When the Brit-Pop scene in UK emerged in the beginning of the 90's, Pulp where already there. This
veteran Band, which was formed in Sheffield in
1978, has released 3 albums during their career until the singles from His
N' Hers (1994) started to climb to the charts' high places. The next
release, Different Class (1995) became very popular due to two
hit singles: Disco 2000 and Common People, which paved their way
to the mainstream together with Brit-Pop mates such as Oasis, Suede
and Blur. Nothing could prepare the audience to the sixth studio album,
which was released on 30th of March, 1998. This Is Hardcore
dealt with the dark side of humanity in the modern era – lack of love (unless
you buy it for money), aging, thoughts about revolution which might change the
social order and other issues. Jarvis Cocker, Candida Doyle, Steve Mackey,
Mark Webber and Nick Banks broke all the dreams of meritocracy and unveil
the fake sides we adopt in order to get along in this competitive world. The
album got very positive critiques in UK while totally ignored in the US,
reaching #114 place in the charts. Now, it's time
to memorize why it was such a
great album
