It's defenitly an odd single, I like it though. It will be interesting to see if they can produce anything good after 11 years?

damn it has been 11 years....why so long to make another album..they beat coldplay on how long they take to make an album haha

The band broke up after Urban Hymns for some reason.

 

It was a pretty dumb time to end, they had just produced a great single in Bittersweet Symphony and were finally being known, and now they have to start all over.

true ...........but like u said they have to have a good reason

You would think that, I think they just burnt themselves out and needed a break from each other, but 11 years is excessive.

I would disagree with you, they still have a modest fan-base from their past 3 albums, so it's not like starting over with a blank sheet of paper. Hence why their comeback shows a lot of them sold out

you`re so right Dave!! :thumbsup:

I didn't mean they would have to start all over, but they disbanded right as they were gaining momentum so it's not going to be as easy 11 years later.

The band seem to be enjoying themselves which is good. Nick McCabe souded really excited about the new album on that NME video. The time apart and the fact they've grown up a lot and have had families etc seems to have changed the dynamic of the band for the better.

looks like NME will be giving a wee verdict in tomorrow's issue.......anyone want me to scan the pages tomorrow?

I don't believe Richard Ashcroft ever wanted out of Music, because during the bands hiatus he still performed, he did Bittersweet Symphony with Coldplay.

i don't love the new single to be honest. but i haven't given up hope

It's a different style of music from their earlier stuff, but it worked for Coldplay, all The Verve needs on this album is just one great song to get their momentum back.

Rich is apparently going to continue to record solo albums too - I don't know if that will be alongside The Verve, or if the band are going to call it a day again once this album has toured etc.

It's possible that he could still do it and maintain the band, I mean Dave Matthews is always going out on these random solo tours with people like Tim Reynolds and DMB is still very much alive.

The Verve new single:Love is noise

thanks for the sharing:)

i don't like it, the only song I like by The Verve is Bittersweet Symphony which is amazing, I hate this new song!

The Verve go 'Forth' with new album

English rock band The Verve, famous for the hit single "Bitter Sweet Symphony" and the ensuing struggle over the rights to the song (eventually awarded to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards because the song sampled a short snippet of a Rolling Stone song), are set to return in August with a new album -- the band's first since 1997's Urban Hymns that featured that bitter sweet single. Billboard reported last week that the new album, titled Forth (Billboard cites it incorrectly as Four) will be released on August 18 in the United Kingdom and a day later in the United States.

 

While the band had not worked together in nine years before reuniting last year to commence work on new music and play a number of festivals, lead singer Richard Ashcroft had enjoyed a semi-successful solo career built on the success that the band had enjoyed in the nineties. He joined Coldplay onstage at Live 8 in 2005 to perform "Bitter Sweet Symphony" to an elated Chris Martin (lead singer of Coldplay) and cheering crowds. The first single from Forth, "Love is Noise", was premiered on British radio June 23 and will be released a couple of weeks before the album. It is currently streaming from the band's News Corp. (NYSE: NWS) MySpace page.

 

In the United Kingdom, The Verve are signed to EMI Group and will release Forth via Parlophone, but in the United States, a unique release scheme will be utilized, somewhat similar to Radiohead's deal in the U.S. for In Rainbows earlier this year. The band has set up a label, On Our Own, and will release the album through a distribution deal with RED Distribution and Megaforce Records. Previously, the band's albums had been released through EMI's Virgin Records imprint in the United States.

Don't forget to download Mover for free from http://www.theverve.tv - it's not on the album so make sure you get it before the end of the week.

Sonnet is a good song!!!

Hmm, I downloaded Mover and I'm not that impressed. Maybe I need to listen to it a few times to 'get it'.

 

And Sonnet is great isn't it! It's amazing live, especially the "Here we gooo aaaagain" bit.
