I haven’t listened to it through head phones and haven't had a problem with it but clearly need to listen to the first album. Thanks all for your advice.101Walterton wrote: ↑08 Nov 2018, 8:03pmYep I have that CD it is a pile of shit!!!laxman wrote: ↑08 Nov 2018, 7:35pmstone roses.jpgDr. Medulla wrote: ↑08 Nov 2018, 7:29pmThe two-disc re-release of that first album is all a person needs.

This one. The Complete Stone Roses, although clearly not really Complete!
If you listen to it through headphones it is like white noise tracking track.
Sound aside it only has 5 of the 11 excellent tracks on The Stone Roses and they are out of sequence and badly edited.
Apart from that a good comp

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
I have the 4 disc version from maybe 10 years ago. The original album, disc of demos, disc of b-sides, and then a live DVD which I've never watched. I honestly don't hate Second Coming. It does feel unfinished and half baked at times - but there are some moments where they really catch fire. Squire has some inspired moments. The album was never going to live up to the hype...but I'll still put it on now and then.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑08 Nov 2018, 7:29pmThe two-disc re-release of that first album is all a person needs.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Second Coming is no The Stone Roses however I like it. It has some good tracks on it and 10 Storey Love Song is a great Roses track.WestwayKid wrote: ↑08 Nov 2018, 10:18pmI have the 4 disc version from maybe 10 years ago.

TMBG, Glean. It's remarkable that they can still sound so quirky and so good after all these years.

It is mostly terrible. I was about to turn it off but "Time Is Tight" has just came on.101Walterton wrote: ↑13 Nov 2018, 8:22pmFrom memory there was a couple of good tracks Du Cane Road?
Or maybe that is the only track name I can remember and not because it was my home address!!!! Although was Toppers for a stretch obviously.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
That album reminds me that for all the ridiculous and borderline racist things nsc said, his craziest opinion was that Waking Up was the best post-Clash album.Heston wrote: ↑13 Nov 2018, 8:48pmIt is mostly terrible.

If you can decode this phrase, you are inner circle IMCT.
Also, it's been a long time since I've listened to that album and probably a long time yet before I do again.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Everyone knows what the best post-Clash album is. Any other opinion is lunacy.
