专辑介绍：
The late '90s produced a spate of faceless if hit-making pop-rock bands with names like Matchbox 20, Third Eye Blind, Dishwalla--and Michigan's Verve Pipe. The quintet's 1996 RCA debut hit with its title track, 'Villains,' as well as 'The Freshman,' pushing the LP past platinum. While their self-titled sophomore album boasts songs not nearly as memorable as its predecessor, the Verve Pipe still deliver an impressive-sounding LP with songs both elaborate and unadorned. On 'Supergig,' singer Brian Vander Ark infuses the tune's jangly yet driving psychedelia with Richard Butler-like vocal inflections, while the more straightforward and peppy 'Hero' finds a happy medium among dense, melodramatic pop-rock tunes and several sweet if nondescript ballads. With a few exceptions (the edgy and devil-may-care 'The F Word' and 'Hero') the dozen tracks populating The Verve Pipe are forgettable if adroit efforts. --Katherine Turman
