作為英國近廿年最睿智、最具批判性的詞人之一,Jarvis的回歸以其拿手的socialist筆觸,配合熱爆全球的MySpace在網上免費發放"Running the world"(果然貫切socialist本色),還有是Pulp的最後一張大碟We Love Life確是一張昇華之作(商業上不及前三張成功) ,令人對Jarvis的個人大碟有殷切的期待。We Love Life最後一首歌"Sunrise",現在回看充滿Jarvis早晚會回航的先兆,那種由音樂鋪排引發出來的躁動,充滿日出前一刻的不安,由緩轉急,果然是餘音未了的預告!

你好,我也罕有地join了jarvis在myspace裏的mailing list, 一聽到Running the world, 覺得Jarvis起碼還有以前那度"火", 實在可喜可賀.
有朋友或者覺得"We love life"悶了點, 但我同意這是Pulp某程度的升華,這碟一出後就知道Pulp應該會解散了.Jarvis有的是才華, 獨立創作也比較適合他
We love life也給我一隊band要散之前最後一碟的感覺,但好的是大家看到Jarvis由Different Class的十五年一舉成功,到成功後的迷失,然後This is Hardcore以音樂史上「最完美的失敗者聲音」出場,Jarvis的個人反思是一段很有趣的心路歷程。到了We love life又是另一個三年,這段在野外的日子給Jarvis卸下了名利的包袱,出來的效果是大家都打了個突的平實,沿華盡去。Jarvis也說過,意識到成名後Pulp出碟的時間愈來愈疏,難得Jarvis不甘於自我重複,看他的訪問便知他是真正有思想的人,這也是他那道火愈來愈「到」的原因。
