Where this album fits

Career context
We Love Life was Pulp's final studio album, released during a period of declining commercial success following their peak with Different Class in 1995. By 2001, the band's lineup had stabilized, but the music industry landscape was shifting away from Britpop. This album reflects a more introspective and mature sound as the band navigated their legacy.
