Album Notes & Community Reviews

Despite its somewhat confusing title, this is not a compilation, but rather the highly anticipated sophomore solo album from the former Stone Roses frontman[cite: 1]. 'Golden Greats' expertly fuses his distinctive, swaggering vocal style with densely layered electronic production, driving alternative dance rhythms, and deep, psychedelic grooves[cite: 1].
