Review

You know, 'Urban Hymns' by The Verve is one of those albums that just sticks with you. I remember the first time I heard 'Bitter Sweet Symphony' - I was driving home from work, and I had to pull over just to let the music wash over me. It's funny how a song can do that, right?

The Verve really outdid themselves with this one. Richard Ashcroft's vocals are so raw and honest, it's like he's singing straight from his soul. And the way they blend rock with these sweeping, almost orchestral sounds? It's magic. 'The Drugs Don't Work' hits me every time - it's got this vulnerability that's just so relatable.

But it's not all heavy emotion. 'Lucky Man' has this uplifting vibe that never fails to boost my mood. It's like The Verve bottled up all these intense feelings - good and bad - and poured them into one incredible album. No wonder it topped charts in the UK and beyond. 'Urban Hymns' isn't just a snapshot of the 90s; it's a timeless piece that still feels fresh today. It's the kind of album that grows with you, revealing new layers with each listen. - Jennifer
