Franchement sans intérêt.
Reminded me of nirvana and I don’t particularly care for them but I dozed off about halfway through
one hit wonders mostly
Meh
2/5 nothing much
This album started off ok but quickly went onto pretentious indie hipster sounds. I was genuinely annoyed by some of the songs on this album. Many went on too long and this album felt too long in general. To my surprise it was only 60 minutes? Can you also imagine how stupid this guy is that he meant to draw a French flag, but actually drew the Dutch flag! Would've given it 3 stars but deducting one for that too.
It's fine, whatever. Faded into the background. I know people who rave about this album but it barely left a mark. A couple of tracks sounded like 1980s era Stranglers. Oh well.
Not bad music, but the vocals/lyrics tether nooses to the vibe to make it all a bit drab.
I didn't get the hype over this album. For me, it just sounds like old pop. Sounds old today as it probably sounded in 1989.
I didn't hate this as much as I expected to. But it is undeniably, very much, a late 80s non-Seattle alternative album. Every song was the same and it went forever, fuck. 2/5.
I'd never really listened to the Stone Roses before, I always knew the name and the album cover but when it came up I realised I didn't know it. Probably for the best because I found it completely naff dad music, so boring and wet.
Not bad, a little bland but didn't hate it.
Meh.. There were some good moments. Some good grooves. Otherwise, I felt like it was pretty corny. Just seems like it didn’t age well? Maybe? Idk.. it didn’t seem super long even though it was an hour long. That’s a plus, by the way. I wanted it to end the whole time. I guess the universe answered me.
More British dad rock. I've listened to this before and it's alright. Better than most Madchester and Britpop shite. Fools Gold is a great track which didn't appear on the original tracklist (as it was a non-album single). If they made a whole album with that funk-leaning sound, I'd be into it. As it stands, lots of the tracks are dreary indie-pop. Waterfall is catchy dreary pop. Then there's a song that sounds like Waterfalls played backwards, just because it's psychedelic, innit our kid. 2.5*
Oh my ears. Back off the treble guvna. I kept turning this very bright mix of sounds down. #headphonelife
This album feels uninspired and repetitive. The songs are fine, but nothing that you haven't heard before or that was made in a better way after.
(3) I appreciated being slapped in the face with weirdness for the five minutes of the fourth track of this. Don't understand the acclaim, but Don't Stop and what followed it make the Stone Roses' self-titled a worthwhile listen. Those first three tracks are pretty conventional, and so are the general arrangements. Th roughness of the entire presentation is intriguing but not quite right.
The singer has a pretty good voice, but awful enunciation. It constantly sounds like he’s slurring or mumbling the lyrics. Between that and the terrible mixing it was a struggle to understand a word he was saying, even when I relistened after reading the lyrics. A pretty definitive “meh” from me; it’s catchy in a generic sort of way, but the aforementioned issues with the vocals made it a chore to listen to otherwise.
Not my favourite style, but some ok songs.
Fine.
“An average rock album – lyrically pedestrian and with a sonic policy swerving from the play-safe to the over-indulgent.”
Noto la influencia de Jesus.... en michas canciones y rambien la influencia que oasis recibio de ellos, es amigable para escuchar. Destaca Fools Gold
First Listen. 2/5
Nah. Didn't vibe with me.
Largely boring.
тут есть трек из фифы!
2.5/5. Never seen what the fuss is about for this band or album.
Meh
Wel lekkere sound, maar zal het niet zo snel nog eens aanzetten
Meh. This doesn’t work for me
Ok, had trouble staying interested
So this album...it was good, but I felt like it was nothing that special. Nothing really stood out. But I liked the vocals on every song.
Not good with a few mediocre tracks at best. 6.4/10
Quand j’ai entendu les premières notes de bass et de guitare ça la tout de suite catcher mon oreille et j’ai salivé je pensais de trouvait un bon groupe progressif à écouter !!!j’ai débandé vite,ça tombe flat et répétitif on aurait dit du Duran duran pop. Mais dans l’ensemble ça s’écoutait
buns
je ne les connaissais pas on dirait un mélange de beach boy .moody blues ect. bref une gibelotte bobon ca s'écoute malgré tout
2.5 | Dirían en inglés es un disco muy bien "book-ended" muy buenas la primera y última canciones, pero nada más. No es un mal disco, pero se me hizo solo un disco "bien" a secas. Es primera vez que lo escucho, aunque sí lo había visto mencionado antes como una maravilla, entre los mejores discos (o el mejor en algunas listas) de toda la historia del Reino Unido... Perdón pero eso es una estupidez, las cosas que hace bien el disco no son tan brillantes, e incluso esas cosas buenas no son tan originales (para lo "revolucionarios" que les llaman suenan demasiado a copias de lo que hacían The Byrds 15 años antes). Las letras absolutamente sin sentido, sin deseos de decir nada más allá de una tonada mensa pegajosa. Se nota que son el inicio del Britpop, se nota que son cosa fuerte para que existiera el sonido de Oasis (lo cual no es cumplido, mas bien vergüenza le debiera de dar a quien fuera culpable de eso) y el disco no es una aberración, pero llamarles revolucionarios, genios o "el mejor disco de Reino Unido"? No... ni cerca.
Siento que el disco tiene los elementos para gustarme como pocos. También me deja un sabor insípido, salvo un par de canciones y ciertos momentos que claramente rescata el britpop. Leí que las letras están inspiradas por los disturbios estudiantiles de Francia y supongo que por eso no hubo atracción por la lírica en general. Es agradable para oírlo sin mucha atención, aunque creo que comienza demasiado lento y meloso, aumentando el beat y los guitarrazos hacia el final. Songs: Made of Stone, I Am the Resurrection.
nice, i guess. early 90s kinks
Not for me.
2.5
I was distracted working while listening so that probably affected my rating. Very unmemorable except for maybe 1 song.
Yeah really bang average
I don't understand the AllMusic review calling this a "dance" album. It just kind of sounds like another britpop record to me. I do like how "I Am the Resurrection" gets pretty interesting near the end, but I didn't really see the hype behind this. Favorite tracks: "(Song for My) Sugar Spun Sister", "I Am the Resurrection"
Okay
It's...not great. Musical noise. There i some skill, but it doesn;t sound good.
Boring and normal. Just sounds like 80’s rock.
1.5
I found this music boring and repetitive.
mushy, indistinct, some atmospheric parts but overall a dull listen
Overrated in the extreme.
Not a fan. I know it's probably inspired a lot of music that I like. It felt familiar, but somehow derivative at the same time. I was bored. The songs, for the most part, felt the same.
British - Check Rock - Check Nonsesne Lyrics - Check Yep not sure what these bands are up to, but I wish they had something to say. I feel like this is the fallout of the beatles on music.
so boring i could barely get through it!
I do not like this album. I doubt I’ll listen to a single song again.
Meh
No, thanks. Didn't finish. Two stars minus one star for Brown's anti-vaccine BS.
Bof
not a fan of british rock, but worth a listen
Hmmm, I hadn't heard of this group. On my first listen, I'm not a fan. Across the entire album I found the the vocals to be like a soft static. Not irritating, but with no weight. Two songs that I like are "Made of Stone," and "Fools Gold." While the the singing is inconsequential on both, the guitar on "Made of Stone" has a nice rock sound, and "Fools Gold" has a jazzy funk that's fun. Stone Roses is that kid in school that teachers say if they applied themselves they would do better. That's how I feel about this album.
Is this a joke?
nelimpa
Lame!
Very bleh to me. I’d never heard of them before this and I think I would’ve been fine without them.
There were some interesting moments on this album, but mostly bland brit rock to me. I can't really rate this higher than a one.
My first impression was that this was pretty meh... then I read all the rave reviews on Wikipedia (and here) and gave it a second, customary playthrough to see what I missed. My opinion didn't change. In fact, now I'm even more sure that it is, indeed, as mehsome as they come. Seriously, there's not a single standout track here. Nothing about this is interesting or memorable.... other than maybe those last two tracks being way longer than they should be. I can find no value in this, and I'm puzzled why it's so highly rated.
I don’t know who this Colin Larkin is, but I can speak with conviction that after this entry I will not being listening to his 1000 albums after this experiment is done.
Technically nothing wrong. Everything in tune. Impressive or groundbreaking - NO. Just another britpop album.
Not for me. 1/5
I'm sorry but, boring.
begon goed, tot 'zanger' zijn bek opentrok... "i wanna be adored" zei hij, maar met dat vlakke monotone geluid dat uit zijn mond kwam zal hij er niet toe komen... instant vergeetbaar
Meh
boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring
Not my shot glass of vodka
Another British band that was part of a scene I was not familiar with at the time, but now see in retrospective. Still don't even remotely identify with that scene, other than there were several cool, new sounding, bands that had some personality. Completely guessing here, but the Stone Roses were probably the coolest of these bands (like, Blur? Verve? Oasis? dunno) but never had the mainstream success of the others and broke up and did other projects. They were either loved or hated at the time and now people think the opposite of what they thought then. I wonder if these guys ever heard of The Beatles /s Not that there's anything wrong with emulating the Beatles - everyone does/did it. Not bad - if you don't like the "sound" of Stone Roses, there are a few songs near the end of the album with a cleaner, rock tone. Kind of a Herman's Hermits vibe to some of these tunes.
worst album ive had the displeasure of listening to. i dont care if the lyrics are meaningful if it means the most boring and droning music. god i hate this album "britpop" is so fucking ass
blaaaand
How does that work?
Who? No.
Redundant beat, melody. Monotone throughout. No one song stood out to me.
DOO DOO GET THIS 60S ROCK AWAY FROM MEEEE
This album has exactly zero interesting or catchy melodies, a rambling half-hearted rhythm section, and no creative ideas apart from a random sitar passage. They had about four minutes worth of music and somehow stretched it into 58 minutes. 0.5/5.0: Unlistenable
Not going to spend much time on this review, due to my dislike of all things Stone Roses. Their biggest sins? Boredom, that seems to melt all the songs into one big droning mess. Blah.
Dosta su me zamorili ti britanski rock bendovi u ovome projektu, imam osjećaj da dobivaju way too much space ovdje i baš ne mogu to slušati više. Na cijelom albumu mi je po pola dvije pjesme bilo okej, ostalo baš neuzbudljivo i ne kužim, eto. 1/5, 1.5/10
I don’t see any meaning with this album nor is the music actually good.
Die Krönung an langweiliger Musik.
Not for me
6/10 was aight
Blah
This is indie-rock that shows you what happens when a band takes itself way too seriously while sounding like they’re performing from the bottom of a well. Ian Brown’s vocals are somewhere between “I just rolled out of bed” and “I just rolled out of bed but also I’m high.” Every song sounds like it’s building up to something and then … just fizzles. They’re so laid back, they’re practically horizontal, and by the time it’s over, you’ll want to lie down too, just to process how little you felt.
Alternative band with no unique sound. Kinda boring.
Nicht meine Richtung
An abortion in musical notes
Uggg, hard to like it. Almost like muzak to me. Soft rock, folkie, jam sessionsiony. I don’t like it.
Fools Gold is the only real jewel on this album for me. I wish they would have done this whole album in that style.
1. be adored - 1 2. the drumz - 1.5 3. uuaterfall - 1 4. dont ztop - 0 5. bad man - 0 6. my dear - 0 7. zizter - 0 8. ztone - 1.5 9. zhoot - 1 10. the one - 1 11. rezurection - 1.5 12. foolz gold - 1
Blah blah blah, so low humm, blurry sounds, lullaby feeling, non excitement boring. Every song sounded the same ugh, pass.. 1 star
No, just no
it was okay until the the 4th song, Don't Stop. Gave me a headache, and I had to ... stop.
If never actually heard the since risers before this. It's very forgettable.
didnt click
Meh. Another able I did not enjoy.
Sounds like a mixture of other bands. Nothing interesting.
I don’t think I have ever heard an album with worse sound mixing ever. It sounded like they recorded everything inside of a shipping container. There are also odd stylistic choices like recording backmasking for long lengths of track. Not a fan.
The Stone Roses were never on my radar. Never stood out for me before and after listening Im not sure why it made the list.
what
Mah
Don’t like it. 1
3 good songs
Hate the vocals
Got two songs in.
I hate the stone roses it was a period in music I couldn't enjoy.
So echo-y, I had to check that it wasn’t an issue with my device. Painful to get through. Won’t listen again.
get bored when i listened it
Not really a fan of this genre
Das ist ja mal wieder richtig schlecht. Eine weitere Platte, für die man Dimery in die Fresse hauen möchte.
I don't care
I straight up don't like the Stone Roses.
Garbage did not like this at all
I didn’t enjoy this album to the point where I started daydreaming and didn’t realize it was playing. It had little fleeting moments of “ooo ahh okay” but none that stuck.
Idk bro it's just not for me I think. Couple okay songs, She Bangs the Drums, Elizabeth my Dear
Dritt
not my bag, baby
Right off the bat I know I'm going to like this album. I recognize "I Wanna Be Adored" probably because it usually ends up on some of the indie playlists/radios I already listen to. Just based on the first song, it kinda reminds me of artists like the Pixies or My bloody valentine. I had to skip through "dont stop" because it was making my little adhd brain too overstimulated lol.
