High Class Baby - Darrel Higham

Advantages: A fun alternative and eclectic sounding album
Disadvantages: None

...A good album from gym class heroes released in 2007.I liked the sound and style this whole album had to offer.I feel that it was and still is very creative and alternative,it mixes r'n'b, hip hop and pop all together to create contageously catchy and distinctive sounding songs. I really liked alot of the songs used on this album from the chart ready track: clothes off to my favourite slow sounding track: On My Own Time (Write On!) The whole album was just enjoyable and fun to listen to. It took you through a wide variety of emotions and feelings which for me makes a good album. Definately one of my favourite albums of all times and definately something that I would highly recommend to anyone,you will not be disappointed with this album,it has a quirky and fun high school poppy sound that just makes it even better to listen to from...

...Different Class This was the first Pulp album that commercially made it big. After His ‘N’ Hers became something of a classic amongst many music listeners.

...When Pulp had the string of hits a few years back including Disco 2000, and Common People, it took a while to talk myself into buying the album, Different Class. However, once bought I never looked back, as it is a true gem! The album is slightly short with 12 tracks, and includes obviously the above 2 hits, and also Sorted For E's & Whizz, and Something Changed. But I've found that other unknown songs are actually as good if not better than the singles they released! My favourtie song from the album is Underwear which has excellent lyrics and a superb melody which incorporates lots of emotion. Mis-Shapes is also another songs that I love and the way Jarvis brings the song from a low ebb upto a high and then slopes it back off for the finish is genius. The album overall is one of pure genius, and it's a shame that more wasn... Read review
