Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

We Love Life­-produced by Scott Walker--is best thought of as the calm after the storm. Pulp's previous album, 1997's This Is Hardcore was the kind of record often made by intelligent and sensitive people who become famous after a lifetime assuming that being famous was what they wanted. Like Radiohead's The Bends, Elvis Costello's This Year's Model, Nirvana's In Utero or most of the solo albums of Scott Walker, This Is Hardcore was twitchy, disgusted, nauseous and distinctly uneasy listening. In contrast, We Love Life is by far the most musically benign album Pulp have been responsible for, emphasising a fondness for string arrangements and gently building melodies that have only been intermittently discernible before now (see "Something Changed" or "Live Bed Show" from Different Class). New songs such as "Bad Cover Version" and "The Trees" are among the most luxuriant Pulp have recorded; having the peerless balladeer Walker in the studio can't have hurt on this front. There is no blunting of the edge in Jarvis Cocker's voice or words, fortunately, even if he seems less concerned with himself these days than previously: opening track "Weeds" seems a touching and courageous hymn of admiration to asylum seekers. --Andrew Mueller

CD Description

'We Love Life' is the seventh album from Pulp and is the follow up to their 1998 release 'This Is Hardcore'. Produced by Scott Walker and displaying his deft touch with arrangement and orchestration features the single 'Weeds' this album displays a more bucolic dimension to Jarvis Cocker's witty lyrics.

4.0 out of 5 stars Back, stronger, more mature, more skilful., 9 Nov 2001
By A Customer
After their last album, "This Is Hardcore", an often uncomfortable soundtrack to inner crisis and celebrity meltdown, many had written Pulp off and wondered if Jarvis had just lost the ability to write good pop songs.
"We Love Life" deserves to re-establish Pulp as one of the best bands produced in the UK within the last few years. Lyrically, there's the trademark Cocker humour ("The Night That Minnie Timperley Died") and references to places in Sheffield (the epic "Wickerman"), but there's also topical references (asylum seekers in "Weeds") and some gentle romantic sentiments too (especially the gorgeous 60s-style "The Birds In Your Garden" is a more than worthy successor to "Something Changed" on 1995's "Different Class" album).
One thing that really strikes you about this album is just how much the band have developed as musicians, I never realised before what a good guitarist Jarvis is. The production values of 60s icon Scott Walker have obviously encouraged the band to expand their range.
It's a different Pulp, but an improved one. More reflective, more mature and will certainly confound many people's expectations.
It's gorgeous.

5.0 out of 5 stars A more chilled out Pulp - the come down album?, 29 Oct 2001
By A Customer
From the majestic sewlling of the 'Wickerman', all 8 minutes of it, to the dispear of having to wake up to the idea that the night can't go on forever 'Sunrise' this album takes you on a nature trail of what Cocker and his friends have all been up to since the last album.

The sound is much more unrushed affair and would appeal to any avid listener of the easy listening era, due to the fact the on the outside it all seems to be birds and trees, but after careful listening to the lyrics it is obvious to see Pulp havn't lost the fact that maybe love makes the world go round, and so do break ups.

There are some smashing songs on here that even Scott Walker (Producer of the album) would be proud of namely: 'Wickerman', 'Sunrise', 'Birds in Your Garden', and the lovely 'The Trees'.

Do yourself a favour, dim the lights pour yourself a drink and relax with Pulp's nature... splendid.

5.0 out of 5 stars We love, 'we love life', 27 Sep 2003
By A Customer
I don't often write these online reviews for my purchases, but when I saw that pulps latest offering only has an average of 4.5 stars, I couldn't sit back and do nothing. After being a little apprehensive about getting this, as I thought pulp had gone all optimism crazed after the back-lash they recieved from 'this is hardcore', but I was most pleasantly surprised. This is an incredible, moving and heartfelt album. You can tell the band have really found their place and arecontent with life, and the experience is enriched because of this. Stand out tracks for me are 'the wickerman', an epic song of life contained within the boundaries of city life, and the beautiful 'roadkill'. Jarvis' lyrics are as witty as ever, and the tunes are equally good. Just as good as all previous efforts, you'll love life with 'we love life'.
