Its true,
Although Appalachian Springs does have some womans voice speaking in it which shouldnt be there, its only for 3 seconds though so it isnt really a spoiler.
The album trully is excellent . Im in love with Valium Skies & Appalachian Springs .
10/10... not biased for being a verve fan, it really is that good |

Valium Skies is awesome... still gotta hear Appalachian Springs...
Anyone else reminded of A Man Called Sun while hearing the first minutes of Columbo?  |

Yes, A Man Called Sun - Pt II 
Valium Skies is already a favourite.
Appalachian Springs is delightful and a favourite.
Judas and Noise Epic are favourites.
Numbness sounds like Pink Floyd (I like Pink Flloyd so this one is a favourite).
Rather Be and Sit And Wonder, although heard before live are amazing and even better than the live versions. Definately favourites.
Columbo is great and I'm sure will be a favourite after a few more listens.
I See Houses and Love Is Noise are great, but don't quite make the favourite list.
The album gets 10/10 unquestionably from me.
(not that I'm biased either of course).

OK, i listened.
Sit and Wonder: its a bit better than i expected, it has a mantra-like vibe and it totally rocks!
Love Is Noise: we all heard this one. got nothing to say except the album version is 10 times better than the radio edit.
Rather Be: love it. its definitely a single candidate.
Judas: GREAT!!
Numbness: EXCELLENT, PARADISE-LIKE!!! it definitely has some Floyd in there....
I See Houses: has some Richard's solo work in it....
Noise Epic: the rockiest of all. superlative beat. 8 minutes of..... epic.... noise.
Valium Skies: the most easy-listening song of all. after 8 minutes of noise they had to lower the volume with this one. its already a classic. hope they play it in future concerts (lets hope there will be lots of future concerts). "she got all i need".
Columbo: i see the connection everyone noted. but half-way through the song everything changes. its one of the best Verve songs ever.
Appalachian Springs: well, my username couldn't be bad! perfect closer. great vocals & ambient guitars. the screams are colossal! with a good edit, this could be a hit-single.
i think the album combines all richard/verve styles. those who felt they couldn't make songs like those in Storm in Heaven were wrong, and those who felt they couldn't rock any more, too.
The bad thing of this versions: some tracks have between 10-30 seconds less than the real songs, for example I See Houses, and some songs couldn't finish properly (don't know why it is such a bad album cut)
last: in my songs, on the "comments" section it reads: 'Richard Ashcroft buttfucks EMI?'
Richard leaked the album to piss off label? maybe....will never know. |

Appalachian Springs is just too beautiful.
i just love the last 1-2 minutes. where it gets really quiet and pieceful, but with grand air.
it's the soundtrack to the cover picture.
and so ...well... FORTH!
makes me shed a tiny little tear of emotion.
best end of an album EVER. |

Thanks, but I think I'm gonna wait for the physical release. I mean, the biggest and most important event of the year deserves it  |

i think it's a very good album, and definitely a grower. gets better every time you listen, always some new facets revealed.
it's "forth" in the sense of being something new, but it's still very much the verve we know - it's the verve of "the new decade".
honestly - as much as i love the previous albums, especially the early stuff - wouldn't it be sad if forth was just a copy of that? 15 years and no "progress"? some people in their later thirties still clinging to the sound they made in their early twenties?
no need to rely on past glory! FORTH is great, and it is NOW.
btw, listening closely, i think it's very much the drummer's album.

That's what I like about The Verve - they're not afraid to do something different and not content with churning out more of the same (even if the "same" is great!!!).
Sobbo's sounding great on the album, he does seem to go unappreciated sometimes, but it's definately an album where all four come into their own imo.  |

the four (members) are great on fourth album Forth!
the Oasis' blog i mentioned earlier has uploaded a new version of the album for those who want it. its a better quality one, and hasn't got any cut mistakes (such as the previous had on I See Houses and the women talking in Appalachian Springs).
9/10 of the tracks are 192 kbps (normal) while I See Houses is 160. but the important thing is that the song cuts are much much better than the other. though i dont think Rather Be is as it will be on the album (it finishes abruptly).
hope you enjoy the record. |
