The Stone Roses - Breaking into Heaven (audio only)

[@ajmc22008]

This album is criminally underrated.

[@matthewking5612]

It was about money, in a way the first wasn't.

[@edmunddantes4757]

Agree. Never gets the recognition it deserves.

[@brolleyhook]

Giving their 'comeback' interview to the Big Issue upset the music papers, who subsequently gave a great album a rubbish review, by way of retaliation

[@jesushorse8404]

It also doesn't help that youboob/goofle doesn't have the common courtesy to respect artists and instead shoves an ad in the middle of a song. Guess what GOOGLE Guess what KZbin, I will NEVER support any ad that you shove into an artists music. You don't get it? You are not too big to fail.

It's a lot more mature than 'the stone roses' But I can't choose btwn the better of the 2! The 1st is full of teenage memories. The 2nd was a grower...but excellent album.

Speak for yourself, I prefer this sound a million times over the jingly jangly pop of the debut. And the trip the band, in particular Reni, couldn't follow was a cocaine induced ego trip.

The ending from 4.25-7.00 is brilliant. I suppose that in retrospect it is the sound of a band burning at its brightest to fizzle out quickly but that's what some bands do whereas others just create more average work for longer.

[@Therejectionartist]

@justafocus.... In Brown's defence, he was the driving force behind getting the band together in the first place...his energy created the group, and it wouldn't exist without him..so yes his voice has deteriorated over the years, it might not have been that good in the first place, but you've got to give him credit for forming the band and writing a lot of the songs. It's like criticising Jim Morrison for shouting and growling, but not singing...he wasn't a classical singer either, although better than Brown, but just like him, was responsible for putting the band together - which is quite a critical role if you ask me.

[@JustAFocus]

+The Rejection Artist Yeah, I agree with you, man. He was also a great lyricist, and he came up with some great song ideas, collaborating with Squire. Can't really agree on the Morrison analogy, because I think Morrison actually had a voice. Ian doesn't. But no matter -- because damn, their studio-recorded output still knocks me flat.

[@philippboetcher9959]

+JustAFocus sorry but Ian Browns unique voice is the major reason this band became what they are now. Absolute genius voice that man! Unique and being so ahead of its time!

@Dienekes888 It was accused of being mediocre because of bad timing. Remember, the court case with Silvertone dragged on for almost 4 years and then the appeal took another year. By the time 'the second comming' was released Nirvanna came and gone, that unholy Damon Alburn arrived and then Oasis rose. Just bad timing. It breaks my heart because as good as this album is, this is the Stone Roses slowly drifting away; on the way down. It hurts to say that.

John Squire said that at the time, he was influenced by Led Zepplin when he wrote the tunes. I've gotten myself into a few arguments over it. Does anyone agree?

I agree, I think slightly too much. It's great guitar work, but this is a wholly different stone roses than the orange slice album.

[@Dbusdriver71]

@@Pez4873 Its been a long time since I posted this; I forgot about it. 'They' definitely went into a different direction. They had been away for so long; Oasis was really rolling. It was all edgier than the more 60ish Stone Roses tunes was doing. I can still listen to the Album and all the earlier work better than I can Oasis. If you were there in the late 80s I think you would have agreed with me. The Stone Roses always had a place in the Manchester Scene with tunes like the first album no matter what anyone else was doing. I like the early Oasis stuff a lot but it just not as good as the first Roses album. But its all history now.

[@Pez4873]

@@Dbusdriver71 Heh, I just realized I responded to a 9 year old post. We seem to be in agreement. I wore the orange slice album out in the cassette deck of my 1990 Nissan Sentra. I have always hesitated to compare them to oasis, as I didn't care for them that much, but it's an obvious comparison. I like to think of orange slice and second coming as independent things. Both things have merit independent of the other. Comparing them to one another only serves to lessen both... they are just very different things. As you said, it's history now, they can be viewed as we see fit.

[@Dbusdriver71]

@@Pez4873 I wouldn't compare the two bands either; almost totally different tunes. The Stone Roses first album was under hostile conditions a.k.a. Tony Wilson. Before he died he stated that Gareth Evans put him up to a lot of it though (in Essence). The Stone Roses were definitely independent. Oasis didn't really have any resistance when they release their first. Commericially speaking, Oasis sold more tunes but the Stone Roses touched onto something we have not heard since the brilliant 60s. Noel Gallagher didn't endear himself very well when they were going around playing Beatles Tunes. There is a lot of story and history to this but I concur with you; we can enjoy both now. There are few people left who remember those days back in England at the Manchester Scene but They both are something.
