The Verve Comeback
Submitted by Erik Gonzalez on June 26, 2007.Maybe Richard Achcroft found solo life unsatisfying.
NME reports that The Verve will make a comeback, both touring and recording new material. So far the shows are only in the UK, but they say a new Verve album will come out next year, so who knows about a US tour ...

Liz?????? I can't BELIEVE you're a Verve hater! "The Drugs Don't Work" is one of the best songs of the 90's-00's.

I have to admit, I liked the Verve at first, being a fan of "Slide Away", then didn't like the Verve, then hated the Verve, then suddenly decided I like them again and fell in love with Urban Hymns (about 2 years after everyone else did).
As long as this isn't a Verve Pipe reunion (speaking of ridiculous names ... what the heck is a Verve Pipe anyway?), its all good.

I was in the Verve Pipe's hometown last month. I almost hunted them down and asked when the best of album was coming out. I've got to get you something special for Christmas, Erik.

I am totally down with the Verve. I had no idea Liz was a Verve hater. We might have to have an intervention.

I'm with igLiz. 'Comeback' seems the wrong word here. Yawn.

Jeez Betsy, first you dis R. Kels, then the Verve. Aren't you too cool for school.

Let's all just take a moment and think back to the hit single "Freshman" by the Verve Pipe.
Ahhhhhhhh....

I'm all for it, although I doubt they'll tour in the US (they never really hit it big over here). Also, it's kind of a bummer that Simon Tong isn't involved. They were/are a great band though, so it'll be interesting to see what they come up with.

A great... a comeback of blandness. A Bittersweet Symphony called boring.
