What does everyone think of it? For me, it's kept up the incredible consistency of their last few albums, and again, I'm finding it hard to separate them. There's nothing that hits you right in the face like Grounds For Divorce, but they have kept that habit of songs slowly crawling under your skin, and Guy Garvey's lyrics are as great as ever. Can't wait to see them live - a great live act by the way, they deserve to headline Glastonbury (they are being tipped). For me, I think they are with the Arctic Monkeys as Britain's best band.

I've been really digging it thus far. I think tracks like "This Blue World" and "Fly Boy Blue/Lunette" are fantastic.

Wouldn't say they're up there with Arctic's for best British band, but it's easy to forget just how good they are.

Really like the new album, quite consistent throughout and a big improvement on Build A Rocket Boys, which had 4/5 really good songs but the rest was quite dull. The title track and New York Morning are both brilliant, the latter in particular.

On the Glastonbury thing, looks like they'll be subbing Arcade Fire rather than headlining.

Shoutbox

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5

Bonehead's Barber: spooky! Oct 17, 2024 8:13:01 GMT -5

ginwaiting: Hey I was lucky to get tickets for Heaton Park on the 19th July, my mate also got tickets so we have all decided to go on another night so I would like to sell my tickets for the 19th. Please drop me a message if you interested. Thanks Nov 6, 2024 7:17:10 GMT -5
