| 5.0 classic | xfearbefore | October 6th 10 |
I am appalled by some of the things respected members of this community have said about this album, and how frustratingly wrong they are. This is a classic album in every sense of the word, from the incredibly melodies of "She Bangs the Drums" to the epic magnum opus of rock and roll that is "I Am the Resurrection", this is a classic album in every sense of the word. Don't let the pseudo hipsters who have to go against whatever NME is saying this week try to convince you otherwise, this is a landmark of British rock music and an absolutely STUNNING record from start to finish.

I'll happily concede that The Stone Roses featured 3 very talented musicians, and that together, they could occasionally conjure moments of hypnotic, trippy magic. And yet, the fact that they only once managed to write a half-decent song ("I Wanna Be Adored"), and never managed a memorable melody, is proof that Ian Brown is the worst frontman in the history of music. Listening to this album is frustrating, infuriating, and ever so slightly despressing, simply because Brown irrepairably fucks up everything he touches. File under 'Could have been great; unfortunately, ended up a pile of wank.'

To the two idiots claiming the Stone Roses copied Kasabian and Keene, are you aware Kasabian and Keene came a decade after the Stone Roses? You may also find that the first Oasis album didnt come out until about 5 years after this one. Cocks.

It's Madchester, bitch! Led by Happy Mondays for its dance side, and The Stone Roses for its rockier edge, the city which saw Engels foment what would become communist theory always cultivated a certain edge compared to the rest of the country. Deeply influenced by whatever substance they could ingest, as well as 60s psych rock, these lads incorporated catchy melodies within dazey layers and groovy rhythms. It's subtle, though, said melodies do sound underwhelming at first. The more time you spend with this album, the more irresistible the melodies become. One thing that nevertheless doesn't change with many listens under the belt: Ian Brown is a shit singer.

Ian Brown is a terrible singer, among the worst I've ever heard. And I rated this 1.5/5 about a year ago, because after countless replays of the album I was sure his singing did not merit any higher than that. But I still find myself listening to this record on occasion, and enjoying it. You'll get over the voice, and what's hidden below the surface is actually pretty good. Not deserving of being placed on all those "best album ever" lists, but good enough.

After a decade of cold commercial synth driven MTV freeze dried industrial offerings, The Stone Roses self-title debut reverses the tide spectacularly. This is a revered album for its jangle guitars, swagger and Madchester presentation. This is the one..... yes indeed it was.

Nothing is anything more than mildly creative, but I'll be damned if it doesn't put a smile
on my dial.

How can anyone on here POSSIBLY be trolling this LP??r1. Listen to the first track and tell me you don't wanna groover2. FINISH the album and then immediately listen AGAINr3. Stop trolling on about things you dislike and look up Def Leopard or something.

There's not a dull melody anywhere on this record. A tiny, tiny handful of dull moments, but never a dull melody. More 60's in spirit than in practice, the Roses set the gold standard for the decade to come in British guitar rock. Something about those layers of reverb feels revolutionary. Those stuttered, dancing snare lines, the guitar figures that spread out like clouds forming... sure, it's derivative, but all the same it's one of a kind. The vocals are breathy and sexual, the lyrics adolescent and naive. You can feel the party. And you can feel the drugs. Can't say it's not a masterpiece. 9.5/10

True,Ian Brown wasnt a great singer.
Still,this is one incredible album and the talent of the remaining members cant be denied.
From the hipnotic "I wanna be adored" to the dreamy "Waterfall" to the danceble "I am the resurrection" this album shines the whole way.
Sounding both fresh and influenced by the 60s,the fact that the Roses captured a whole era continues to amaze.
