This Is Music
The story of The Verve has always been a tumultuous one. In the late '90s while the likes of Oasis, Blur, Manic Street Preachers and Pulp were all enjoying their greatest successes, they technically didn't even exist. And when they finally achieved that level of worldwide success with "Bittersweet Symphony", effectively a coda for the Britpop era, they didn't end up seeing a penny of the royalties from the song and the band disintegrated again on the North American tour in support of Urban Hymns. If ever there was a band that had unfinished business to attend to, that needed and deserved a victory lap, it was The Verve.
