Poptimists Album Science #4

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

This is about Proving By Science how good an album really is. Unfortunately it appears that EVERY album ever's true worth amounts to just 71% as Madonna's 'Like A Prayer' curiously scores the same as 'Thriller' and 'Please'. Enough of this 80s mediocrity! Now, if you please, join me in rating the following tracks from Pulp's 'Different Class' album out of ten:

[Poll #862989]



If you've not heard or can't hear the song you could either not mark it (if you dislike the artist generally) or give it a 5 for balance if you do like the artist generally.

Botherd about this album, tbh. I had it on tape and listened to it about three times. I mean, I ran an indie disco ffs! I didn't NEED to listen to it.

I still like 'Something Changed' an awful lot though. Mostly because it never got played at indie discos.

I think I owned a free copy which came with...something or other once. Listened to it only a few times. It's not objectionable but it's so bloody MEDIOCRE, why on earth I would ever want to listen to it above anything else I can't imagine.

This goes doubly for the singles which seem to get a quite disproportionate amount of love for the solid 7/10 "mehs" which they are.

7/10 is a 'quite good really', not a 'meh'. Clearly you are feeling the Pulp love too.

This is a mediocre album, particularly when stacked up next to This Is Hardcore.

Pulp's only truly GREAT moment was 'Like A Friend', I think I would put 'Disco 2000' into this category were it not for my reluctance to ever hear it again due to its being massively overplayed.

'Common People' is totally meh.
