Album Review
Though shorn of the more overtly shoegazer-styled elements of their debut A Storm in Heaven, the Verve's sophomore effort A Northern Soul is no less epic in scope, forging a heavier, more traditionally psychedelic sound infused with a chaotic energy which mirrors the emotional upheaval at the heart of Richard Ashcroft's songs. Reportedly produced under the influence of excessive drug use, the album is harrowingly intense, its darkly hypnotic momentum steered by Nick McCabe's spiraling guitar leads and Ashcroft's incantatory vocals; tracks like the remarkable "On Your Own," "So It Goes," and the majestically morose "History" are searing evocations of isolation and desperation, soaring yet heartbreaking anthems of disillusionment and loss.
Customer Reviews
The title says it all!!!
this album has been a standby in my car for years. A Northern Soul...a little cold, darker than most, but oh so right if you live there; intriguing all the same if you only come for visits. The transitions are notably smoothe, and lend nicely to the overall thematic stretch of the art. This album showcases the complimentary styles of McCabe and Ashcroft. by far their best Album! A perfect combo for the edgier and more refined indie ear, not your thin poppy run of the mill scenester drivel. Depth and layered soul with a wildly creative punch.
Why...
am I the only person who loves this album?

this album is the band stretching. they were a very talented ensemble and this piece is just a further extension of their desire to keep growing.
