Are you sure about defining it as "Britpop" ?

Seems pretty reasonable to me, but that's not my speciality, so who knows... Do you have a better suggestion? Tuf-Kat 04:34, Apr 8, 2004 (UTC)

I dont have a better suggestion at the minute. It just seemed to me that the Verve never bought into the whole Britpop - Oasis, Blur etc - scence. Leave it as it is, for now. batch

this was the album where the verve went popy, and it is usaully associated with the movement, so i'd call it brit pop

It is not britpop. It's space rock.

• I think urban hymns was one of the defining albums of the Britpop movement, I would place it up there with what’s the story morning glory.

[edit] Merging from the album track articles

I don't think it's a good idea to create articles on the songs that were never released as singles, because they don't appear to be notable outside of the album and this main album article is only three paragraphs long. We're really limiting how comprehensive this article can be by spinning off short articles that will have little to no chance for future expansion. Also, they are written in a non-NPOV style that resembles a fan review; for example on Come On (song) we read "a cool bass riff... no hint of the onslaught of sound about to come up. Following this, all hell breaks loose... a far more nastier feel... very much drug-related and as if the band are sliding into hell such is the power of the music". Thoughts?

How is this not neutral? "a cool bass riff... (cool as in spacey, space rock) no hint of the onslaught of sound about to come up (this is nowhere near fan-based, its the truth!). Following this, all hell breaks loose (also true)... a far more nastier feel (again true)... very much drug-related and as if the band are sliding into hell such is the power of the music (okay the last section can be changed however the drug conotations are so obvious in the song that its true as well)". Im not going to hide that I am a huge fan of the band and the album, however I regard these points as neutral. If I didnt, I would not have written them in the first place.

Just becasue a song was not released as a single doesn't mean it cant have it's own arcticle. (Gsmuk 14:46, 9 August 2006 (UTC))
