the Stone Roses


Long ago there were roses (and well they continue.) A small minority of said roses were comprised of stone. For a band that only made two records they made quite the impact. Unfortunately, the Second Coming isn't fantastic. Their first record though is nearly flawless. Not a lot of nearly flawless records about. I can't think of any specific flaws, but let's not be throwing around words like perfect (though it just might be.)

The production on this record is both phenomenal and wildly appropriate. Appropriate is always the way (for me at least) to gauge production. If you want to know why some blues or country sounds great or others sound not so, look at the atmosphere presented just by the production values alone. Herein lies the problem with many (the majority of) recordings.


How about this?
