Where would we be without Jarvis Cocker? It would probably be a similar world, but one that never had the Michael Jackson BRIT Awards incident, Pulp's wonderfully astute take on socially and politically conscious Britpop, or 2019's British Christmas No.1, '(C**ts Are Still) Running The World', a 2006 track propelled to the top via a public bid to show the Conservative Party what at least some of the electorate were thinking. Despite cultural omnipresence, 'Beyond The Pale' is arguably the first proper JC record in over ten years - finally an album that again fully embraces the resolutely UK combination of geek and rebel which have made so much of his work stand the test of time this far. It's melodramatic, psychedelic, electronic pop that simultaneously celebrates one of the truly good aspects of Britain's place in the world today - musical scope and variety - while dishing out a welcome body blow to the country's downfalls, problems and misfortunes. Many of which haven't changed since 'It' landed in 1983.
