How do you a review a record for a band whose previous work you admired so much over the years that when you look at their catalog, you are really looking back at the events in your own life, proof of how music can get grafted onto us and lodged within us so deeply that the music becomes synonymous with who we are.
Case in point with Verve’s fourth record, Forth. To say that this release was anticipated by the music world is to stretch the very notion of patience. Ever... MORE

It's been a long time coming. Unfortunately the only thing epic about The Verve's Forth is the artwork. I don't want to be a Debbie downer but I've been listening to the new album and frankly, you need to keep your expectations way, WAY down. I thought 'Sit and Wonder' was passable and 'Love is Noise' was not my cup of tea but also passible. It doesn't help that it reminds me of this: Unfortunately these 2 tracks are the album's highlights. There seems to be a... MORE

Brit-pop act the Verve will release their first album in eleven years this August. The band disbanded after making 1997's Urban Hymans, best known for the big sound of "Bittersweet Symphony" and frontman Richard Ashcroft recorded three solo albums. The Verve's new album Forth hits the U.S. on August 18th and everywhere else the day before. Tha album's first single "Love Is Noise" is currently streaming on the band's MySpace Page. Upon hearing the first two notes of ... MORE

I have to admit, I wasn't a fan of "Love is Noise" when I first heard it. Forth is an incredible album but the first single wasn't doing it for me. And now "Love is Noise" is growing on me or as Richard Ashcroft eloquently sung it best, "I was blind - couldn’t see what was here in me."
I've had "Love is Noise" in my head all day long after discovering this mega Freelance Hellraiser remix.
Which one do you prefer the album version or the remix?
As you ponder, check out the... MORE

You can read my review of The Verve's Forth here at Treblezine.com http://treblezine.com/reviews/2866-The_Verve_Forth.htmlThe Verve Forth Megaforce 2008 At 2005's Live 8, after describing "Bittersweet Symphony" as the "best song ever written," Chris Martin introduced the man, the myth and the legend they call Mad Richard as "The best singer in the world." That singer was Richard Ashcroft.
Ever since the release of that song and the album Urban Hymns, The Verve's c... MORE

Check this one out. It's off the brand new album from The Verve, Forth. I think the album is pretty great. I've been digging it.

"Love is these blues that I'm singing again."
Richard Ashcroft is the Almighty. Why he'd make us wait over 10 years after Urban Hymns for the next album is beyond me. It certainly puts meaning to the adage "good things come to those who wait," I suppose. We're talking about the Verve here, so there's not much need for my usual verbosity. The aptly, but perhaps uncreatively, titled album Forth hits shelves internationally today. Those of us unlucky enou... MORE

It's eleven years since Urban Hymns, and perhaps even more so the single "Bittersweet Symphony" which set the UK alternative rock world on fire. Breaking up shortly after the release of the album, The Verve went their separate ways - Richard Ashcroft released a string of pretty uninteresting solo records, with The Verve's drummer Peter Salisbury playing on them. Simon Tong went on to various projects including The Good, The Bad and The Queen with ...

Love is Noise
(6)
I love this song. From my choice of album of the year, Forth, is one of my favorite singles of 2008, Love is Noise. This is the one that The Verve have been waiting their whole career to create, a stadium anthem that rocks yr soul.
Love is Noise is a song that celebrates faith, hope, love and the imperfections that lie within all of us. Truth never sounded this good.

Coming on like a Led Zeppelin influenced rock school stipulation (with Portishead's Third) on naming this year's albums after their sequential number, the cleverly titled Forth suggests, as the word signifies, that the music on The Verve's fourth album moves the sound of the band forward, with some momentum, from the their last, the over [...]

Someone just sent me an e-mail with a link to an NPR site, http://www.npr.org/blogs/monitormix/2008/08/juvenilia.html, that asks the eternal questions…"whether one’s relationship to music keeps one in a delayed or perennial state of adolescence?" And, "So, does music keep us young? And is that a good thing?" Music has always been a source of happiness and at time has been the only friend in my lonely outcast teenage years of angst. As the years have passed I feel that I... MORE
