 "'Love is blind' is a perfect electro-pop anthem that the Pet Shop Boys would kill to have written and ABBA would have disbanded after hearing."

 "'My Legendary Girlfriend' is one of the most beautiful songs of the '70s and in Pulp’s repertoire."

Pulp's third album, Separations, marks their breakthrough into mainstream with a blend of dark and cheerful sounds. It embraces electronic and pop styles while reflecting early '90s Madchester and rave influences. Highlights include standout tracks like "Love is Blind," "Countdown," and "My Legendary Girlfriend." The album is praised for its balanced, innovative production and is considered one of Pulp's masterpieces alongside Freaks. Listen to Pulp's Separations to experience a brilliant fusion of dark moods and electronic pop from the dawn of Madchester!

 It's always the same old "new wave" revival story that a thousand other bands around the world are doing.

 The result is a somewhat boring track but one that still makes you tap your foot (even if only for the first minute).

The review covers Made's debut single 'Suburbia,' noting its mix of diverse influences like new wave, techno, shoegaze, and italo disco. While the track is described as somewhat boring and unoriginal, it remains foot-tapping for a brief period. The reviewer questions whether the project is amateurish or genuine but finds potential in the ideas presented. Discover Made's 'Suburbia' and decide if their blend of styles clicks for you!

 With adequate promotional advertising, they could have been the Smiths before the Smiths.

 Definitely a good record and, like every debut, it has interesting insights and many ideas but perhaps not very focused.

Pulp’s first album 'It', released in 1983, delivers an acoustic pop-folk experience that hasn’t aged as well as contemporary works by The Smiths. The album offers interesting ideas and musical experimentation but lacks focus. Standout tracks include 'My Lighthouse' and 'Love Love', showcasing early hints of Jarvis Cocker’s theatricality. A suitable listen for newcomers and fans of nostalgic indie folk-pop. Listen to Pulp’s debut 'It' and discover the roots of their iconic style.

 This album is a sick, slimy, paranoid, anxious journey... one cannot fully understand it unless they listen to it.

 Jarvis embodies a paranoid, phobic, and cadaverous Serge Gainsbourg.

Pulp's 'Freaks' is an atypical and underrated album marked by claustrophobic and anxious themes. The review highlights its dark, gothic rock style and Jarvis Cocker's intense vocals. Each track is explored for its unique atmosphere, from surreal to melancholic. The album is recommended for lovers of dark and post-punk music. A complementary collection, 'Masters Of The Universe', is also suggested. Listen to Pulp's 'Freaks' and experience this haunting, underrated classic today!

 Mark E. Smith is like a kind of Bob Dylan from the afterlife.

 Pieces like 'C’N’C-S Mithering' reveal Smith’s dadaist 'slam poetry' through steady beats and filtered vocals.

Grotesque (After the Gramme) by The Fall is a pivotal album marking their transition from krautrock-inspired sounds to more pop-oriented post-punk. Following their acclaimed Dragnet, this record is experimental and showcases original ideas, though some tracks can feel chaotic or less memorable. The album features innovative noise elements and Mark E. Smith’s distinctive dadaist vocal delivery, making it a classic yet uneven transitional work. Dive into The Fall’s Grotesque and discover a bold fusion of punk, noise, and poetic innovation!
