  An album for all music fans October 9, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I wasn't sure whether i would like this album as i bought it without even hearing a single song off it, the cover did it for me, i don't know why but it's just a beautiful image and i imagined that any music contained within would be just as good. The music fits that image well. Out of the whole album there is only one song i'm not too keen on but it's certainly not a bad song, the rest i loved on the first listen through and that's a very rare thing for me. I really don't understand people giving this bad reviews, you will not regret buying this.
  Don't listen to the haters October 6, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
As a Verve fan I've listened to the album over & over again on my work PC & in my Car and I rate it highly! Stand out songs for me are 'Numbness', 'Noise Epic' & my personal favourite 'Columbo'. Great Album.....Buy it!
  surprised October 4, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Being from an older generation I was not a Verve fan but aware of some of their music. I came in sideways via Music is the Power (single) being played on the radio. I thought I might buy it, my daughter said I wouldn't like Ashcroft as too miserable for me. Still, bought single enjoyed, bought album 'Keys' boy was she right. Got a copy of Urban Hymns enjoyed most, Human Conditions enjoyed every other. Bought Forth and have enjoyed it all. Find myself singing bits, 'Houses' 'Skies' I went into a pub and they were playing it, it sounded good. I gather so called 'real' Verve fans and 'Official' reviewers have been less than enthusiastic but as a music fan it is great! Buy and enjoy
  below par September 25, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Forth is a disappointing album. It could be the forth Richard Ashcroft solo album too as a lot of the tracks sound like his solo work. They have lost their identity because of this and there's only 3 tracks that stand out for me. These being, Judas, Valium Skies and Columbo. Love is Noise is exactly that, noise, Sit and Wonder is the same too. The other tracks are uninspiring and dull. Overall it feels like it was an effort to come back and make another album they didn't want to have to make.
  So dissappointed September 24, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Having been a Verve fan for years I was really looking forward to the release of this album. I have listened to it in the car (while commuting) every day for the past 2 weeks and I want to love it.....but I can't. I agree with the other reviewer who says it starts off well, but then it is pretty poor. I am so dissappointed with this album, it is not a patch on the other albums.
