Feral Hymns - Lungfish

Advantages: every track playable
Disadvantages: no enough tracks

...urban hymns was without doubt one of the best albums of the nineties.every track was differant,from the awsome energy of "come on"to the downbeat and mellow "the drugs dont work"i have almost worn out this c.d. it sounds just as good today as it did when i first heard it.in my eyes it is a masterpeice,never to be bettered.i dont know many people who dont like it.the album takes you through almost every mood you feel. definetly worth a place in your c.d. collection.although not playing any more,this album will continue to sell for years....

Advantages: outstanding
Disadvantages: shame they have split

...It always takes me a little time to adjust to a new music taste or Band , The Verve were a classic example of this.

Advantages: Sonnet
Disadvantages: a bit too long

...Urban Hymns By The Verve was released in 1997 on HUT records and got media acclaim right along the board. It is probably one of the best albums of the 90’s with a very indie sound. Songs like ‘Bitter Sweet Symphony’ and ‘The Drugs Don’t Work’ have become classics in there own write. Apart form those tracks there are also other great songs such as ‘Catching The Butterfly’ and my favourite song on the album ‘Sonnet’ this song contains classic Verve and lyrical genius. This is Richard Ashcroft’s masterpiece and what ever he does as a solo artist he will never beat this.... Read review
