Yeah- I didn't buy it in the end- cash reasons. I posted that message halfway through as well- then there was a very angry punky song that I didn't like so much and didn't sound very 'The Verve'.

I think he had so much to write about emotionally before- which is why A Northern Soul is one of the best albums ever, but he's a bit more settled these days, so the writing doesn't have the edge and connection that it used to.I think soundwise it touches on most of their previous material.

There's some nice sounding stuff there, but nothing amazing. I'll still get it though.
