Urban Hymns is the last "The Verve" album (they have split before but this time is almost certainty *it*). Richard Ashcroft's vocal talents are fully shown off by this album.

Although The Verve are likely to be remembered for "Bitter Sweet Symphony" (Rolling Stones sample)and "The Drugs Don't Work" (simply to Embrace) and "Lucky Man" there are far more gems waiting to be discovered on the album.

The rocking "Come On", and soul food "One Day" "This Time" and "Velvet Morning".

This album is a classic and is a worthy addition to your collection. (That is, if bands like embrace, oasis, ocean colour scene, new radicals are your cup of tea!)
