I've never been able to understand why this band are so incredibly popular.

Awful. A dirge, like all their other stuff IMO.

But I am a bit of an old fart in my musical tastes.

If that's Reni playing drums on the new song I'll eat my chorus pedal.

I know what you mean - I'm fine with the riff and the vocals and simple lyrics, but it sounds like the rhythm section from a different band - not very Stone Roses at all :(

The biggest attraction of the Stone Roses for me was their sense of groove, which is totally missing from the new song.

Because when they are good they are brilliant, but when they are bad they are terrible. They've written some fantastic tunes that captured the zeitgeist of a particular time.

I liked it. But I liked Second Coming more than their debut... *ducks*

I think they are both great albums, just from two different bands.

I actually ended band rehearsals early for the lads to get in my car and whack on the radio loud whilst driving for a few pints (I didn't drive back before you ask!).

I like it. The best parts for me are the Squire guitar parts (on form as usual) and the pre-chorus.

It has clearly been written for their upcoming gigs to have a new anthem, and fair play.

I absolutely understand why people don't like bands or styles, but for me the Roses are more than just a band, it's a whole movement of music. Why are they so popular? Because so many bands keep referencing them as major influences.

I've only lived in Manchester for a year now, but I've realised I should have been here ages ago.

Dull... or, rather, the whole thing has been done to death since they called it a day. Disappointing but I didn't expect much else.

Ian Brown has always been an end of a bell too, if you know what I mean.

I was a student in Manc for most of 1990 - 1995, and of that whole "Madchester" scene they had some of the more interesting/proggy output. Unlike this.

A mate of mine mentioned The Seahorses the other day, so walking home today I put it on for the first time in absolute years. Most of the songs on there, frankly, are better than the new Roses tune.

Chris Helme works in Gear4Music now, he sold me a DOD Meatbox the other day.
