The Verve Band: The Verve
Title: On Your Own
Rating:
Release Date: 1998-06-30
Media: Audio CD

Tracks: 1: On Your Own 2: I See the Door 3: Little Gem 4: Dance on Your Bones

Two great B-Sides on here

But for a while, B-Sides were the only way to hear stuff the band hadn't released on album and therefore, new music. Thankfully one of the best bands to ever grace the live stage is back at it.
The Verve and Oasis have both been very good throughout their careers at including reasons why you want to buy the singles, whether for good remixes or tunes not available anywhere else, Coldplay also has been good at this too.
On Your Own comes from The Verve's masterpiece - A Northern Soul. I'm not too keen on the last track, but tracks 2 and 3 are well worth picking up this single for if you find a copy lying around your local record store.

Noooooooooooooooooo THANK YOU!
All the potential weaknesses of the band (and/or just Ashcroft?) ache in flaming boldface on the nonalbum tracks. This is the first rotten apple I've found among the earlier Verve singles. As the sad and sloppy reincarnation of half a dozen other Verve songs, Ashcroft goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on . . . by the dreaded 'Dance On Your Bones' either you'll think the disc is smoothly skipping or you're just waiting to hear a gunshot from an enraged member of the audience or studio to make it stop. (Eeeeeeeeep!) And thank goodness they finally *did* stop before things came to so drastically nasty a fate as that. Those who found many of the Ashcroft "mantras" on ALONE WITH EVERYBODY unnervingly repetitive (CMCS: circumlocutory, moaning cow syndrome?) will find this single just agonizing.


This is almost as good as a single can get
I rank this above most of the Oasis singles, which we all know are simply fantastic. This single is simply amazing. I See the Door is a great song that probably should have been an A-Side. Little Gem, is also very good, in keeping with the rest of the album, and Dance on Your Bones is just another amazing song. On the whole, this single just plain rocks. If you like Verve, go out and buy this single.
