Urban Hymns (Remastered 2016)
“The Verve’s blockbuster third album—newly reissued in a five-disc expanded edition—has come to be seen as the swan song for Britpop’s cultural hegemony. But in 1997, it felt like a step forward.”
This Is Music: The Singles 92-98
“Career-spanning compilation that moves from post-shoegaze neo-pscyhedelica to Britpop-era heroics.”

“All farewells should be sudden” declared the sleeve of The Verve’s 1995 single ‘History’, as the band chose to announce their first split in clear and uncompromising terms. Turned out their “Hellos” were similarly brief – the reunion that bore ‘Urban Hymns’ two years later lasting barely 12 months. To announce their second regeneration, The Verve gave just a few hours’ notice the week after Glasto”

“The second Verve reunion album, released 11 years after the last one, finds them still trying to be the biggest band in the world-- and still failing.”
