The Verve: Review
The Verve broke up in 1999 but reunited recently. The product of the repaired relationship is a new album, Fourth.
The band's known for long instrumental passages and their tracks seem unusually long. They are, indeed, very long in this album. Most of the tracks approach the 7-minute mark. Songs to give a change to are: Love is Noise and Valium Skies.
Valium Skies is incredibly well-paced and strong melodically. It's also the shortest song in the album.
All in all, an album worth having.

Yeah, long instrumental bits are a tad much. Coldplay keeps doing them too. Not an Indie thing, I guess.
Been meaning to ask you for a while now: how come so much indie rock comes from Manchester? I mean, I get the whole Beatles thing, but till..... What do you think?
