Urban Hymns
This 1997 album would be The Verve's (and, arguably, Britpop's) swan songāat least until they reunited the following decade.Ā Urban HymnsĀ remains the band's greatest and most successful release, starting with the sweeping, strings-infused "Bitter Sweet Symphony". Exploring all manner of altered statesāvia drugs, love and lucid dreamingāRichard Ashcroft is at his most introspective. Throughout, the band strikes a delicate balance between soft, solemn ballads (like highlights "Drugs Don't Work" and "Lucky Man") and extended jams of woozy, psychedelic rock.
