Bloody downright marvellous." - GOOD TIMES "All In The Mind" is cool enough, oozing Star Quality and Attitude and Rock 'n' Roll and Sex and Drugs, but check out the other two tracks here, which draw on - but don't copy (and this critical) - the finer points of classic late sixties rock, together with the epic soundscapes of 'Joshua Tree' period U2, only without all the pomp and circumstance. On paper it sounds appalling, but in reality it's far more swoonworthy than any other British record in the last six months." - IMPACT "Verve's powerful debut sounds like a mix of Echo and the Bunnymen at their finest, touches of The Stones, Byrds and even Sonic Youth thrown in for good measure. Verve will transcend any part hype may play in their inevitable rise to success." - OUTLOOK

Swirling, delicate things of beauty, both 'Superstar' and 'Wanna Know, Wanna Be, Wanna Feel' last for ten sensitive minutes, by which time you're either snoring, snogging or happily guzzling your Stolichnaya-and-sleeping-pill suicide cocktail." - SELECT "A nine minute workout which changes tempo and tone time and time again, from breathy vocals to some leaky feedback, is a brave choice for a single and a worthy one." - HALIFAX EVENING COURIER "If you like your music sweet and neatly wrapped, avoid this. But if the prospect of a dark slow guitar driven voyage to hell and back grabs you, then sell your soul for this." - THE THIRD DEGREE

'Gravity Grave' is another perilous flirtation with dissolution and the closer they get, the more beautiful they become. There must be some way out of here…." - MELODY MAKER "An atmospheric, soporific record. Indistinguishable lyrics blend in nicely with the haunting instruments. A pleasant song, but it drags on somewhat." - GRIP "More blissed out daydreaming from Verve. Their third single confirms they deserve the praise they're receiving. They have the talent of getting away with indulgent guitar meanderings." - BUZ

'Twilight is an unbearably wistful trip, which even the addition of an accordion cannot diminish, and 'Where The Geese Go' is an absolute stormer." - MELODY MAKER "Hugely satisfying rrock drop-out guitar effort which chuggalugs along in an easy manner." - TIME OUT "Their desire to be the Stone Roses resurfaces with this, ahem, baggy indie-dance thing that's tweeked by ex-Roses producer, John Leckie. Other tracks dredge up that early morning stoned feeling, but so does a long night out and a good joint." - WHAT'S ON

The acoustic versions of 'Make It 'Til Monday' and 'Virtual World' which appear on the flip are cool, too. Imagine if 'Led Zeppelin II' had been written in a Louisiana tin shack instead of in a Welsh cottage." - MELODY MAKER "If it didn't sound so much like The House of Love it'd be brilliant. As it is, the best thing you can say about it is that it's pressed onto pink vinyl." - GRIP

Except The Verve replace The Stooges' delicious nihilism with a searching, yearning guitar rush. Good to have you back, space cadets." - MELODY MAKER "It's taken an awfully long time for them to return from America's hideous heartlands, though the pleasure of this single and the imminent album will make it seem mere moments. Beautiful, powerful and ludicrously necessary." - SPARK "The Verve obviously reckon that hotel-trashing bonding with Oasis is an easy ticket to the top. They have, in the words of their frontman, 'mad' Richard, been 'on the shelf too long'. Sadly for them, I rarely reach for the shelf marked 'aimless nodding' in my cupboard." - RASP

The other tracks are even more disappointing: 'I See The Door' is a messy acoustic song; 'Little Gem' an unfocussed mess; 'Dance On Your Bones' over seven minutes of rambling stoned indulgence." - NME "….compelling although maybe too laid back and cool to become a rel crossover hit." - MUSIC WEEK "Stonesy acoustic bliss that sounds so authentic you can smell the skunk in the air. Brilliant." - RAW

To be honest, The Verve were the most overrated thing since Christianity. Both are based on men with long straggly hair and both will never come back." - STRATHCLYDE TELEGRAPH "History is a startling finale, all dashed hopes and kaleidoscopes. And as the summer fades into memory, truly a song to begin the end of the year with." - NME History: released on two CD's

So they split up, reformed and now release a magnificent, glowing star of a single. If it doesn't happen this time, there is something very wrong with the world." - WHAT'S ON "The Verve fall back to earth with a slice of epic orchestral pop that makes all attempts from this day on to create 'rock classics' utterly redundant." - TIME OUT "It sounds like the break has done The Verve the world of good, in fact, an amazing transformation." - MOJO Bitter Sweet Symphony: released on two CD's

Brilliant…" - MUSIC WEEK "It seems that very few bands ever release THAT song from the album that stands out head and shoulders above the rest - The Verve have proved to be an exception to the rule. With an unsettling vocal pattern that is unnervingly catchy, Ashcroft is making sure that the world know, The Verve are no fluke." - EXETER TDB "The Verve's latest single is the CD single to snap up this month - that's if you haven't already bought the album. These guys are on the up, and this shows just why Urban Hymns has nabbed the Number One album spot from Oasis." - THE TIMES "The 'I'm a lucky man' chorus has an almost casually epic feel about it, even though singer Richard Ashcroft can't help but sound sarcastic when he sings it. Convincing, if not conclusive proof that The Verve deserve the title of singles band of the year." - HULL DAILY MAIL "Lucky Man is five minutes of some of the most honest, heartfelt music around. There's not many people who really do it so well. Sure, there's plenty of strings and 'me against the world' lyrics but that's what they are all about: grandiose gestures and a chorus to die for. True soul music." - MELODY MAKER Lucky Man: released on two CD's

Single: Label: HUT RECORDINGS. Format: UK Cat#: HUTTX100: 12" Single released 02/03/98
At the start of 1998, Hut asked The Verve to put out another single from the album, an idea which the band disagreed with. Unusually, Hut pressed them on this matter, and so the band finally agreed to release "Sonnet", but only in a format that would make it ineligible for chart recognition. Consequently, "Sonnet" was released as part of a set of four 12-inch records on 2 March (backed by 'Stamped', 'So Sister', and 'Echo Bass'). The release was limited to just 5,000 copies, despite the huge radio coverage it received, and the official Top 40 charts refused to recognize it as a single because of the extra content, as planned. The pack was released in a cardboard mailer, and the preceding three singles from the album, all re-released on the same day, fitted into the mailer. - Crazed highs + horrible lows by Martin Clarke A limited, 12" only release for
Sonnet. Included is a brown cardboard wallet which will also store the
accompanying 12" releases of Bitter Sweet Symphony, The Drugs Don't Work and
Lucky Man. All were limited to 7000 copies.
