We therefore ask you to give it an extra special listen, a deep, complete listen as befits the title track of the next Pulp album. It is strange, wonderful and vast in scope. It will scare you because it is so good, yet you will wonder what your listeners will think of this new dimension in pop music. You must take the moral high ground "This Is Hardcore" and do not falter. Believe. It is as good as you feared. - S.P."
