Editorial Review: Album Description: Japanese edition of their highly acclaimed 1997 album with the unmarked bonus track 'Lord, I Guess I'll Never Know'. 15tracks total, also featuring the hit 'Bitter Sweet Symphony' and singles 'The Drugs Don't Work' & 'Lucky Man', plus 'Deep Freeze', a hidden bonus track on the U.S. edition. Black & white picture CD with a group shot of the band. A Virgin release. Amazon.com: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - FabulousBittersweet Symphony is the best song ever. I'm using the intro for my wedding march. Rating:  - get Storm in Heaven or the Verve EP,I don't think people normally are compelled to write 3 star reviews, normally they only write when the really are blown away or really dont like something. However as a huge Verve fan, this album, although huge, is much more mainstream and doesn't reflect the sonic beauty reflected on their earlier and unappreciated albums. As other reviews had said, Storm in Heaven (and the Verve EP), is not just the best Verve albums, but one of the best albums period. It is sonic and similar to 'shoegazer' music ... Read More Rating: - Great opening, falters a little at the end"Bitter Sweet Symphony" and "Lucky Man" drew me to this album, and I think it is a good album. However, while the CD starts out really strong, it wanes towards the end. The first 6 or so cuts from the CD are very vocally driven and traditionally "modern rock band sounding," however, the last few tracks are more instrumentally driven, with unique guitar effects, almost with a modern psychedelic vibe. Not really my thing, but if you like a combination of the two, then this CD is definitely for you. ... Read More Rating: - Don't believe the nay-sayers! This cd is amazing!!Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but to those who claim their is only one hit on this cd ..well you need to get your ears checked! This album is quite possibly one of the best ever released during the 90's for this genre. I consider myself quite picky when it comes to purchasing music and this is one of my all time favorites. Ashcroft's voice sounds surreal and hallucinatory as if his voice were one of the instruments. Buy this cd, hit play, close your eyes and prepare for a musical journey ...
