Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

A lot of pop stars find it difficult to grow old gracefully, but not so Jarvis Cocker. His solo debut, Jarvis, find the former Pulp lyricist and frontman picking up more or where he left off with his former band, and the result is an album that befits a man in his thirties. In fairness, Cocker was always and astute and mature songwriter, with a keen gift for observation, so the transition to "serious" artist was never in any doubt. But still, it's a huge relief that Jarvis is so very, very good. He sings of love and loss, with perspective, knowledge, experience and, best of all, consummate ability. So "Don't Let Him Waste Your Time" is a pointed anti-marriage anthem, while "Fat Children" is a gloves-off attack on yob culture. Cocker is a great writer, and possesses the ability to make the listener laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time (check out the hidden track at the end for the finest example of this fact). Best of all, the quality of the lyrics is often matched by the strength of the tunes: "Black Magic" samples "Crimson & Clover" to fine effect, and "Heavy Weather" is downright anthemic. This is a superb album, one that should still be listened to for generations to come. --Ted Kord

4.0 out of 5 stars This is Pulp, 16 Nov 2006
By Mr. Gavin Rayment (birmingham, west midlands United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This album takes you right back to classic 'This Is Hardcore' Pulp. Think 'Dishes' and 'TV Movie', from that album and you are about where we are here.

I think it will please most Pulp fans who liked that album.

I'm not sure why 'Running The World' is on after 30 minutes of silence at the end, a bit of a pain really especially as it is a stand out track.

Apart from that 'Heavy Weather', 'Don't Let Him Waste Your Time','Baby's Coming Back To Me' all stand out to me but this is a no filler album and I could have named others. Just don't expect big synths, those days ended in Pulp years ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars A man at ease with himself again, 2 Dec 2006
By R. E. Savine (London, U.K) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A terrific album - the little melodic hooks coupled to those lyrics. The only artist who can make me laugh and cry, sometimes in the same verse, while making a deft political and social commentary on Britain in 2006. More power to your elbow Jarvis.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent comeback!!, 22 Nov 2006
I loove this album!! It gets into one's ears from the very first time you listen to it and the songs will not want to leave you. While it's still distinctively Jarvis, with his observant and cynical lyrics, I was amazed by the variety of the songs - no two sound in the least alike.

I was very worried this cd might be a great disappointment but it's fast turning into my favourite album of 2006. Buy it now!
