I've never really known why it wasn't more popular, but then I came to Pulp with This Is Hardcore having really disliked their earlier stuff (bar Sorted for Es & Whizz). Both albums have a very different vibe to early-Pulp, or mid-Pulp where I imagine they picked up most of their fan base, so maybe it just wasn't what people were looking (or hoping) for. Thanks for the comment Chris.

It was the first album of Pulp I've listened to and I love the fab contributions of Richard Hawley in it. Granting that it was their weakest in terms of concept and vocals , it had, however, the best arrangements among the three mainstream albums of Pulp (Roadkill, Trees and Sunrise in particular). I've been reading past reviews of this one just lately, and I can't believe how much this was hated then. Who cares if it was snubbed in the deluxe treatment, it's perfect already.
