This is Hardcoreis the sixth and final album from long running Brit-poppersPulpand the ‘difficult’ follow up to their worldwide smashDifferent Class. Although it had none of the hits of the former, it was a dark and complex work and the sort of artistic statement that showed that the band weren’t just Brit-pop stadium puppets. I’d hope in these more enlightened days the artwork would be less degrading to women but them were different days. I’m sure everyone has moved on and learned.
