How very dissapointing it is to see the Verve split up after their finest album to date. The band decided to go their seperate ways just as they had combined to produce one of the best albums of the year and finally had made headways into the musical scene. From the bombastic chart topping "Bitter Sweet Symphony" to the last track "Come On", Richard Ashcroft and his songs take you through a haunting and beautiful album. Lyrics are good, and the album flows very well, glittered with some very special songs, including the rather depressing and much acclaimed "The Drugs Dont Work" as well as "Velvet Morning". This is a great album, worthy in a good collection. Its a shame the Verve never had a chance to see whether they wee talented and capable enough to better it. It would have been a tough ask!
