Title: The kind of CD Pulp should have made
Product review: This CD is everything I expected but didn't get in Pulp's "This Is Hardcore." It's scary how similar these bands are, but sadly Pulp couldn't maintain the high level of "Different Class." Rialto sounds like several bands rolled into one, which is good and bad: good if you're like I am and can't get too much Britpop, bad if you get sick of derivative music. So who do these guys sound like other than Pulp? I detect traces of the Dandys, Blur (from their Parklife days when they were still a real British band & not boring American alternative copycats), the Verve, Fool's Garden, Octopus, and Oasis. Where does this CD rank in my opinion vis-a-vis other Britpop CDs? Not as good as the Dandys "Symphonic Screams," Pulp "Different Class," or Oasis "What's the Story..." Better than the Verve "Urban Hymns" and Oasis "Be Here Now" (which isn't hard to do).
