Urban Hymns专辑介绍
看来The Verve在到达顶峰之前就要走向灭亡，也许这就是1996年末尾他们在两人的关系有所好转的情况下录制的第三张专辑“Urban Hymns”这么值得关注的原因之一。唱片里的大部分歌曲都是Ashcroft有意地尝试一些吉他solo或者说一个新的音乐组合，然而，在宏大广阔的音响背景中，“Urban Hymns”明白无误地告诉了人们他们还是一个完整的乐队。不管是如致幻药引起的幻觉般的“Catching the Butterfly”还是充满重击声的“Come on”，虽然没有彻底去除，the Verve还是缓和了他们恍惚的迷幻的漂流，使人听起来要更加强硬。宏伟的“Bitter Sweet Symphony”，淡抹着乡村特色且令人心碎的“The Drugs Don't Work”是让人惊诧的一对歌曲，两首圣歌般的把个人普遍化并因此听起来像instant classics的歌谣。他们只是冰山的顶峰——“Sonnet”是一首可爱的，带着让人惊讶的朴素的歌谣，“The Rolling People”有着整齐的电子力量，并且其他歌都有着名副其实的质量。尽管在一些方面的尝试走得太远，“Urban Hymns”也是一张丰富的专辑，它使摇滚传统获得了新生。这是一张the Verve从成立之初就开始追求的专辑，结果证明我们的等待确实值得。
