Stone Roses single this Friday?

Can't get excited about this at all. It's not bad but it's in no way great. The lyrics are pretty crap and I can't get away from that really... it has a nice groove to it and I like Squire's guitar work but it just is too sonically like some of their previous output. It could really be an outtake or an unreleased track from either previous record.. hopefully better and more interesting things to come and they just decided to lead off with the 'catchy' pop song type number.... having said that things don't usually go well with bands reforming after all these years especially when it comes to new material... we shall see..

Hmmmm, it sort of hit me the way the new Star Wars film did, it wasn't horrible, I actually liked it but something was off about it, and I can't really explain it.

Probably the crappiest review ever but there ya go

Beside of me, all over me
Behind of me, right in front of me
Inside of me, for I to see
In harmony, all one family

I should've elaborated. What I meant there, was that, that part of the song is great.
In and around the second verse near the end onwards
But the repetition at the start... Not so much.
I've only been listening to it occasionally, having heard it roughly 4 or 5 times, as I didn't want to overplay it.

As for the Stone Roses tune, yeah not really doing much for me. If a new band came along and released it as their debut single I doubt many people would give it much attention.

Yeah, anyone saying this is a great song or anywhere near the Stone Roses' at their best is basing that assertion purely on reputation and past productions. It's a nothing song. And you're quite right in your assertion.

As for Suede, they may laugh in the face of that assertion, but they will never come close to producing something like the Roses' eponomyous album.

It's all opinions but for me Dog Man Star is a much better album than the Roses debut.

Fair enough, it's subjective. Though I'd argue the Roses debut has received wider critical acclaim and has had a larger cultural and musical impact.

Come on, Bloodsports wasnt much to write home about was it? Night Thoughts is a different story however.
