The Verve - "Urban Hymns"
It's *amazing*, I don't know why I haven't listened to it so closely before. I knew it was good, and I've got a few of their other albums, but this is so well produced, well written, really inventive - Nick McCabe is a genius, and I don't know who their drummer is, but he'd really good too. Most of all there are some great songs - not pop or rock - songs, like we used to get before everything sounded the same.
Oddly though, I don't like Bittersweet Symphony, which was their biggest track. The rest I could listen to for hours.

I'd personally listen to Ozrics over The Music or The Verve

Wow, two people on the forums who've actually heard of them.
That's new. :)
Waterfall Cities is my favourite album.

For once, I'm with Hedfix - The Music are absolutely immense.
The Verve are class too, though. Listen to some of the older stuff - History and that. They're brilliant, too. THough I doubt anything can beat Bittersweet Symphony.

Ah yes, Become The Other is my second favourite, The 7th/8th track has guitars with effects like The Police had on 'walking on the moon', it's damn good.
Urban Hymns is fantastic. You've got to love The Drugs Don't Work...
How odd.
I came back from the Freshers Fayre thing with an urge to listen to The Verve, then, during this listening session, I stumbled across this post.
Coincidence? I think not.
