Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Fifteen years after forming Arabacus Pulp as a schoolboy, Jarvis Cocker finally scored his first hit single with "Babies"--a sexually-charged tale of teenage voyeurism which saw Jarvis on Top Of The Pops with "I hate Wet Wet Wet" written on his jacket. At the time, the Scottish superstars dismissed such behaviour as desperate attention-grabbing from indie no-hopers. Britain, though, had already decided it could do with a pop star who could wring poetry from the grubbier little enclaves of small-town life. And in low rent synth-dramas, such as "Acrylic Afternoons", "Pink Glove", and the bilious "Joyriders", Jarvis began to deliver in earnest, coming on like the missing link between Serge Gainsbourg and The Human League. His'N'Hers didn't finish off the job, of course--it would take a more dynamic producer and a class-avenging anthem called "Common People" to make him a national treasure. Wet Wet Wet's career though, never quite recovered. --Peter Paphides


CD Description

Pulp's breakthrough album arrived after an unbelievably long haul, and then Jarvis Cocker was suddenly sharing front pages of music magazines with Liam and Damon. Here, the songs explored now-familiar Pulp territory, social class, seedy sexual encounters, voyeurism ('Babies'), bad sex ('you bought a toy that can reach the places he never goes'), good sex, and lots more sex, all blessed with Cocker's humorous, touching and, conversely, often innocent lyrical observations. Capable of writing almost unbearably tender love songs and laments for wasted lives ('your hair is a mess and your eyes arejust holes in your face'), Cocker's honesty and insight were distilled to perfection in the wonderful 'Do You Remember The First Time'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Whew!, 15 Mar 2003
By Chris "babyblue999" (Clydebank, Scotland) - See all my reviews
An album full of dizzying emotional intensity as Jarvis gasps and groans his heart out to a succession of screwed up characters. The result is an immensely enjoyable listen - and they make it sound easy.

The album opens up a storm with Joyriders, a portrayal of a certain type of youth which instantly leaps out as authentic to anyone who wasn't born with a silver spoon in his/her mouth. Lipgloss is engaging but the touching Have You Seen Her Lately? and She's A Lady prove more ultimately satisfying on repeated listenings. Lust asserts itself as the major theme, yet it is usually coupled with hang-wringing emotionalism (the simultaneous innocence and perversity of Babies and the hunger and urgency of Do You Remember the First Time? and Pink Glove being highlights) - apart from the thwarted longings of Joyriders' thugs!

If I could change anything, it would be the running order. I'd prefer to finish with a flashier number rather than the low-key Someone Like the Moon and David's Last Summer, but that's what the programming function on the CD player's for.

In spite of some of their headline-hitting scenes, Pulp are musically unpretentious. Almost all of the songs have some element of a poppy hook to keep you screaming along with the ever wonderful lyrics. The balance struck between the cheery and the bleak contributes to making His 'n' Hers an unfailingly convincing collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pulp's finest album, 2 May 2008
By Maclennane (Horsham, Sussex) - See all my reviews
  
Somehow more raw, more angry, more honest than Different Class; I found it harder to get into at first, but after a few listens, there simply isn't a weak song on there, and there are angst-ridden haunting tracks aplenty. It has something of an eighties feel, but Pulp were never quite at home with the shoutiness of Liam or the inanity of Country House, just as they didn't know what to do when they got properly famous.

If you've got into Pulp through Disco 2000 or Es and Whizz, this wil be a revelation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music to do just about anything by, 27 Dec 2007
By J. R. Turner "Jenny" (Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this when it first came out. I was in Virgin and a song was playing in the background (Lipgloss). I bought the album without listening to anymore and have never regretted it.

Jarvis Cocker's voice is distinctive and edgy. The songs are contemporary with subjects such as anorexia and joyriding being tackled in a non-confrontational yet non-glorifying way.

Every song on this album makes me sing along to it and I bought my next Pulp album - 'A Different Class' - because I loved 'His 'n' Hers' so much. For those of you who don't have this album yet but have heard 'A Different Class', you can expect a less commercial pop flavour from 'His 'n' Hers' and this is what gives it the edge for me. I just love 'His 'n' Hers' and never tire of hearing it.
