It's not bad, but not great
Rating:
It's ok, but if you just like "freshmen" you will be better off buying the single.

The Verve Pipe - More Than Just The Freshmen
Rating:
The Verve Pipe were a local favorite here in my home town of Kalamazoo Michigan for quite a few years. They released several independent albums and constantly played the Southwest Michigan / Chicago club circuit. Then in the mid 90's the band signed to major label RCA releasing "Villains" in 1996. The album shot straight to the top of the charts riding the coattails of the singles "Photograph" and "The Freshmen, a song that the band had already released on a previous album and had been a local hit. After this version was released it became the band's signature song. The album was produced by Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads fame and features really well done songs that would probably be categorized as alternative rock. The band would hit their peak commercially with this release and then quickly fade back into the shadows after two more albums. They still get together to play the occasional local show now and then, but I don't think that they are still a full time band. Overall this album is a collection of just plain well written rock songs, delivered with emotion and verve. I always enjoy pulling this album out on occasion.
