Perhaps you weren't convinced of the Verve's staying power until recently. Before the release of Urban Hymns, skeptics wondered if they could ever match the explosive power of their earlier dedications. In 1995, most critics dismissed their offerings of the time as vapid, romantic excursions. To their credit, the Verve have sustained their shadow rock legitimacy while introducing string arrangements, piano fills, and slide guitar. Nowhere are these stirring traits more obvious than in the epic single "Bitter Sweet Symphony." Laying it on thick throughout the rest of the album with painfully engaging ballads, the Verve have crafted their most accomplished album to date, proving the longevity of their cultural resonance. --Lucas Hilbert

What a shame.......2007-05-19

What a shame that The Verve was just a one hit wonder. This is a great cd, and while all the other songs are slightly over shadowed by Bittersweet Symphony, all of the songs are really good. This band should have had a much longer halflife then they did, but when you make a song as perfect as Bittersweet Symphony, you find it hard to top it. You all know you have downloaded that song (some illegaly), so for this great price, just go ahead and buy the album. Once you listen to the cd you won't be disapointed.

A great album and a correction.......2007-01-29

Firstly, just to correct "Morten Vindberg", Jagger and Richards only received a credit for "Bittersweet Symphony" because of the orchestra bits. The rest is pure Verve.

A very good album, containing such fantastic songs as "Sonnet", "Lucky Man" and my favourite, the closer, "Come On". I love the way this songs builds and builds and almost transports you to that "Mad Richard" place.

I don't think this album is stuck in its time - I think this album will be enjoyed and appreciated for many years to come.

A Brit-Pop Classic.......2007-01-13

I think the Verve's final album "Urban Hymns" from 1997, must be regarded as one of the finest of the early brit-pop movement 1993-97. Lead-singer and main song-writer Richard Ashcroft delivers some outstanding pop-ballads to the album, which sadly became the final. I have not heard their early album in their whole, but it's my impression that this album is significantly different; not as hard-rcoking and more acoustic.

The opener and world-wide hit "Bittersweet Symphony" is a great song built up around a string-loop based on the old Rolling Stones song "The Last Time". Jagger and Richards are also credited as songwriters, which I find very generous of the band, as you have to listen very carefully to notice any similarities to the old Stones song.

The other stand-outs on the album are mostly quiet songs with the acoustic guitar and Ashcroft's vocal in front.

The brilliant "Sonnet" belongs to this cathegory; as does the other hit-single off the album "The Drugs Don't Work" - beautiful and sad. "Lucky Man" is yet another example.

Slightly harder is "Space and Time" which is melodic and which has a great hook and chorus.

"Velvet Morning" and "Good Day" are other solid songs.

The rest of the album I tend to find slightly forgettable. Some songs simply go on for too long, while others just sound like unnecessasy fillers. Considering the long playingtime of the album (app. 70 minutes ), I think the album would have made a much stronger general impression if some of these tracks had been left out. A big shame if people lose interest before reaching "Lucky Man" and "Velvet Morning". Still a great album, though!!

Urban Hymns.......2006-12-17

Urban Hymns~ The Verve starts out with bang. Bittersweet symphony written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards is pure gold and one of the best rock songs ever written. The lyrics to this song is so powerful and what rings true in this track is its eternal truths. Just this track alone gives this album full marks and it is seldom if ever I would give one single track this kind of credit. The rest of the album is just as good and the verve is one talented band indeed. So is there something negative to be said about this album? Well unfortunately yes and it has nothing to do with the music at all. The book-let is a travesty with blurry photos, terrible liner notes, shoddy font and no lyrics. However, do not get me wrong, this is a brilliant album that fully deserves 5 out of 5 stars.

love it.......2006-11-25

I'm not going to go through each song, as a whole it is lush, melancholy, and hopeful. The guitars are effect-heavy (in a good way), the music is jammy and dreamy. The lyrics are poetic. It's a comfortable album. You could curl up and sleep in it.

Diversity is more than just a buzzword for Donnie McClurkin. As shown by his massive success both inside and outside the U.S., the right reverend from Long Island embraces many stylistic approaches (and languages) as he delivers his brand of gospel. It's never more evident than in Psalms, Hymns & Spiritual Songs, a McClurkin double-disc live worship celebration. Opening with Robin Mark's "Days of Elijah" and McClurkin's own "I Will Sing," a praise-and-worship motif sets the stage for later similar tracks like Michael W. Smith's "Agnus Dei" and the medley "Draw Me Close/I Am Thine Oh Lord." Backed by a 40-piece orchestra and a powerhouse choir, McClurkin closes the opening disc strongly in tandem with the legendary Richard Smallwood on the classic "Total Praise." The second disc is dedicated more to traditional gospel with tracks like "I Love To Praise Him" and "Jesus Medley." McClurkin livens up the fare with the "Language" medley, singing in English, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish, ending the string with Joann Rosario as they duet on "Saciame Senor Yo Se Que Estas Aqui." You shouldn't miss the bonus cut here as well with McClurkin and Kirk Franklin teaming up for a slick and pleasing cover of the 70's soul classic "Ooh Ooh Child." The offering is generous on Psalms, Hymns & Spiritual Songs and Pastor McClurkin holds nothing back in this fire-and-ice worship celebration. --Michael Lyttle

A former member of Teddy Riley's R&B supergroup, Blackstreet, Dave Hollister was recruited by the Def Squad after he decided to make a go of a solo career. Joining up with the Squad gives Hollister a certain amount of street cred, but it also has other benefits--such as getting Squad member Erick Sermon to produce three tracks and Redman to produce another (albeit the intro). With his set of pipes, though--high, pleading, and wrought with emotion--Hollister might not have needed the hook-up. He moves a little fast sometimes, as on "Round & Round," where the backing vocalist is "taking off your clothes" and asking to "sex you from head to toe" before the first verse even starts; on "Came in the Door Pimpin'," the implication is that he's not even willing to wait that long. There's also some sweet doo-wop, though it shows up only on a throw-away interlude ("Cheaterlude"). Overall, the songs don't always live up to Hollister's voice, but he's able to raise even the most mediocre material into something serviceable; hopefully, he won't always have to. --Randy Silver

Customer Reviews:

Ghetto Sugar.......2002-08-22

Slow, syrupy and sappy, this is the kind music that gives R&B a bad name. I did kind of like `It's Alright', which is somewhat hymnlike.

Powerful vocals, and raw lyrics express love and heartbreak.......2001-08-17

He is the voice of the Blackstreet hit "Before I Let You Go," but he is also the singer who detailed his "Babymamadrama" in a song.

On his solo debut, Ghetto Hymns, former Blackstreet singer Dave Hollister seems comfort-able singing ballad R&B notes or ghetto hip-hop lyrics.

This album features gospel, pop and rap inspired tracks. Songs such as "I Can't Stay," a powerful ballad, "My Favorite Girl" and a slowed down r&B remake of the Michael McDonald classic "I Keep Forgetting" make this album music to remember.

Deep Down Raw.......2000-11-13

This cd is not for everybody, it is explicit and brutally raw. If that is the mood you are in than this is for you. The lyrics are great to sing and the music feels good down to your toes.

still time for improvement, but overall a pretty good effort.......2000-07-26

overall a good effort, not much that you can say about the man who nobody really knows about. the def squads first and seems to be only rnb talent in the camp comes out strong on his debut.

hollister, a former member of the rnb male quadrant blackstreet, spun solo after there 1994 self-titled effort, to make this album. featuring the smash singles "my favorite girl" & the overally explicit, but fabulous "babymammadramma", show that hollister, plans to stay around for a bit longer.

the rest of the album though really doesnt add up to the success of his singles. "i keep forgetting", "can't stay", & "my favorite girl" (remix) are really good tracks, and i like it.

the rest are just averagae songs, songs that i like, and some that i don't like but overall a really good effort. with just a little bit of improvement, i see this man going far.

TASTE AND SEE!.......2000-06-28

AFTER THE FIRST TIME I HEARD D.H'S ALBUM I WENT OUT THE SAME DAY AND BOUGHT IT. I WAS JUST THAT IMPRESSED. DAVE'S ALBUM FOCUSES ON THE WHOLE RELATIONSHIP SAGA AND ITS SO NICELY DONE. I COMPARE THE ALBUM WITH A NICELY WRITTEN SHORT STORY. THIS ALBUM HAS CHARACTER(S), PLOT, THEME,AND STYLE. SOME OF THE SAME THINGS THAT MAKE A GOOD BOOK GOOD MAKES A AUDIO/NOVEL EVEN BETTER. AND DAVE CAN REALLY SING. GOOD JOB DAVE, YOU GOT A FAN FOR LIFE!

Dave Hollister has surprised the heck out of me with this incredible foray of modern soul and R&B.Ghetto Hymns is incredibly powerful vocally, lyrically, and musically. The whole production is tight, smooth, cool and totally sophisticated. Hollister dishes up food for the soul, and beats for the booty. I'm not going to name them all but faves among the set are "Favorite Girl, Call Me, and Feelin's". Hollister proves himself as a talent with or without Blackstreet. Trust me, this album is special. Do yourself a favor and check it out!

the verve-an unbelieveable band; an unbelieveable album........2003-04-09

This album is absolutely amazing in every way you look at it. You can never get tired of it. I bought this record right when it came out in 1997, and it is still a Cd that I play regularly. Richard Ashcroft's lyrics are pure genius, and Nick McCabe's guitar parts are classic. If you don't have this album then buy it now! I promise you it will be money well spent.

An absolute must for everyone's ears........1999-10-11

I can't believe that this album exists on this site WITHOUT a review! So I'll throw in my two cents and say just this - Urban Hymns is an elegant, richly textured album that everyone should own. I have my copy (Japanese pressing with extra tracks) and wouldn't trade it for anything, except maybe another copy of the same disc.
