5.0 out of 5 stars Burned bright and briefly, 4 Mar 2006
By E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
The Stone Roses were one of those bands who burned brightly... and all too briefly. Thankfully their presence has been long-lasting -- the music of their self-titled first album still lingers long after the breakup of the band. They captured lightning in a bottle, even if their first album's musical perfection was their downfall.

After the panoramic, rumbling buildup of "I Wanna Be Adored," the Roses catch you with rollicking, infectious rock songs and psychedelic trips. While sticking to strong pop melodies and rock instrumentation, the Roses manage to experiment around a bit -- the delicate "Waterfall" is literally turned backwards and replayed, in a song that is almost as good as the original.

The true rock rebellion shows in "Bye Bye Bad Man" with protests concerning French student riots ("Every backbone and heart you break/We'll still come back for more") and an acid-tinged anti-royalist song. Finishing up the unalloyed brilliance is the bitter, complicated "I Am the Resurrection," and the melodic "Fool's Gold" -- two of the best songs on the album.

The Stone Roses spread their influence far in this album -- there are soft ballad-like melodies, whirling psychedelic trips, and rock that rises, crests and slowly sinks. Expect your heartbeat to rise and sink with it -- because this music has a richness and depth that most rock music cannot even begin to equal.

John Squire's guitar riffs are flexible and fluid; it sounds like this guy was reinventing guitar licks all on his own. His shimmering guitar riffs of "Waterfall" are truly magnificent. The deep basslines will drawn you in whether you like it or not, as will Reni's outstanding drumming. Everything culminates in a wild, dense psychedelic mass in the overwhelming "I Am the Resurrection."

Ian Brown's vocals are excellent; unlike many rock singers, he has genuine vocal talent. The writing for these songs is deeply vibrant. Sometimes the intensity is almost breathtaking, as Brown sings, "I am the resurrection and I am the light/I couldn't ever bring myself/To hate you as I'd like." Ow, heavy stuff. But he is equally good with the quieter songs, sounding sad and a little pensive.

"The Stone Roses" is an unforgettable musical experience. A culmination of musical genius, this is one of the handful of albums out there without a bad track or a sense of monotony. Very, very highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sensational stuff, 13 Dec 2005
What can you say of a CD that begins with 'I wanna be adored', and ends with 'I am the resurrection', with songs like 'She bangs the drums' or 'Made of stone' in the middle? Obviously, that it must be one of the best CDs ever made. It has lots and lots of raw energy throughout the set, from the slow rising of the beginning of 'I wanna be adored' (a chilling moment) to the instrumental end to 'I am the resurrection'. Everything is sensational here, from the way Ian Brown delivers the lyrics, to John Squire's guitar, and the wonderful rhytmic section (Mani and Reni are excellent players).
This CD is clearly a must for every music lover: Energic without being noisy, elegant without being snob, even arrogant with a certain sense of taste. It always recharges my batteries, when I come home from work. And, being a pathologist, it is really difficult sometimes to recharge them, but this always manages it.

5.0 out of 5 stars How did i miss them?, 14 Jun 2007
By gozeat "Gozeat" (Northampton) - See all my reviews
I bought this album after listening to tracks from it played on the radio. I had often thought of buying a Stone Roses album and I am so glad that I have. It is one of the must buy albums! A marvellous melody filled work of brilliance. If had been made in the sixties (when I grew up) it would have been perfectly at home (though the drug influence may have been a little different!). Waterfall and She bangs the Drum are great tracks. I know little about them as individuals but I don't care as this is a truly great album.
