Forth(more) »rank: 1145by: The Verve
Our review: :Something happens when the Verve are together that none of them experience when they are apart. Individually, the Verve are all highly-accomplished players. Singer Richard Ashcroft has been called the greatest singer in the world by no less a peer than Coldplay s Chris Martin. Liverpool-born Simon Jones s dub-informed bass takes the Verve s music far beyond rock and into space and dub; Peter Salisbury plays drums more like a jazz great than a conventional rock drummer and when the tag guitarist of his generation is thrown about it often lands at the feet of the hugely adventurous, psychedelic, ...

A Northern Soul(more) »rank: 15891by: The Verve
Our review: :Though The Verve has finally taken its rightful place in the Brit Rock cannon, it languished for years behind such English luminaries as Oasis and Radiohead. During that time, The Verve release several albums that got less attention than they deserved. Mark A Northern Soul as one of them. The 1995 release was perhaps the first album on which the band reeled in its trademark guitar epics and fashioned bona fide pop songs. 'On Your Own' is one of the lushest and loveliest tracks never to find a minute of commercial airplay in the U.S. or abroad. No self-respecting fan of ... Detail |

No Come Down(more) »rank: 45124by: The Verve
Our review: :This U.K. quartet specializes in oceanic, wall-of-sound guitar pop that frequently takes off on long, trippy adventures. You will hear nods to acoustic Led Zeppelin and beat-crazed Stone Roses on this neatly packaged, 49-minute companion volume to A Storm In Heaven, but The Verve excel at a stoned, shimmering intensity all its own. --Jeff Bateman Detail |
