ah, they played it twice in a row a minute ago

Lyrically and musically, kind of had the "One Love" / "What the World is Waiting For" vibe. The riff was a little Beatle-y though I can't pinpoint exactly which song, but tone was heavier, and had more noodly guitar, like stuff off Second Coming.
― Poliopolice, Thursday, 12 May 2016 19:07 (ten years ago)
I wouldn't put it among their best songs, but it probably would have been in the top half of Second Coming.
― Poliopolice, Thursday, 12 May 2016 19:08 (ten years ago)
Oh, it's on Spotify already.

rather displeased with the lyrics, honestly... in their prime, they were able to straddle this delicate line between earnest positivity and sublimated contempt... but lyrically, this seems a little on the cheesy side.
― Poliopolice, Thursday, 12 May 2016 19:15 (ten years ago)
I felt a mix of enjoyment and just plain relief it wasn't as terrible as it could have been. The lyrics are terrible, the riff's pretty good. I do have expectations for the album now.

Yeah, Ian totally dropped the ball here, not that anyone was expecting some Bob Dylan shit, but still...

New Radiohead, Stone Roses and Super Furry Animals within a week... sorely tempted to check my calendar to see what year this is.

and Misfits reunion. LOL.
― Poliopolice, Thursday, 12 May 2016 19:19 (ten years ago)
i still love this band though, and regardless of how bad this song could have been, i'd still be excited for a new album
― Poliopolice, Thursday, 12 May 2016 19:23 (ten years ago)
Pretty decent single tho its not Love Spreads level good. Its at least not a retread of the 1st album which is what I was dreading.

Haslam's got cloth ears, it's 'I Want To Tell You' not 'Tomorrow Never Knows'

xp ok, doubly so after Kitchen Person's link
this song is a prank, right

no wait, the tweet that compares it to "Tomorrow Never Knows" is the actual prank? it must be

I've just heard it and PaulTMA's description isn't actually that far off the mark.

People have made this comparison
the character on the right bears a resemblance to Ian Brown, but aside from that, I'm not seeing it. Presence of the words "all for one" is not sufficient.

Also, weirdly, it's probably the best Ian Brown's ever sounded. Shame the song sounds like mid-table mid-'90s Britpop.
― But... could you imagine a formation in your lemonade? Ho! (Turrican), Thursday, 12 May 2016 20:28 (ten years ago)
Heard the 30s clip on Spotify. Oh dear. I'm saying that as someone who wanted it to be good.

Boy this is bad.
― BlackIronPrison, Thursday, 12 May 2016 20:30 (ten years ago)
I've seen a lot of people saying it sounds way more like the return of The Seahorses than The Stone Roses.
― Kitchen Person, Thursday, 12 May 2016 20:33 (ten years ago)
more like the current line-up of Hurricane #1 meets the cast of Jossie's Giants

though its not even fit to stand on their shoulder

its nothing like either

It's fucking horrible. Like a really really really weak Shack. Uergh.

It sounds like a pub rock version of Donovan basically

if Love Spreads was their Hash Pipe, then this must be Back To The Shack

― Odysseus, Thursday, 12 May 2016 20:53 (ten years ago)
It really does sound like The Bluetones, The Seahorses and Hurricane #1 though. It's not as if those bands all have really different styles. They mainly made music that sounded like a poor man's Stone Roses and that's exactly what All For One is.
― Kitchen Person, Thursday, 12 May 2016 20:54 (ten years ago)
KP where is that Shack album? postponed indefinitely it seems
