Verve Pipe

Villains
$6.98
If there is I can understand why I really don't like this. It tries to sound like King's X, and I use the word tries. Most of the material is lame, and I wouldn't want to listen to it all the way through. Only 3 songs were good here. "Drive You Mild", "Penny Is Poison", and "Cattle". The weakest song on here was "Cup Of Tea" I feel that a big improvement would be if "Weird Al" Yankovic would do a parody of that song, and title it "Chicken Of The Sea"(in honor of tuna). The rest of this album I have no use for, and say that I'm in a generous mood tonight giving it 2 stars. I know that about a year after I first heard "Cup Of Tea" I heard of the group The Verve, and their loser of a hit "Bittersweet Symphony". I thought it was the same group only switching gears, and trying to become more pop than alternative. I would like to know if these 2 groups co-exist, or if they're both different. Anyone out there please fill me in.

The Verve Pipe
$13.98
I stumbled across this band by winning the Underneath album from a radio station. Since then I been purchasing their music, and can't get enough. This album is not quite a good as Underneath, but quite worth owning. Although comments listed here state that Villians is a better album, I disagree. The songs on this particular album seems to be more soleful and evoking more emotion than Villian. I am also glad that Brian Vander Ark, who seems to be the heart of this band, has branched out and done some solo albums as well.

Super Hits

I liked their use of different styles for each song. Most new pop bands all sound the same. In one song they'll bring in a keyboard, in another a strong guitar lead and I really like the dominance of the drums. Haven't seen that since my day.

The Freshmen
$1.29
I listened to The Verve in high school. Many of the things I enjoyed back then are now just old and uninteresting. However the I still enjoy this band's work. It is unique without being annoying.
