Urban Hymns

Urban Hymns (1997) more music like this

by The Verve

Not long after the release of A Northern Soul, the Verve imploded due to friction between vocalist Richard Ashcroft and guitarist Nick McCabe. It looked like the band had ended before reaching its full potential, which is part of the reason why their third album, Urban Hymns -- recorded after the pair patched things up in late 1996 -- is so ...

Villains

Villains (1996) more music like this

by The Verve Pipe

The Verve Pipe made their major-label debut under the direction of producer Jerry Harrison with Villains, recasting themselves in the inauspicious mold of a post-grunge act. On an initial listen, the album does little to distinguish itself from the masses, though patient revisiting reveals a band of more depth, with Brian Vander Ark's songwriting ...

A Northern Soul

A Northern Soul (1995) more music like this

by The Verve

Though shorn of the more overtly shoegazer-styled elements of their debut A Storm in Heaven, the Verve's sophomore effort A Northern Soul is no less epic in scope, forging a heavier, more traditionally psychedelic sound infused with a chaotic energy which mirrors the emotional upheaval at the heart of Richard Ashcroft's songs. Reportedly produced ...

No Come Down

No Come Down (1994) more music like this

by The Verve

The Verve had amassed a substantial amount of non-album B-sides from British singles issued in light of their 1993 debut full-length, A Storm in Heaven, which remained largely unheard elsewhere in the world. To coincide with a spot on Lollapalooza 1994's second stage, a nine-track compilation of uncommon material was issued Stateside, entitled No ...

This Is Music: The Singles 92-98

This Is Music: The Singles 92-98 (2004) more music like this

by The Verve

The '90s were filled with pop supernovas -- bands that burned brightly for one or two albums then sputtered to an anticlimactic conclusion. Of these bands, the Verve were one of the largest, perhaps because they imploded not once but twice. The first time, they collapsed following the release of their second album, Northern Soul, in 1995. They ...

Non Stop '90s Rock

Non Stop '90s Rock (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

Non Stop '90s Rock is a very solid 18-song collection that does a good job of weaving together the various strands of American alternative pop/rock into a seamlessly listenable collection. There is a home for everything from the glorious mope blues of Mazzy Star's "Fade into You" to the goofy pop-punk of the Presidents of the United States of ...

A Storm in Heaven

A Storm in Heaven (1993) more music like this

by The Verve

Whereas future Verve masterpieces A Northern Soul and Urban Hymns would feature succinct song structures (for the most part) and instantly memorable verses and choruses, the group's 1993 full-length debut, A Storm in Heaven, was based on buoyant, extended psychedelic passages. Looking back today, it was an interesting and original musical ...

The Verve EP

The Verve EP (1992) more music like this

by The Verve

Prior to their full-length debut, A Storm in Heaven, psychedelic alterna-popsters the Verve issued a self-titled EP. None of these songs appear on any of their other albums (except for a lengthy live version of "Gravity Grave," which can be found on the No Come Down compilation), and they show that the band was capable of greatness in its ...

Underneath

Underneath (2001) more music like this

by The Verve Pipe

The Verve Pipe were hit hard by the sophomore slump, and frankly, their major-label debut didn't treat them all that well, either. As produced by Jerry Harrison, Villains brought the group too firmly within the post-grunge masses, even if it did result in a commercial breakthrough -- but that was with "The Freshman," an old song, one that was a ...

The Verve Pipe

The Verve Pipe (1999) more music like this

by The Verve Pipe

Here's more radio-friendly grunge-tinged power pop from the Verve Pipe. The single "Hero" is infectious, but much of the rest of the first half of the CD is generic and repetitive "alternative" rock. The disc starts getting interesting with the sultry "Kiss Me Idle," then builds to the crescendo of "La La," which as the the title would suggest, ...

Loaded with Hits (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

Benefiting the T.J. Martell Foundation (which helps fund the fights against cancer, AIDS, and leukemia), Loaded With Hits is a two-disc collection of late-'90s pop/rock, ranging from dance-pop to urban R&B (and a bit of hip-hop) to adult/mainstream alternative rock. Present are the original versions of hits by artists like Mariah Carey, Christina ...

Super Hits (2007) more music like this

by The Verve Pipe

The Verve Pipe were one of the handful of post-grunge bands that had a hit in the mid- to late '90s that was ubiquitous, and then had the bottom suddenly fall out from underneath them. That hit, of course, was "The Freshmen," a pained, earnest mid-tempo dissection of a relationship gone wrong that the band's lead singer/songwriter, Brian Vander ...

The Drugs Don't Work [#1] (1997) more music like this

by The Verve

For those of you who thought two versions of "The Drugs Don't Work" were not enough, this single has the album version of the song. This second single also has a James Lavelle remix of "Bittersweet Symphony," which offers something the album version does not: a danceable beat. Stripped of its looped three-chord string arrangement, Richard Ashcroft ...

MTV's 120 Minutes Live (1998) more music like this

by Various Artists

The live performances on MTV's alternative video showcase 120 Minutes have always been a little frustrating, since the quality of the music was widely uneven and the performances tended to interrupt the flow of the show. On that basis, it would seem that the appearence of MTV's 120 Minutes Live is something of a mixed blessing, but that's not the ...

A Testimonial Dinner: The Songs of XTC (1995) more music like this

by Various Artists

Though most tribute albums aren't worth the cost of the packaging, A Testimonial Dinner deserves a listen simply because the artists involved appear to have been selected more for their love of XTC than for their MTV appeal. Spacehog's take on "Senses Working Overtime" captures the perky but warped pop sensibilities perfectly, while Sarah ...

Freshmen [US #1] (1997) more music like this

by The Verve Pipe

A fresh and eclectic new group comes to the forefront of alternative/pop/rock mainstream with the release of their poetic and sincere single "The Freshmen," appearing on their 1997 RCA/ BMG release, Villains. The song is percussive in stature, poetic in lyrical nature, and honest within its storytelling. Through engaging in this tune mostly light ...

The Best of Rockline (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

Hollywood's interactive radio showcase Rockline unleashes its first anthology album, featuring live in-studio versions of alt-rock hits. It's a curious morph of venue, since radio promotion, live performance, and album distribution have traditionally functioned distinctively, not collaboratively, in the record biz. As a cultural artifact, Rockline ...

The Drugs Don't Work [#2] (1997) more music like this

by The Verve

"The Drugs Don't Work" is another ballad along the lines of A Northern Soul's "On Your Own": acoustic rhythm guitar and orchestral strings to add poignancy to Richard Ashcroft's disconsolate lyrics concerning modern life and love. This single has both a radio edit and an original demo version of the song. Sounding similar to the solo live version ...

Lucky Man #2 (1997) more music like this

by The Verve

In the early days the Verve released anti-singles, with A-sides like the oceanic "She's a Superstar" or the psychedelic thrash pop of "Slide Away" and "Blue," but with their later albums they found a formula for (semi-)commercial success -- acoustic guitar, orchestral string arrangement, and world-weary vocals -- and beat it into the ground with ...

Bitter Sweet Symphony #2 (1997) more music like this

by The Verve

Whereas the extended version of "Bittersweet Symphony" adds even more strings and percussion to the already Phil Spector-ish density of the original, the moving "So Sister" supports Richard Ashcroft's plaintive vocals of missing love with only his acoustic guitar and Nick McCabe textures. The second B-side, "Echo Bass," rides along on a bass ...

Pop Smear (1993) more music like this

by The Verve Pipe

With their second album, the addition of A.J. Dunning to the mix gives them a more aggressive guitar sound. At the same time, they show a more adventurous side, exploring a broad definition of pop music from delicate love songs and 3/4 ballads to edgy, bitter rockers, even taking on the occassional Latin rhythm -- each song takes on a different ...
