The Verve confirm album title and release date

This time traveling gubbins aint all its cracked up to be...

I think that they are both classics in their own right. I think that the fact verve could write songs as well as strung out epics is one the reasons they were great.

I can't stand the 'university fresher' view of "i much prefer their earlier, less commercial efforts".

just having a sneaky wank under the table?

...but I remember late one night finding myself in a state of deep and solemn contemplation all woozy with wine. Things of recent hadn't exactly been going my way, when all of a sudden History came on the radio. I wasn't all too familiar with the song at the time, but the opening strings just grabbed me and wouldn't let go for the following five minutes. Basically, like nothing else could at that moment, that song spoke to me and moved me to tears. I was made painfully aware of the redemptive life-affirming qualities of music.

...yeah, essentially, it's a song that carries enough gravitas to REALLY move some people. Evidently you're not one of those people, but that's cool, isn't it? Music speaks differently to everybody.

But actually, just having watched the Gravity Grave video, I would agree with you on that, it's a better video, to another great song.
