And yeah, I never really listened to them much, but did buy that one album. The liner notes had thumbnails of all their other albums, and thus my assumption that you can be popular in your native England without anyone knowing who you are over here.

And I thought most of what was on Urban Hymns was good. I think that it's just that the wretched music biz doesn't know how to sell spacerock in the US, just shitty nu-metal and rap.

I never knew about the controversy but it's no wonder the Verve faded into obscurity after losing the profits from their one semi-hit. Wow, that’s cool.
