May 23, 2025May 23 I'm disappointed as although I thought Spike Island was mundane, Pulp by numbers and it didn't really grow on me, this I actively dislike.
May 24, 2025May 24 I wasn't expecting anything like that from them... it sounds quite different at first but then the more it went on, the more I felt it was related to tracks like F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E
June 5, 2025Jun 5 This is getting decent reviews so I succumbed and bought it, I ordered the exclusive variant that was solely for stores in Sheffield as I thought that was a pretty cool thing for them to do
June 8, 2025Jun 8 I’m a few plays in and I’m really quite enjoying the album. Spike Island was a grower and I like the new single even more within the album.My other favourites are Tina, Grown Ups, My Sex and Background Noise… but there isn’t anything I don’t like. I agree with most of the reviews, in that it’s still very much Pulp but through an older lens and that’s fair enough.
June 9, 2025Jun 9 I pretty much like the ones you do Dandy*, except I’d add Partial Eclipse. Tina is my fave so far, aside from the already marvellous Spike Island.
June 9, 2025Jun 9 I’m really hoping this has sold okay. I’m not sure what to expect, especially as they’d pretty much collapsed in popularity when We Love Life and Hits were released. Is 20-30K too optimistic? I’m hoping the tour and positive press will help them
June 9, 2025Jun 9 I think they can do 20K, quite a bunch of vinyl variants and they've done lots of promo even on tv
June 9, 2025Jun 9 Also, having listened to this a lot now, here is my ranking of the songs:01 Background Noise02 Got To Have Love03 Grown Ups04 Spike Island05 Partial Eclipse06 My Sex07 Tina08 The Hymn of the North09 Farmers Market10 A Sunset11 Slow JamMy only criticism is I think it could do with another upbeat track, so I've slotted in After You to my playlist between Slow Jam and Farmers Market seeing as that doesn't have an album. Feels weird putting a lovely song like Farmers Market as low as 9th!I'd go as far as saying this is in my top 3 albums of theirs, ousting This Is Hardcore
June 10, 2025Jun 10 Good Pitchfork review:https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/pulp-more/and amazing sales so far in the Mids, #1 for certain and maybe closer to 30K!
June 14, 2025Jun 14 Finally had a proper listen to this and it's perfectly all right. Not up there with their best and could do with a bit more energy about it but pleasant enough.I did find my attention waning about midway through but Background Noise saved the day. Agree with dandy* that it's the best track on the album. Feels like it would fit on This is Hardcore in particular.A solid addition to their catalogue
