One lyric about being on a radio interview alone took me out of the experience a little, as it was just too specific to be relatable. Still, such a beautiful, sad and lonely album. Loved See the Sky, Motion Pictures and Ambulance Blues. You're all just pissing in the wind you don't know it, but you are and there ain't nothing like a friend who can tell you you're just pissin' in the wind

Urban Hymns

The Verve

+Great production quality +BIttersweet Symphony is still a great song +Some cool decorations of strings and stuff in the mix -Vocalist not especially emotive or expressive, despite trying to be -Sounds like Oasis -British -Padded song lengths and filler to reach max CD capacity. Emblematic of era. -Booooooooorrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnng 2/5

Instrumentals are good/interesting enough to be their own project, but in the context of the album, they kill the energy. Some amazing cuts on this one, though.

Cool experimentation, definitely ahead of its time. It's an interesting piece of history, but as a listening experience, I wanted more progress in the songs themselves. Most of them build very little off the central idea/pulse that is introduced at the beginning.

I know this is one of those bands where's you lose any credibility if you have anything but glowing praise for them, but this sounds like Megadeth if they did this kind of music. And Megadeth blows.

Makes me feel bad about giving that blur album 1 star. This is so much worse. Why does the singer always sound like he's trying to shit out a brick? Last song was kind of ok, I guess.
