good stuff
I can't listen to the songs willingly. I don't know what it is about these songs. "I should listen to Forth by The Verve" never pops into my head. The only time I listen to these songs is when they come up on random on my itunes. There are some tracks that I find it hard to enjoy but most of them I absolutely fell in love with the moment I heard them. Like I said, I don't know what it is about these songs. I love them but can't make a conscious effort to listen to them. Oh well, here are some key tracks in no particular order.


1. Sit and Wonder
2. Love is Noise
6. I See Houses
7. Noise Epic
8. Valium Skies
10. Appalachian Springs

Well there you have it. A review that is a year too late to help anyone but oh well.


An explosive return, a masterpiece.
I have been a fan of The Verve ever since i first heard Bitter Sweet Symphony. A Brilliant return. I bought the cd without having heard a single track, i popped it in and i could not believe my ears when i heard the opening to Love is Noise. My jaw literally dropped i had never heard anything quite like that, i kept playing the begin to it over and over again. I got through the entire album and was very very pleased and suprised i didnt think there return would be that amazing. There isn't a bad song on this album, you can listen to it all the way through over and over again. It's both an emotional and powerful listening experience. I absolutely love the keyboard and guitar in this cd. Lead singer Richard Ashcroft has been compared to Chris Martin has being equal in signing voice, creativity, and song writting ability. Any fan of Coldplay and The Killers would love this album. I highly recommend this album. You will not be disappointed.


The Verve
One of them is The Verve. I think there's a handful of bands out there that stand out in 2009. The quality of sound is obvious. The album was put together well. It cannot be compared to previous work. These artists will always have fans who compare and bring back albums from the past. As for the present, bands like U2, Oasis, and The Verve are important and relevant in music and the human experience. .


Soundscapes to come back to.
The Verve were stronger than most not only in their melody, but in the unique soundscapes they produced, creating a space that enveloped you when they came through the speakers. What The Verve gave me about a decade ago were soundscapes, soundscapes that I would drift away in, soundscape only they could produce, culminating in the greatness that was Urban Hymns.

While being cautious about my expectations, once Sit and Wonder came on, I was brought back to the marvelous soundscapes I had escaped in 10 years ago.

I was right, it isn't as fabulous as Urban Hymns, but that was like the best album ever. And even if this is second best, it's still heads and shoulders above what anybody this day and age can even dream of coming up with.

Thanks Verve, for bringing me back to feeling what I did 10 years younger.


The Verve - Forth
The verve seem to have unique, catchy sounds and lyrics that flow well within the ethereal sounds they create. I am aware of some of The Verve's music from the past, but am not familiar enough with their past work from a detailed discography standpoint to compare this album to what came before. I like the tracks Love is Noise, I see Houses, and the slow, dreamy "Valium Skies" the best. For a band whose music I've just now increased a focus upon, I have to say this album will be a mainstay in my collection. Overall, Forth is a very enjoyable album that warrants a listen.
