Product Description
CD Description
Though its tracks were collected from a series of singles, MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE holds together remarkably well as analbum. Opening with "Little Girl (With Blue Eyes)", Pulp announces its intent right off--with such lyrics as "There's ahole in your heart and one between your legs, You've never had to worry which one he's going to fill". This is a disturbed collection of songs that dwells lyrically on personal power struggles amid a decaying society. Musically, the emphasis is on slow, menacing swells of sound punctuated by the squalls of angry guitars and violins.
Russell Senior's vocal turn on "The Will to Power" has the kind of intensity thatmakes one fear for his sanity. While primary vocalist Jarvis Cocker's voice rarely hits quite the same level of uncomfortable derangement, his lyrics are another matter. He spews bile and anger at the real and imagined treacheries committed against his characters. Candida Doyle's keyboards frequently form the centre of the songs, whether as the primary instrument ("97 Lovers") or as a mood-setter, as in the supremely nasty "Aborigine". This record is designed for late, late nights when nothing but true depravity will help to alleviate the worst of moods.
