interesting. i love The Verve, but with the exception of the song "Music is Power", i've never liked Ashcroft's solo stuff. this song is pretty good though. i'll check it out.

 

[BVS]

Huge fan of Ashcrofts, even like quite a bit of his solo stuff, but this is pretty underwhelming...

^Really? I love this song... better than anything he released solo by miles, imo. And better than a lot of Verve songs to me also.

I like this, but I'm sad for the 3rd demise of the Verve.

i would have felt worse about it if "Forth" wasn't so disappointing.

Really? I loved Forth, other than the obvious Urban Hymns its my favorite thing Richard Ashcroft has done. The fact that he's got another band in the pipe makes the other members excuse he was using the reunion to re-ignite his solo career look kind of out-of-place.

I really like Are You Ready, but it doesn't come close to any Verve stuff, IMO.
