It will be interesting to see if we get any reviews based on a year or two's listening. I'm not that patient, but I hope somebody will be as it's that kind of album. All kinds of expectations ran ahead of it, and many of the reviews so far are really reactions based on that.
Verve, for me, were always the Verve of the first album: Blue, Butterfly etc: the spaced-out freak-out thing. That makes Forth doubly welcome as far as I'm concerned, a return to what Verve are all about.
I don't recall particular tracks drastically 'standing out' on "A Storm in Heaven" any more than they do on this album. I remember a magazine reviewer in 1993 sprinkling the faintest of praise on "A Storm in Heaven", ending limply: 'Nice one lads!' I wonder if he sees it the same way now.
Forget whatever your expectations were, get into it and write that retrospective review in a couple of years' time. Odds on you'll say the whole album's outstanding.

I was never a Verve fan as such, but I have had Urban Hymns since its release and it's is one of my favourites. Forth is good but by no means great. It starts off well, the first few songs are excellent, particularly Rather Be and Love is Noise, but then it loses its way until the brilliant Valium Skies. So I give it four stars, were it not for the rather poor middle, I'd have happily given five stars. This is only my opinion, this one looks like one of those CD's that is 'like marmite', if you know what I mean.

I liked the big anthems from the Verve's earlier days but that was about it. My interest reignited when I saw Richard Ashcroft perform so well at Live 8, purchasing his solo album.
I was almost put off this CD because I didn't like the single Love is Noise, but when it was on sale for less than a fiver I couldn't resist. It is quite pleasing on first listen, but like all good things it grows on you more and more. Can't wait for their next disc!

Starts off well with the opening track but gradually fades in quality over the tracklist. One for the die hard fans.
Buy the compilation album or urban hymns instead.

at the top of a league of their own!
Turning their back on pop anthems pretty much, a deeper and more cryptic collection of tracks, Ashcroft returns to his bandmates after a reflective few years away. Read more

Fantastic
"Forth" brings The Verve back with a bang, bringing in new fans whilst retaining old. "Love is Noise", the first single, is the kind of driving anthem that will stick in your head... Read more

Forth is excelent
As good as the Bitter Sweet album. A bit wandering in places, but suggest improvisation.

Takes some time to get it. but you can!
First time I heard it I thought, "Richard Ashcroft solo, with a few psychedelic touches". Tenth time I heard it, the subtleties started to appear. Read more

A very pleasing album
I don't know why so many people are panning this album. Must be the destructive urge to reference every artist's most recent music to the past. Dangerous and futile. Read more
