Without a doubt the most interesting album so far and probably a stable for the future. Songs I can get lost in, like Diaraby.
Ry Cooder is a cool guy.

Beautiful music! "How Blue Can You Get?" is my personal favorite.
My only point of criticism is, that the lyrics haven't aged greatly, but I think that's forgivable considering the time of it's release.

very long and pretty uneventful, but good pop music

Not bad, but pretty boring.
One and Until the End of the World are good songs though.

VERY GOOD. I fucking love The Beatles

Relatively uneventful, but it’s kinda hilarious, that every british band seems to have at least one song, that is so very clearly inspired by the Beatles. This time it’s "Wednesday Week". Probably the best song on the record, for that matter.

I'll admit, that I've never heard of The Stone Roses before today, which makes it a first in this pretty fresh project of mine. My first impression wasn't to great, as "I Wanna Be Adored" bored me pretty immediately and reminded me of a less creative version of 10cc's "I'm Not in Love", but from the song "(Song for My) Sugar Spun Sister", I was pretty hooked. The following songs "Made of Stone" and "Shoot you Down" were also of my liking, while I didn't really care for the "This Is the One".
"I Am the Ressurection" and "Fools Gold“ are very strong closers.
Overall an interesting album, that is a little too reminiscent of 10cc, the Beach Boys and especially the Beatles, but generally enjoyable, with some cool ideas.

Prince is an absolutely fascinating artist. There are more ideas in some of his songs, than on entire records by others. That can be overwhelming at times, but is mostly just impressive.
My only criticism is, that this album here is too long and the incredible ~50 minutes in there are watered down by some more forgettable songs, e.g. "It’s Gonna Be a Beautiful Night". Those songs aren’t even bad at all, but just a weirdly benign distraction of the moments that let you live in the genius that was Prince.

Pure power & ecstasy.

What a great album, would hate, if they made a cringy hollywood movie about the creation process.

Not a big Blur (or Britpop) guy, but Parkife, Badhead, To the End, Magical America (great chorus!) and This Is a Low are great songs. Besides that the album mostly swings between annoying and irrelevant.

Really cool, although I don’t love the title track. Not the greatest Bowie, but it’s still Bowie.
