Over the past year and a half it seems like every
band that had a major part in the nineties music
scene are reforming to give it one last shot, so
far we have had Take That, The Smashing Pumpkins,
Boyzone and Rage Against The Machine who are all
enjoying major success again with many people who
weren’t old enough to go to the bands shows
the first time around showing a lot of interest
for them and each band have either released a new
album or are working on a new release. There have
also been those bands that reformed just for the
money and the biggest example of that is the Spice
Girls who reformed to play shows across the world
during December 2007 as well as release their greatest
hits 10 years after they first took to the music
scene by storm as soon as the tour dates were over
and their bank balances were looking healthier than
ever the band split up again. The latest band to
reform is The Verve, but The Verve are no strangers
when it comes to break up's as the band have split
up a couple of times in their career, but they have
never quite split up for this length of time before,
yes it’s been 11 years since The Verve last
released a studio album with their last album release
being the majorly successful 'Urban Hymns'. So is
The Verve's come back a welcomed one?
Well they are back with their first single as
a band in 10 years and what a come back it is.
'Love Is Noise' is the brand new Verve single,
the band first showed off the new single at their
festival appearances at the Coachella festival
in America and also the Glastonbury festival in
England where the band finished their set with
'Love Is Noise' and what a classic moment it was
to watch whether you were watching them live at
the festival or live via the TV, the set was epic
and 'Love Is Noise' went down a storm with the
thousands of fans watching.
'Love Is Noise' is an upbeat stadium rock song
that is soon going to have people singing along
word for word from the front to the back of every
venue that The Verve play once they embark on
their tour in support of their new album 'Forth'.
'Love Is Noise' is such a huge sounding song which
makes it easier for you to forgive The Verve for
their 10 years absence from the music scene, the
song features a computerized vocal effect that’s
on loop throughout the whole song giving the song
a really eerie feel and Richard Ashcrofts vocals
are as strong as they ever have been and the lyrics
are clever and very easy to pick up on. The Verve
have surely been missed but have come back stronger
than ever here.
There were a lot of people doubting The Verve
when they announced that they were reforming,
many people claimed that this was a cash in on
Richard Ashcroft's part, something that I don’t
quite understand when he had major success with
his solo material and could still be carrying
on that major success right now if he didn’t
choose to rejoin The Verve. Well to prove the
doubters wrong, The Verve have been hard at work
and will release their fourth studio album 'Forth'
on the 18th August and I’m pretty sure all
the Verve and indie fans have the date written
in their diaries already.
This is Brit rock at its best, welcome back guys.
5/5
