Yeah, The Manic's 'Holy Bible' did a similar thing. You'd have thought it would have wiped em' out, but it just upped the miserablist aspect of their fan base.
Ditto 'Dep Mode's 'Some Great Reward'

Pete Murphy/Mick Karn's 'Dalis Car' album had a similar effect on me, wasn't expecting THAT sound, but I was strangely drawn to it.

David Sylvian's 'Brilliant Trees' must have been a strange comeback for most of Japan's pop fans as well. As well as those instrumental/environmental collaborations with Holger Czukay et al.

Funny you mention Pulp's 'This is Hardcore', I was pondering that too. Weirdly, still one of my fav' Pulp albums to date.

I remember being distinctly unimpressed with John Foxx's follow up to 'Metamatic', 'The Garden'. Where were all the cool synths and hard edges? Warmed to it since, but at the time I was well pissed.

Second Horror's album was total fan dumpage. Where were all the cool garage riffage, they'd turned into bloody shoegazers!

Ditto Yeah Yeah Yeahs second (and third) long players too.
