The Verve - Urban Hymns (CD 1997)

The Verve came onto the scene with some fantastic new music.
The Drugs don't work and Bitter Sweet Symphony are all time classics and it is worth buying this album on the pure strength of these songs. I have never been a big Verve fan, but this album brought back many smiles as I relived my youth.... and don't forget Fat Les and the Vindaloo Team mocking the video for Bitter Sweet Symphony, CLASSIC.

I bought it finally because everyday since release a snippet of this injects itself into the background noise and it is always heard and always attended to. It is inexplicable that this is not regarded as one of the ten best issues of all time. We actually listen to these songs like they were hymns, recognising that they represent something simple, valuable and missing from our day to day lives. People's lives are temporarily interrupted when a big track from this gets within earshot and they slow down and get thoughtful and wistful at the same time as though they were trying to remember something important that we are now totally alienated from. The 'Bitter Sweet Symphony' video is a work of mysterious art, is he charging towards something or desperate to escape something: is the nightmare before or behind him? Or is he just desperate to be heard without interruption? Nobody could listen to 'The Drugs Don't Work' without visualising a tower block. Guitar riffs that recall raindrops on windows that won't open looking out on walls of other windows that won't open. Punk was supposed to actualise this sense of urban deprivation and desperation but Punk never got this close.

This album is the best of the Verve

It has a special meaning to me as i had a relative who died from substance misuse, the words and musical accompaniments reach the soul and give me goosebumps EVERY TIME I listen to this album

This album is very good. One of their best. I would advise anyone viewing it to look at the track listing. If the band is for you, go ahead and buy it.
Most of the songs on the album I had never heard of to be honest, part from "Bitter Sweet Symphony". I sat down and listened to all of them. The music is real good, as so is the vocals. "Drugs Don't Work", "Sonnet" are other good singles on Urban Hymns too. I'm sure you'll find that out.
From that I would give this album a 9/10. Thus because I like the band's music.

Brilliant album and will be remembered as one of if not the past album of the 90's i could never see the verve supressing the succsess of this album and believe it is a one off

this timeless classic of an album highlights the gifted and talented performers at their best.So different yet so conventional

I am really impressed by this band , unlike most cd's of today you can listen to ever song right the way through ,I will be looking for more Verve in the future !

This is the 2nd time I've brought this album....I played the last one to death, hence me having to buy a new non scratched 1!!
My absolute favourite album, so glad to have a decent copy again!!

This is a bit depressing, but urban at its very best, full of wonderful music, brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One word somes this all up and thats "Classic" lost my original CD so bought this one.

Happy times

Having been trying to get hold of this album for a while, and not having much look in the shops, I was not dsappointed! This album is absolutely awesome!
A must have for any Verve Fans!
Sonnet is like the best song ever!

This is a fantastic album by the Verve, every song is amazing so you wont be disappointed with this one!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT BAND What more can i say!!!!!!!

Had this CD when it first came out & wore it out or it got swiped by an ex-girlfriend!.......Anyway dont play this on an effin ipod thingy get some seperates and listen to the quality notes and tunes you get.Still sounds excellent and remains up there with some of my fav's of all time. 10/10

wHAT CAN I SAY! I BOUGHT THIS PURELY FOR LOVE OF THIS BAND, FOR SO LONG I HAD BEEN MEANING TO PICK UP THIS C.D. BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT. OBVIOUSLY WHEN I SAW IT ADVERTISED ON E-BAY I HAD TO HAVE! THERES ALOT OF KNOWN TRACKS ON THIS WHICH MAKES IT AN EVEN BETTER BUY, NEW OR USED.

great album u must buy u wont be disappointed. there songs are some of the best shame there not around anymore

Bought it ages ago, and lent it to somebody who decided not to return it.
Absolute bargain off ebay for £1.49 delivered!!

Depressing lyrics, sad music,limited ability and everyone thinks this garbage is a classic.

I keep this in the top draw of the bedside table with the coldplay CD and when I cannot sleep. pop it in the sony walkman and before the first song is finished I am fast asleep.

Remember this is my opinion, not yours, before purchasing any music, you should at least attempt to listen to the album in question or other material by the artist
