   I love Richard Ashcorft's new album Human Conditions! I am always amazed how his music and lyrics only get better and better. Thank God for this brilliant musical masterpiece!! I would recommend this to every person I know! Check the meaning is awesome!… Expand

   Listen up, this is the real deal for a change from Richard. As a longtime Verve fan (having all EP's, CD's and even most on vinyl...), I have to say I was quite surprised by how good this record is. It more on par with what I expect of him and is on par with the last Verve album. While it's no Storm in Heaven (let's be realistic here), it's has moments definately worth checking out, esp if coming from verve-fandom. Standout tracks such as 'Check the Meaning', 'God in the Numbers', and the ethereal 'Running Away' are hard to dismiss as 'crap' if you give them a serious listen. Now if he could only get Nick McCabe involved somehow...… Expand

   Second solo record from the former Verve front man. Not a bad record - it's got some good stuff on it, opening Check the Meaning is a top tune. There are a handful of other decent songs on here. There's also a few slow paced boring numbers that will help any insomniacs out there sleep soundly. Probably his strongest post Verve offering but nothing on here would get close to Urban Hymns. No doubt Ashcroft is a talented song writer but consistency ain't his strong point.… Collapse

   I guess Mr. ex-Mad Man Ashcroft has really big debts to pay, because the only thing that's heard in this overproduced rubbish, is "I need more money, my wife wants a new car"..this album is commercial nonsense .. This record is a shame...the songs take forever to end, the two-voice studio effect wanted to send this cd out like a freezbe..the worst thing thas has come out from ashcroft definitely..dont buy it!!! please richard talk to the shining, they also need help with their vocals...no wonder nick mccabe told you where to go!!!… Expand
