The Verve and Oasis. British, disfunctional, overhyped, both best when they just let the damn guitars cut loose. Definitely Maybe had some excellent swirling guitar raveouts, and Urban Hymns does too, sounding like the best of Swervedriver and Kulashaker swirled in psychedelic soup.
The Verve's problem's when they try to get sentimental or important, which they does constantly, with Ashcroft moaning life's solution over waves and waves of strings and strings and strings. Who do we blame for the fact that the hits are some of the worst songs on the album? There's actually a lot to like here, it's just not where you expect to find it 3.5/5
