Originally released in 1988, Pulp's This Is Hardcore, was once the artistic pinnacle of '90s Brit-pop, and the genre's comedown record, marking the end of an era with its ruminations on growing old (Jarvis Cocker wrote and recorded the album at the age of 33, which may also explain the album's Jesus fixation), fearful and bitter. Drawing influence from Bowie and Roxy Music, rather than the Stones and Beatles, Cocker crafted one of the darkest yet anthem-filled albums of all time. An absolute masterpiece and Pulp's true swan song, reissued on double 180-gram vinyl in a beautiful gatefold package.
