The Stone Roses

[Mook]

I'm going to listen to it a few times and let it sink in before going mental on the Internet about it.

 

It wasn't remotely what I was expecting though.

[Pureblood]

It sounds like very early Beachwood Sparks.  

 

 

Edit: two listens and I'm erring on the side of Shit Waffle. For better or worse (worse) I wish they hadn't released this.  There are glimpses of something good, like when the vocals stop because it means you can't hear the lyrics someone's 12 year old wrote as a school project.

'Kinell. Spike Island was the start of a very long downward slope.

[Pureblood]

That many people building a wall would just get in the way.

 

They must be Donald Trump fans.  It's deceptively racist.  

[Bruce Spanner]

Anybody who is fanboying that shite needs to give their head a wobble.

 

That was dross.

 

Nostalgia at its worst in just hoping it was ever going to be good.

[Red_or_Dead]

Sounds like an Oasis song. n.b. this is not a good thing.  Sorry Stig.

[Bjornebye]

Sounds like the best band this country have produced since The Beatles? Well they will be made up with that shout.

[Mook]

Here we fucking go.

[Pureblood]

Let's not fight.  Join hands and build the wall.  

[cloggypop]

We should have a whip round and buy Stig some new ears.

My gut reaction, too.  Trying to hard for the big anthem and failed.  I do like the Squire interludes but it's hard to get past the lyrics and dreadful verse.  The chorus is okay but the lyrics again let it down.   

[DPW]

Not that great is it. But rubbish.

And the production is shocking too.   Wonder who wrote the lyrics, as Squire did quite a lot of the original one, e.g. Waterfall.

Yeah I was disappointed with how the drums sounded.  A bit pub rock with the 12/8 time signature.  

[Pureblood]

It's a bit like if Noel Gallagher joined James and together they wrote the cheesiest shitty anthem they could think of, then the Stone Roses decided to do a cover version.  

 

I'm not taking this well.

Who's bringing Reef into this?

Nobody mentioned Radiohead, Stig.

[Boss]

It's got that little British drum beat and it does sound like an Oasis track. But Noel wouldn't have thought up that solo, he'd be playing some pentatonic stuff over the top of the outro. Beady Eye wouldn't have wrote that chorus either, nor would Liam be able to sing it in his ketamine register.

 

In short i like it, although i've just noticed the similarities between the opening guitar riff and Ten Feet in the Deep by Lost Lady Luck which is slightly worrying.

[The Golden Eel]

Doesn't do anything for me, think I'll just forget all about it

[Adebisi]

If you ask me, they got together last week and pissed about in a studio for a few hours and thought 'Yeah sound, this will do!'

Very disappointed. I was expecting one of the songs of the summer for some reason.

[Tony Moanero]

I'm fucking apoplectic with rage even though I don't particularly like The Stone Roses and have no intention of listening to the new song.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

It's not terrible, terrible. But it's not great either.

 

It's a bit too rhymey for my liking.

[Ian Sea]

I think it's been released with the upcoming gigs in mind. It'll probably be second on the set list, quite upbeat, get people going. There will be plenty of better tunes on the album, if it ever gets released.

For anybody, like me, who hasn't heard it yet and, like me, was expecting there to be a link to it in here already, but, like me, your disgusted at the lazy cunts who've posted above not bothered to link it, here it is:
