Not that I'm comparing the two in any other way but...
...that's kinda like judging The Beatles on just Yellow Submarine.
Get a hold of No Commercial Breaks (His first SOLO LP,long before all the Dan Le Sac stuff thats made the charts) and you'll see a different side of Pip. Not saying he's without any kind of pretension.Just that he's got quite a bit more breadth than that which you've experienced of him.

Fair enough
Have only ever heard the Dan Le Sac stuff. Will have to check that album out.
There's always plenty of lines in what I have heard that I've really liked, it's just when taken as a whole, (to me) it makes him sound like he thinks he is self-appointed Jesus. I think Jams hits the nail on the head when he says a big problem is he is "detached" in these songs.
I am also quite a cynical man, so the optimism might be putting me off a bit.
For me, this is how you combine pop and poetry perfectly:
