The Verve - A Northern Soul

Artist:

Verve (The)

See Also:

London Suede (The) Smashing Pumpkins

Description:

The Verve includes: Richard Ashcroft (vocals).
Although a fine album in its own right, the popularuty of A Northern Soul probably owes much to the huge success of Urban Hymns in 1997/8. A collection of swirling, grand epics and expansive landscapes, it is more sprawling, and, many fans would argue, more inspired than its tighter, commercial successor. Richard Ashcroft`s lyrics are undoubtedly less oblique than on the group`s debut, A Storm In Heaven. The album`s highlight is `History`, with its fluid guitar and crafted strings. A worthy, if rambling, record, it is significant both musically and as an indication of the group`s imminent dissolution, prior to their triumphant return two years later.
