Customer Reviews Wiff Granted the song "The Freshman" is a timeless classic, but the rest of the album is far from it's greatness. Wow, I haven't been this disappointed in an album in a long time. The album lacks melody and is infested with poor song writing. If you like "The Freshman" buy the single, stay clear of "Villains". Hard to believe this is 10 years old , great stuff I really thought there wasn't a bad song on this one. Thought this was a great effort by The Verve Pipe. Unlike most, I didn't really like "The Freshman" that much, maybe because I heard it ten thousand times that year. However, it was a decent song and there are some definite great ones on this album. My favorites are "Cup of Tea" and the last song "Veneer. " Great alternative album definitely. It's too bad these guys didn't take off more. And, to the reviewer who gave one star, why did you rate 3 songs 4 stars or higher on the album if you gave it such a low rating? . One of my favorite all-time albums. I originally purchased the album for "The Freshmen," but I think it's now the least-listened to song (thanks to the overplaying of it on the radio). This album came out while I was in middle school, and I'm not sure I listened to much else back then. My music collection has added several thousand songs since then, but I still find I listen to this album more than just about anything else. The transition they make from gentle gentle lyricism to surging melodies and back again has given me a true appreciation of versatility at a time when there's so much that sounds the same. The Verve Pipe has a truly original sound that just can't be duplicated. . You can see a complete list of all The Verve Pipe discography, or go back to the The Verve Pipe tabs
