{"product_id":"the-stone-roses-second-coming-geffen","title":"The Stone Roses - Second Coming (Geffen)","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe title is a joking reference to the messianic anticipation that built up in the years between the band's 1989 self-titled debut (which the NME ranked as the greatest album of the '80s) and this 1995 follow-up. It's also a description of the Stone Roses sound, a sort of second coming of '60s and '70s blues-rock, re-born with a funk beat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBack in '89 it sounded like a revolution, and it was: crossing Led Zeppelin and Bob Dylan with club music, it helped set the template for all British alternative rock to follow, from Blur to the revamped U2. Second Coming consolidates that sound with a see-sawing mix of hard-rock driving songs - with chunky electric guitar riffs and big beats - and acoustic anthems that immediately sound like they've been on the radio for a dozen years or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\"Ten Storey Love Song\", a devotional ballad with a Dylan-esque melody, and \"Your Star Will Shine,\" a psychedelic folk ditty that would have fit on an early Bee Gees album. \"Good Times\" is one of the big-beat numbers, and although it starts out sounding like a very blue Eric Burdon, it builds into a classic shouted-out blues-rock chorus, the kind on which FM radio thrived in the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\"Tears\" follows a Zeppelin-esque arc from acoustic to electric folk, which, no doubt, is the exact route a lot of hard-rock devotees think any Second Coming should follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracklist \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBreaking Into Heaven\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDriving South\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTen Storey Love Song\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDaybreak\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eYour Star Will Shine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eStraight To The Man\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBegging You\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTightrope\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eGood Times\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTears\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHow Do You Sleep\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eLove Spreads\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFoz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVersion: Black Vinyl 2LP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReleased: 13\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e August 2012\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatalogue Number: 00753385126\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition: New Sealed\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sunflower Records","offers":[{"title":"Black 2LP Vinyl","offer_id":59645932634437,"sku":null,"price":34.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/8268\/6533\/files\/thestonerosessecondcoming.webp?v=1791539047","url":"https:\/\/sunflowerrecords.co.uk\/products\/the-stone-roses-second-coming-geffen","provider":"Sunflower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
