Different Class for me as well, I know it's a bit ~cliche~ but I love a greater number of songs on this album than His 'n Hers, but His 'n Hers is a close second! :3

Definitely His 'n Hers. So many great songs on there - Lipgloss, Razmatazz, Do You Remember the First Time, Happy Endings, ETC. I find the later two Pulp albums a bit mixed.

His 'n' Hers...almost definitely. I can never listen to it enough. I just adore the bending of the line between creepy and sexy on top of being depressingly relevant to everything...god, I just love that album.

I think I saw this album advertised in some british mag I may have picked up, and I spotted this cool looking album cover of the band painted in Acrylic. They looked cool, sounded great, and were actually FUN to listen to! And so what if they weren't on my local alternative station. While all my peers were in shock of Cobain's suicide, I had already had moved on from grunge. I was mainly listening to gobs of techno & house, but when I finally discovered His N Hers, it was like the door to britpop had been kicked open with the first chord! Joyriders ooozed attitude, fun, and then just when you thought you knew where the song was going, it curved into a eery spooky more somber tune. "Mr, we just want your car, cuz we're taking a girl to the reservoir, all the people say it's a tragedy, but don't you want to want to come and see?". Jarvis doesn't really elaborate what happened to the poor girl, so if they're having something naughty about to happen, or perhaps something more grim, is up to the listener to decide! Lipgloss has a great catchy hook, with Candida's crying farfisa harmony going down while Russel or Jarvis noodle the guitar notes up. My favorite was David's Last Summer. Epic!!!
When they released the deluxe editions, I got a chance to hear all the missing b-sides I never got around to looking for. You're Not Blind, The Boss, & Streetlights make the album better as a double, but some of the other b-sides, might have fit better in the older Pulp's catalogue. But perhaps these were something Pulp had to shed to be the britpop kings they were going to soon become.
Of course I love the other Pulp discs, (Even Freaks!), but this one is always the one I want to hear more often or not.
