Their song "The Drugs Don't Work" was found to be the saddest song ever based on a Nokia-funded study of people's physical reactions recorded when the song was played. That said, "Bittersweet Symphony" was quite good, despite the fact that is was a ripoff of the Rolling Stones' song "The Last Time".

The Verve went through two distinct periods. During the first period guitarist Nick McCabe layered together tasteful guitar tracks to create an enveloping wall of sound. This sound was both distinctive and evocative. As is true for any group heavily into drugs, their music dragged at times. For their last album 'Urban Hymns', the Verve suppressed the psychedelia in favor of a more commercially acceptable sound. The result was a solid, engaging album, that unsurprisingly sold much better than their earlier work.
