Of the top-tier Britpop-era heavyweights, Oasis catch the most flak for delusions of grandeur, but all they ever really wanted was for people to sing along in adoration: It's hard to imagine Noel Gallagher writing a song for any reason other than single-minded devotion to 1) hugeness, or 2) the chorus. Ashcroft wants you to sing along, too, sure-- but he also wants to heal, soothe, and illuminate. What else could the parting skies and emergent God rays on Forth's cover mean but that He hath returned? a b Trust, Gary (23 January 2009). "Ask Billboard: Mariah Carey, Abba, Oasis, The Verve".

They soon reformed to make their ultimate statement, 1997’s Urban Hymns, an album generally recognised to be one of the brilliantly realised discs of the era. Out of adversity came strange fruit. Urban Hymns would sell over 10 million copies and won Best British Album at the 1998 Brits, was short-listed for the Mercury Prize and still ranks super high on all-time best-of polls. A majestic, mercurial and mature work this five-star disc is completely recommended.

January 2009: 81. {{ cite journal}}: Cite journal requires |journal= ( help) The Verve already had a breakup and reformation under its belt 11 years ago when the breakthrough album Urban Hymns was released. Critically lauded, as well as popularly acclaimed on the strength of singles “Bittersweet Symphony” and “The Drugs Don’t Work”, Urban Hymns, and the pressures of the touring that followed it, unfortunately led to a second, and seemingly final, disbandment.

And so it goes on. In Valium Skies, he wonders mournfully: "How do you stop yourself from giving in? Seems like the whole world is frying." Goodness, he's worried about global warming! No, wait, everything is OK, because as Ashcroft assures us, in his best approximation of a New York drawl, "She got all I need, the air I breathe." Then there's his penetrating analysis of celebrity. "Fame," he announces, "is living in a culture of flashlight, flashlight." You can just see Ashcroft's friends Chris Martin and Noel Gallagher nodding in agreement.

Keys To The World (2006) features a more contemplative sound than anything else Ashcroft has done to date. Folkier, with sheer soul overtones, the songs here are considered and affecting. ‘Music is Power’ samples Curtis Mayfield (one of Richard’s heroes) and there is an R&B old school template to ‘Break the Night’ with ‘Colour, Why Not Nothing’ and ‘Sweet Brother Malcolm’ that remind the listener that Ashcroft isn’t afraid to shine a light on his spiritual side.The Rolling People (Media notes).
