I'll still download the new one.

It'll be a 7 minute guitar solo, you know, not a rare groove thing.
i do! they had a few years nearly three decades ago when they produced a one album and a handful of b-sides which were genuinely really good. in an ideal world, that should have been their legacy but instead they're crawling back 20 years after a disappointing second album with a massively diminished rhythm section, a guitarist who has forgotten everything he ever learned about restraint and taste, and a singer whose greatest contributions to music has turned out to be teaching liam gallagher to walk like a chimp.

do you know what a rhythm section is
― Trump is dong (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 9 June 2016 20:09 (eight years ago) link
yeah, but i assumed you were just talking about how Reni's drumming is allegedly subpar now. I haven't heard anyone rip on Mani's bass playing specifically. Do you have a specific complaint about his bassery?
― Poliopolice, Thursday, 9 June 2016 20:14 (eight years ago) link
Mani's great on those Primal Scream records

true.
I don't really understand the impulse to say people shouldn't make music anymore because they made some good music 20 years ago and shouldn't "tarnish their legacy" or whatever. musicians gotta play music, it's a thing they do.

Good that they got someone who is in no way a Stone Roses fan to review the gig.

Browns vocals are too-often criticised by those who don’t get the reality of Madchester revivalism

I wouldn't write a review that breathlessly orgasmic about sex, let alone a concert
@djp : harsh.the reviewer was clearly overcome with the experience. i totally understand that emotional excess re a gig.in fact i would love to feel that rush again.
feel bad for posting the link now.

Oh no, I enjoyed reading it!

It's very Love Spreads.
― Kitchen Person, Thursday, 9 June 2016 23:08 (eight years ago) link
Right, let's give this rubbish a listen...

not available over here yet :(

It needs less John Squire and the chorus gets a bit annoying after the 10th time but it is an improvement over All For One.
― Kitchen Person, Thursday, 9 June 2016 23:12 (eight years ago) link
It's so Love Spreads we were sitting here singing the lyrics to Love Spreads over the top of it.
It's better than the last one.
― ailsa, Thursday, 9 June 2016 23:13 (eight years ago) link
It is like Love Spreads but even more like Breaking Into Heaven.

much better, yeah. all for one wore off after a few days for me

feelin this one
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 9 June 2016 23:18 (eight years ago) link
It's nothing like 'Love Spreads', IMO, more like a less excessive 'Breaking Into Heaven'
Anyway, after being sorely disappointed with 'All For One', I liked this one - probably because it sounds like The Stone Roses and doesn't sound like a Seahorses cast-off.

makes me realize how much I miss good guitarists
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 9 June 2016 23:20 (eight years ago) link
I saw people saying how they were relieved how they haven't repeated the formula of the first album but how do they feel about them repeating the formula of The Second Coming as that's what they've done here.
― Kitchen Person, Thursday, 9 June 2016 23:20 (eight years ago) link
breaking into heaven is a good call. I loved the second coming so im all for that kinda sound mixed with fools gold.
― Cosmic Slop, Thursday, 9 June 2016 23:21 (eight years ago) link
love the guitar sound on this song too (the best thing about all for one) but the rhythm section im feeling a LOT more on this one.
Unsurprisingly i love it when the roses do funky
― Cosmic Slop, Thursday, 9 June 2016 23:22 (eight years ago) link
I love the Second Coming
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 9 June 2016 23:22 (eight years ago) link
It sounds like a halfway house between the post-S/T groove stuff and Second Coming's Zeppelinisms. There's much less guitar wankery here.
― the hair - it's lost its energy (Turrican), Thursday, 9 June 2016 23:23 (eight years ago) link
yeah this feels more restrained than Breaking Into Heaven for ex., but there's a lot of little details in the guitars
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 9 June 2016 23:24 (eight years ago) link
listening now and picturing loads of bucket hats on their way to the bar/bogs
― PaulTMA, Thursday, 9 June 2016 23:25 (eight years ago) link
Brown's voice sounds better on this track than on any track of Second Coming, too!
― the hair - it's lost its energy (Turrican), Thursday, 9 June 2016 23:26 (eight years ago) link
(x-post to Shakey)
will need a few listens to judge but im not sure how it works as an actual single might be more of a good album track?

Technology has come on leaps and bounds since whenever that was.
― Larry 'Leg' Smith (Tom D.), Thursday, 9 June 2016 23:32 (eight years ago) link
It has a kind of "back half of side 2" vibe to it, yeah, but this has at least got me feeling optimistic for the album.
― the hair - it's lost its energy (Turrican), Thursday, 9 June 2016 23:34 (eight years ago) link
xpost Yeah, it's interesting that I've seen so many people proclaim them as the return of real music to save us from all this manufactured pop rubbish (not on here obviously), but his voice will have been auto-tuned as much as any pop band, if not more.
― Kitchen Person, Thursday, 9 June 2016 23:35 (eight years ago) link
I'm hoping for more of the groove/funk oriented stuff on the LP. I'm guessing Shakey and Cosmic Slop are too.
― the hair - it's lost its energy (Turrican), Thursday, 9 June 2016 23:42 (eight years ago) link
it's a thing they're good at, but I like all their sides tbh. for ex. my favorite thing on Second Coming is probably "Your Star Will Shine"
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 9 June 2016 23:46 (eight years ago) link
the only songs i dont care for on the second coming are the 2 shitty ballads in the middle of it
― Cosmic Slop, Thursday, 9 June 2016 23:51 (eight years ago) link
i wonder if there will be a 3rd single before the album that is more like the debut album? that would ensure great sales i reckon. Remember a lot the 1st album fans only liked ten storey love song as it was 60s pop not funk or led zep/hendrix/funkadelic rock
― Cosmic Slop, Thursday, 9 June 2016 23:53 (eight years ago) link
for all the love fools gold gets im pretty damn sure an album like that instead of what the second coming was wouldve still went down like a lead balloon with some of the 1st stone roses album lovers I know.
― Cosmic Slop, Thursday, 9 June 2016 23:56 (eight years ago) link
Wish it were longer, but 7 minutes is awesome. I'll take it. What a pleasure. They have their money, they don't need to do this for anything but the pleasure of doing it, which is a great place to be... For me it's right there between Breaking Into Heaven and Ian's second album, which gestured at this sort of approach but of course he didn't have musicians of this caliber/togetherness/history. Psychedelic groove cool preacher mode. I understand that maybe it doesn't mean anything to anyone but the already converted, and that's totally understandable there is a sweet redemption around this song (moreso than the first comeback single, which I liked) because it somehow really does pick up a baton that was dropped by this same relay team 25 years ago. Crazy.
