Amazon.co.uk Review

To say that Time Changes Everything has been a long time coming would be an understatement. And for John Squire, time does indeed change everything--the band line-ups perhaps more than anything else. Whereas his previous incarnation--the doomed Seahorses--had perhaps three (well, three and a half) moments of genius ("Love Is the Law", etc) with a clutch of turgid, tuneless insults filling up the rest of the album--his debut solo effort is a much more balanced affair. Whether that is a good thing or not is debatable. Working closely with coproducer of the Stone Roses' Second Coming (another long-awaited Squire disappointment), the most immediate thing about Time Changes Everything is hearing Squire's voice for the first time--it growls like a whiskey-drowned Van Morrison and is both surprising and engaging. The tunes, about "country boys" and "the eye of a hurricane" are, if nothing else, original (for Squire) but it sounds at times like his voice influenced this style of music more than the other way round. Rootsy, American influenced warblings such as "I Miss You" and the heartfelt "Time Changes Everything" are winners, even if they are strangely familiar in that way that makes you think you've heard all of Proud Mary's songs before. It's interesting, but lacking the genius (or glimpses of it) that has characterised and redeemed his past projects. --Ben Johncock


CD Description

'Time Changes Everything' is the debut solo album by the ex-Stone Roses guitarist, John Squire. This release marks the first time that Squire has provided lead vocals for his own compositions. It follows a five year absence from the music scene, as his last project was the 1997 album by The Seahorses, 'Do It Yourself'.

3.0 out of 5 stars A valiant effort but..., 16 Sep 2002
By A Customer
Well, it's been a long time coming - but it ultimately left me a little disappointed. I suppose the major talking point would have to be Squire's voice - it's not that bad actually, but it seems to me like he's trying too hard, trying to make his voice overly 'interesting' to cover up for an obvious lack of confidence. The guitar work is tasteful, but lacking a bit of passion. There's also more acoustic stuff on here than I'd expect, but Squire is as melodic as ever.

The songs actually aren't too bad - better than most on the Seahorses offering, but they're lacking depth. Those blues-rockers wanting more Led Zep guitar will need to look elsewhere, and those (like me) awaiting more first Roses album genius, well - the waiting will continue. All in all, a valiant effort, but I feel most will liken this to modern era Eric Clapton. Everyone knows the fire of his youth has gone, the best stuff has long sinced passed, but you just still keep hoping... Keep 'em coming, John - I'll still buy whatever you turn out!
