Ah yes - should've checked the thread! I think it's a very conscious steal ...

fookin shite doesn't even describe this.

People who think this is good; are they lying, deluded, or do they genuinely believe?

I'm going to have to listen to this aren't I?

it's worth listening to just to feel safely sure that it is shite. there is no confusion, it's almost satisfying. that was shite. one listen. then you're done.

It did seem i'd have to buy the d/l to hear it, then someone said it's on Spotify, so that's a quid (or whatever) saved.

Sounds like a demo. It's an outrageous rip off of that Fall song, and the Fall song wasn't any good either. Also I kept being reminded of the band Tomorrow, but as I am going to make strenuous efforts never to hear it again, I cannot investigate the comparison further.

In my mother's Irish accent this wondrous event could be described as "a turd coming".

:D

It's not THAT bad. It's just not that great either.

Turns out John did have *some* desire to desecrate that grave after all ...

also, the other thing I realized: the lyrics are bad, but when I think about them in context, as a commentary on the band itself and where they are in this moment in time, they make more sense-- especially as a lead single. still not good, mind you, but a bit more understandable.

his first solo album was called "Time Changes Everything", so perhaps not a complete shock.

this ain't no Beady Eye

what a fuckin turd

It's not THAT bad. It's just not that great either.

yeah pretty much. it's so harmless I dunno why everyone is falling over themselves to destroy it.

on the other hand. it kinda sucks.

I have no idea why people are falling over themselves to be disappointed by this inconsequential song from a band who have always quietly gone about their business with no attending hype or mythology

Aside from "I Wanna Be Adored", this band is some of the biggest bullshit

it is that bad.

I'm not disappointed, I fully expected it to be shit. If anything, I'm quietly pleased that it is.

Actually, they have never been the band that gave owt for nowt. If this had been a free download and a "We're Back" type thing, then fine. But I more or less remember them being barely in their own videos, "Love Spreads" was invested by din't of being issued with a large fanfare and nothing else, and as for "Spike Island" why not set up stall some place impossible to get to and charge how much?

None of those things on their own are bad, just..

Aside from "I Wanna Be Adored", this band is some of the biggest bullshit

I also like "She Bangs the Drum", "Waterfall" and "Fools Gold".

Just seen (by me, anyway), this is coming out on 7" and CD single. (1st July)

B-sides? It doesn't say, but I expect nowt.

xpost I do like those three, never fussed about "adored"

I'm not disappointed, I fully expected it to be shit. If anything, I'm quietly pleased that it is.

i wasn't even going to listen to it but this pleasure you mention is what drew me towards it. it is fitting and right that this is terrible. a good bookend.

One for all and all for one
Muskerhounds are always ready

I'm seeing how long I can go without hearing this tbh

Don't worry, even if you do, you'll never think of it again.

I wonder if anyone has played this for the Trump campaign yet

I think the main problem with it is that it's Stone Roses in 'classic rock' mode, and not sure why anyone would want that. John Squire seems to be set against absolutely everything that made them briefly interesting in the late 90s. If you want to launch a comeback without offering either what you originally brought to the table or something new, then why even bother?

late 80s sorry, typo

Since when did ripping off a Fall b-side constitute an attempt at classic rock?

it lacks the groove and the funk which they brought to rock music

lol

It sounds nothing like a fall b-side, what? I mean same problem they had since Love Spreads, John Squire playing stale licks like it's 1974, no groove whatsoever.

The Fall song in question has been posted twice already on this thread.

Ah. Can't listen to YouTube links right now. Still, different problem.

Based on what I've observed over time, I think Brits view this band far differently than Americans and have a much bigger hurdle to jump over in terms of being able to listen them without an instinctual sense of contempt and disapproval. Over here in the US, we don't have all this baggy pants and media hype baggage to deal with, and we can hear them without all the attendant bullshit that came with their ascent. That's how I'm making sense of the out-of-scale hatred of this new song.

yes very otm

listened to it once on my phone and I thought it was fine if a bit repetitive. Of all of them, Ian Brown sounded the best.

there is the hype surround the band but, for me, there is also the fact that the self-titled album and a few songs either side of it are legitimately great and this is garbage

I don't think that we as Americans have been so isolated from the world that we can't identify plodding nonsense when we hear it.
