City Rocker Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 It's a good pop song with some great playing and a catchy chorus. When I bought the Stone Roses debut album in 1989, a few weeks after its release, it never left my turntable for at least six months. It was the most monumental leap forward in popular music for years and completely changed youth culture, fashion, and even the way we cut our hair, for years to come. I still listen to that record often. All For One is a nice tune, but I doubt I'll be buying it, never mind listening to it in 27 years time.

One Team In Keynsham Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Best review I have read so far is "like the Charlatans were staying at the same Holiday Inn as Status Quo and decided to get together and write a song in under 5 minutes." My view? Utter bobbins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All for One is much the better song, riff, melody - it's all there. Not their greatest by a long way, but it's a foot tapper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Dawe Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 When Squire and Brown wrote "I wanna be adored" they, like most of us who loved them in 1989/1990, were in their early/mid 20s, thin, smooth skinned, in their prime and with most of their lives ahead of them. You can hear it in that song, in that album. Now, they, like us, are middle-aged, flabby, overweight, slowing down, with one eye on their pension pots and their best days behind them. And you can hear all this in their latest release. Have a nice weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nebristolred Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 You can use IWBA as an example, but equally, She Bangs the Drums has great lyrics, as well as Waterfall and I Am the Resurrection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was lucky enough to live in Manchester from 1986 to 1994. And their 1st album is likely in my all time top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUTOR Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 I think it's alright. Could of gone a lot worse... comparing it it to their first album shouldn't be done, it was a complete game changer, the best record to come out of this country since its release. Without it, no Oaisis, no Blur, no Libertines and probably even no modern bands such as kasabian. I'm looking forward to more releases, there's still some good stuff in them it's just a case of knowing where they should look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS5_RED Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Have been a big Roses fan for longer than I'd care to remember. However, I'm on the dislike bandwagon with this one. Unfortunately the Charlatans/Quo joke is on the money. Personally though - the song just reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFWst8c_Cvk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
