Negative Positive
Title: One listen
Review: There are few albums which elicit the response in me that Northern Soul does. I find it impossible to put this CD into the player without listening all the way through. The emotional range, both lyrically and musically, is difficult to match with other bands- in a time when America was embracing grunge and Britain was enthralled with the up and coming Oasis, The Verve put out what to me is one of the best albums of the '90s.Somehow Verve manages to intermingle pain and joy, exploring all of what it is to be alive and to feel. The high point, in my mind, of the Verve's discography. The closest anything has come since has been Spiritualized's "Live at Royal Albert Hall" and The Doves "Lost Souls".If you were buying one BritPop album, I would recommend this one.
