Listening to Turns Into Stone again and finding myself hitting repeat on 'Where Angels Play'... it's amazing to think that this song originally wasn't meant to come out - it's brilliant, possibly my favourite ever song of theirs. Particularly love the drumming throughout this track (that shuffle on the hi-hat!) and the outro, wish I always wish would go on for longer.

Fools Gold is absolutely classic, can't nobody deny that.

I bought the album cuz of Fools Gold and was taken aback by all the chimey birds/Beatles stuff.. Fell in love with repeated listens. Curtain call for 80s dreamy guitar pop

Pay attention to the basswork on "Where Angels Play" too. Mani is such an underrated bass player too. In fact, as a rhythm section, the Mani/Reni combo is pretty phenomenal. Complex but surprisingly subtle.

'Elephant Stone' is my fave off the Turns Into Stone comp. great bass and drums on that one too
― Neptune Bingo (Michael B), Monday, 23 May 2016 21:33 (eight years ago) link
Turns into Stone is phenomenal. I think The Complete Stone Roses is slightly better because it has a couple other great songs that aren't on Turns into Stone, like "Across the Sands" and "Sally Cinnamon." Also, some copies came with what I think is their best backwards track, "I am Without Shoes," which genuinely sends shivers down my spine.

that version in particular.
John Leckie not being involved with the new album is a major red flag

I just heard All for One now. More plodding and uninspiring than a 3rd single from an 00s Oasis album.
― Freedom, Thursday, 26 May 2016 13:56 (eight years ago) link
The Beyonce example doesn't work as a lot of her fans think her first and third albums are really weak and the new material on the self titled reissue was poorly received too. It's only really her latest three albums that have been hugely popular. The Stone Roses qualify as the comments to this new single range from bizarre acts of loyalty, "it's the best song I've heard in 22 years" to finding ridiculous reasons why people are against it, "people are slagging it off before they've even heard it" and "where's your band if you think you can do better?". I've never seen any Beyonce fans search for reasons like that.

This whole argument makes absolute sense because both Stone Roses albums are indisputably held in equally high esteem.

I remember meeting Bob Stanley at Spike Island, he was a friend of a friend. I had to ask him three times what the name of his new band was, and finally just nodded and pretended I had understood. "Sainytain" or something like that. The day was a bit underwhelming, I wandered around on my own for hours on end, slightly stoned and dehydrated, and by the time the band was finally on, had developed a full on migraine. I enjoyed the gig, but it's not a great memory.

It might figure it might be easier for PE to book a tour with old late 80s and 90s rock bands in bigger halls than somehow tour with modern hip hop groups. The fans of the Stone Roses etc. probably bought a big portion of Public Enemy's records.

no you're right we should give this band who have done nothing of worth in more than 20 years and whose last single was a quarter-arsed ripoff of a fall song a fair hearing - this one could be an earthshattering return to form
