They did a quality cover version of Across 110th Street with Patton (unsurprisingly) absolutely nailing the vocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 James Blake and Radiohead releasing albums like its mid-November or something. Great stuff but not exactly summer material Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 The new Stone Roses song is on Radio 1 in a mo. First time I've listened to Radio 1 in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Is it actually Ian Brown? Sounds a bit too tuneful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I'm not sure I care about the new Roses song, which is odd because I used to love them. I've danced at many an Indie disco, to Fools Gold and I am the Resurrection, but have no desperate desire to hear it. Maybe my tastes have changed, maybe I'm just miserable. I'll probably hear it by accident in a few months time, and remark that it sounds a bit like the Stone Roses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a recording artist you'll always get a tune out of him even without studio tricks. Live he's too inconsistent, not that I've cared when I've seen him/them live. New tune? I need a few listens I think, at the moment it's alright. I listen to the Roses regularly still but as Dave said above tastes have changed and for the last 10 years there's only a few 'indie' tunes that have grabbed me.

troon_villan Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 I listened to it 4 or 5 times now and I really like it! Miles away from their best songs but I went into it expecting that tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only heard it once and it's nothing particularly ground breaking but there's the characteristic John Squire bit in the middle that sounded great.

troon_villan Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 It's very euphoric and upbeat. No, nothing groundbreaking but it's unfair to hold that against them. It's a great song from a great band, so I'm just gonna enjoy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted May 12, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 12, 2016 I have literally just spotted this thread at 23 30 on Thursday night and bet myself before clicking it that the hot topic would be the overrated stone roses. OK was a safe bet but still had a smug self satisfaction when started reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a half-decent pop tune which wouldn't get any air-play if it were from a lesser known band. I am a bit relieved though as I've still got a soft spot for the band and with this, they havent completely peed on their past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've listened to it about 20 times now and I'm still really not sure about it. It's strange, I like the song, I LOVE the guitar in it but I don't know if I like it as a Stone Roses song… It almost sounds more like the Seahorses than the Roses (not that there's anything wrong with The Seahorses, I love their album). I think the thing that disappoints me the most is the drumming, it's sounds so generic & doesn't have Reni's usual character to it. I was hoping for something more intricate from him I guess. Still, I wait to hear the rest of the album & hear how it sounds at the Etihad before giving up on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) Their final album. It's more polished, refined and overall a calmer affair than their other works. It suffers for this, and sounds like a bands final record more or less all the way through - tired, going though the motions, with few new ideas. What's worse is that due to the superior recording quality is that the lyrics - always pretty terrible - are now more decipherable, and man, I sure wish they weren't. There are some stinkers in there. They've continued the trend of more songs concerning current issues and the punk scene in general, rather than the outright hatred and need to destroy all of humankind that littered their earlier output. This too I'm not all that much a fan of. So, a bit of a disappointment, but clearly the end of the band is coming at the right time. For anyone curious, check out the Torture EP, the single sided 'Weekend Nacho' 8", the Unforgivable LP, and my personal favourite the Bleed EP for a better idea of what their output was like when the hate simply oozed from every single track.

That's no bad thing but it's not quite Roses. I imagine there is far better to come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Interesting album. Still undecided. There's a disturbing Indie element. Some here might like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
