What A Difference - Eldissa

Advantages: Good songs, catchy music
Disadvantages: Very dated now, can show your age.

...and singing) The album contains 12 tracks 1) Manic Monday. 2) In a different light 3) Walking down your street 4) Walk like an Egyptian 5) Standing in the hallway 6) Return post 7) If she knew what she wants 8) Let it go 9) September Gurls 10) Angels don’t fall in love 11) Following 12) Not like you I am not going to go into the details of every track, as I do not see the point. If you own tbe album then you will have your own favourites and if you don’t then you can count the ones I miss out as “fillers” padding out the singles they did release. “Manic Monday” still comes to mind some Monday mornings when I cant prize myself out of bed to get to work and would give my right leg for another 15 mins in the warmth before I have to get up. It opens, “6 o’clock already I was just in the middle of a dream, I was kissing... Read review

Advantages: Jarvis Cocker = legend, lyrically incredible, catchy songs.
Disadvantages: None really.

...to make the leap and actually buy a Pulp CD. Different Class was priced at £2.99, for heaven's sake. (And, the good news, it still is! Quick, buy, now! Well okay, you can read the rest of my review first.) I put the CD into my stereo, still reeling from the bargainosity of the album, and applying that 'well-even-if-i-don't-like-it-it-will-still-look-good-in-my-cd-rack-and-make-my-musical-taste-seem-more-impressive-to-visitors' theory to my purchase.

Not the best track on show, but uniquely lovely. 11) 'Suffer little children' Incredibly morbid and melancholy track about the Moors murders, namechecking Myra Hindley, it is unsettling...
