Hope it doesn't suck!

I hope that it's along the Fools Gold direction rather than squire impressive himself with how good he is

Playing it now on R1.

Mr-White · 12 May 2016 at 20:01

oow the spice girls are reuniting

n111ck · 12 May 2016 at 20:09

Hmmmm only heard a bit but sounds like Ian Brown solo track with better guitars.

G-MAN2004 · 12 May 2016 at 20:28

It's on Spotify now. I'm liking it!

n111ck · 12 May 2016 at 21:05

It's ok but the lyrics are awful.

Robosapien · 15 May 2016 at 16:41

Totally dreadful. The lyrics are sooo bad and cringe. It sounds dated. It will probably be revered as a masterpiece akin to The Beatles in a few years. Hopefully not.

I read that it's their first material since 10 story love song. Sadly I prefer 10 story by some margin. There are a lot of fine tracks on second coming, even if it doesn't hold together as an album.

Skidder · 16 May 2016 at 11:25

I know the reviews have been pretty cruel but I like it. Up beat summer anthem. Not going to change the world but it's had me singing along in the car.

Ayahuasca · 16 May 2016 at 11:31

Still got their original sound to it, heard they've copied from another track though to the point it sounds very similar. I've forgotten the name of said other track now.

PlacidCasual · 16 May 2016 at 13:43

I've only listened to it once but I enjoyed it. It does sound like one of ian Browns solo tracks in some ways, maybe a little simpler than their previous stuff.

Not quite sure why the stone roses are regarded as such a legendary band?

They had one great album years ago, took an age to follow it up with a patchy hit and miss second album before disappearing until they needed cash.

I don't have high hopes for their new material.

But what an album.

It was so fresh and such a departure. For me the Stone Roses are (almost) up there with the Velvet Underground in terms of a band that helped shift expectations and change where music was headed.

They had one great album years ago

You're right, one GREAT album, 99.9% of bands never achieve that. Their career was derailed by legal issues and mismanagement, when they got back 5-6 years later, their time had come and gone. If the debut album hadn't been an instant classic they would have been a musical footnote like thousands of other bands that appeared and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

They're a great band because at their very best, they're up there with the very best.

PlacidCasual · 18 May 2016 at 12:56

Iconic is a word bandied around too often but I think it applies to the Stone Roses and their debut album, I agree with Skidder it was a defining album of a musical movement. The reaction to their reformation supports the assertion because so many other bands who had their moment go unnoticed from our thoughts where the Stones Roses capture it at the mere mention of their name.

This is Unreal I just hope so badly it don't sux the big one.

Also heard earlier they are bringing out a Trainspotting 2 soon. Nowt to do with the Roses I know but it's in the same ball park for me.

Another 90s icon.

God only knows what this decade will be remembered for in terms of music and cinema.

As for the Roses new stuff, meh...I don't care really. Some things are best left where they were, perfect in it's own time.
