "Different Class" stands as one of the defining albums of its era — clever, bold, and unmistakably British.
