His 'n' Hers

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Call it the great transitional album, spanning the gap between Pulp's self-consciously arty past and the commercial acceptance of 'Different Class.' 'His 'N' Hers' wasn't quite sure what it wanted to be, but spawned some good songs, most notably "Do You Remember the First Time?" Finally, it seemed, the band was coming into its own, even if the 'own' on this record did appear to be appropriated from '80s Brit band Furniture. Still, there was already no doubt that Jarvis was a star, with his unique style, and that bigger things were on the horizon. A Polaroid of a band on the road to success.

4 out of 5 stars Awesome.......2007-01-13

I love Pulp. I think this is one of their best albums. I have listened to it many times. For the serious music lover.

5 out of 5 stars Stylophones, Clavinettes and Fire Extinguishers, Oh My!.......2005-07-26

This album is one of those very few instances where we're not exaggerating when we say nearly every song is great. Yeah I'll say it, one of the best albums of all time. Any real music fan will easily like most of the songs here. It's the out of the ordinary instruments, lyrics, and vocals that give these songs its edge in making it more than just a collection of quality pop songs into one of the best ever.
Now of course it just happened to be released when pop wasn't cool during the overly grunge saturated early 90's, so it received little attention in the U.S. Nonetheless, a must have for any pop music fan.

5 out of 5 stars The best PULP has to offer............2005-02-22

If you want to listen to the best of Pulp (in my honest opinion) then this would be it. The music is stunning, unlike anything you've ever heard before, and jarvis' voice is so SEXY. The lyrics are outstanding and the music itself evokes good feelings. You will not regret buying this album.. I recommend you all listen to "Lipgloss" "Babies" "Do you remember the first time" and "David's last summer". You will love it!

5 out of 5 stars A Really Great Album.......2004-12-08

Are they still called "albums" if they are Cds? Anyway, "Different Class" gets so much praise (and rightly so) but I believe that His and Hers is equally as great. "Do You Remember the First Time" and "Babies" are classics. My personal favorite is "David's Last Summer" - such a melancholy feel to it. Excuse me while I cut and paste some of the lyrics: (evokes such a longing for days past...)
"And we swam in the moonlight for what seemed like hours,
until we couldn't swim anymore.
And as we came out of the water we sensed a certain movement in the air,
and we both shivered slightly and ran to collect our clothes.
And as we walked home we could hear the leaves curling and turning
brown on the trees,
and the birds deciding where to go for Winter.
And the whole sound,
the whole sound of Summer packing it's bags and preparing to leave town.
Oh but I want you to stay.
Oh please stay for a while.

5 out of 5 stars Seminal Pop/rock. A Pulp masterpiece.......2004-03-07

One brilliant album from the blokes that brought you Different Class. Like their 1995 masterpiece, His 'n Hers draws its influence from culture clashes/social awareness and packed with those gorgeous J.Cocker melodies. The His 'n Hers theme and sound eventually evolved to the not so different 'Different Class'. I've listened to this album front to back and everything is MUSIC. Every song, I've found that there is something clever about it, some lyrical theme or crazy guitar work that catches my ear. My personal favorites are
Joyriders,
Acrylic Afternoons,
She's A Lady,and
Pink Glove. And the keyboard melody near the end of track #11 is a bona vide lullaby. Regarding this LP - I think of Pulp as a very sophisticated and cultured music group, and J.Cocker as an enlightening lyrical figure. One of MY favorite albums; worth those petty bill$.

4 out of 5 stars Stellar re-issue of Pulp's first step into the limelight.......2006-09-04

After 10 years of living on the fringe of the Sheffield music scene, "His `n' Hers" is the first album that put Pulp on the radar. While their earlier releases were patchy as best, "His `n' Hers" was a leap forward in terms of songwriting and solidifying their sound. The new "deluxe" edition pulls together the original album, plus an extra disc of goodies that make this the definitive version of this excellent, but largely forgotten album.

You can easily categorize Pulp's albums by theme. "Different Class" is the party album, full of sex, drugs, and the underdogs prevailing in life. "This is Hardcore" is their seedy, comedown-from-fame album. "His `n' Hers" is their most sexually charged record, with young people experimenting in sex being a prevailing theme throughout the 12 album tracks. Songs like "Acrylic Afternoons," the standout track "Do You Remember the First Time?" and "Pink Glove" all delve into this, while more mature songs like "Babies" and "Happy Endings" explore relationships and longing for something more than a "quick shag" (as the band would have put it.) Lyrically, "His `n' Hers" is not as full of dry wit and cynicism as the albums that came afterward, rather it is more of a storytelling album. While it is an excellent album, there are a few tracks that are forgettable and I often skip over them. "David's Last Summer", "Someone like the Moon," and "Have You Seen Here Lately?" are the weak links on the album, but having said that, they are hardly bad songs.

The new 2 CD re-issue is full of quality extras, which should please the die-hard fans as well as people buying the album for the first time. Many of the b-sides here have been previously released on various imports, but they are all here. Standout tracks include "Deep Fried in Kelvin," "Streetlights," and "Seconds." The demos included are also quite good, as are the three live tracks included. The real treasure, however, is the book, which includes new photos and liner notes written by Jarvis Cocker.

Universal has really outdone themselves with the new re-issue of "His `n' Hers," which will hopefully expose new people to Pulp's earlier work. The band is now defunct, but the re-releasing of their three landmark albums are a reminder of how good a band that they were.
