Only longer song I never really liked was Miner's Strike which seemed to be done begrudingly.   

 ...yeah, same here, though "in '87 socialism gave raise to socialising/so put your hands up in the air once more: the north is rising" is a nice wee lyric. 

I wonder if the overt politicising is something that sits a little uneasily with the rest of their work? I know some will disagree, but I found "Cocaine Socialism" a little trying on this part -- and whilst I loved "Running the World" when Jarv released it as a single, a little part of me freaked at the prospect of a whole album of "Cocaine Socialism"s and "Miner's Strike"s. Luckily it didn't work out that way. 

For me, "Glory Days" redeemed the latter half of Hardcore.

Interesting view...just finished reading Uncommon and the author is of the complete opposite opinion to you.

 It certainly seemed quite naive and awkward. Does that Hatherly book take the 'Pulp are working class' fallacy to heart?
