Album Notes & Community Reviews

Arriving after a five-year hiatus, 'Second Coming' finds The Stone Roses pivoting toward heavy, blues-inflected rock and psychedelic funk. The album is an incredibly eclectic pastiche of classic rock influences, balancing John Squire's energetic guitar heroics with a more lethargic, hedonistic alternative rock atmosphere.
