{"product_id":"second-coming","title":"Second Coming","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe title is a joking reference to the messianic anticipation that built up in the years between the band's 1989 self-titled debut (which the NME ranked as the greatest album of the '80s) and this 1995 follow-up. It's also a description of the Stone Roses sound, a sort of second coming of '60s and '70s blues-rock, re-born with a funk beat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBack in '89 it sounded like a revolution, and it was: crossing \u003cstrong\u003eLed Zeppelin\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eBob Dylan\u003c\/strong\u003e with club music, it helped set the template for all British alternative rock to follow, from \u003cstrong\u003eBlur\u003c\/strong\u003e to the revamped \u003cstrong\u003eU2\u003c\/strong\u003e. Second Coming consolidates that sound with a see-sawing mix of hard-rock driving songs - with chunky electric guitar riffs and big beats - and acoustic anthems that immediately sound like they've been on the radio for a dozen years or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Ten Storey Love Song\"\u003c\/em\u003e, a devotional ballad with a Dylan-esque melody, and \u003cem\u003e\"Your Star Will Shine,\"\u003c\/em\u003e a psychedelic folk ditty that would have fit on an early \u003cstrong\u003eBee Gees\u003c\/strong\u003e album. \u003cem\u003e\"Good Times\"\u003c\/em\u003e is one of the big-beat numbers, and although it starts out sounding like a very blue \u003cstrong\u003eEric Burdon\u003c\/strong\u003e, it builds into a classic shouted-out blues-rock chorus, the kind on which FM radio thrived in the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Tears\"\u003c\/em\u003e follows a Zeppelin-esque arc from acoustic to electric folk, which, no doubt, is the exact route a lot of hard-rock devotees think any Second Coming should follow.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Geffen","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50465563541835,"sku":"354151","price":42.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50465563574603,"sku":"1027314","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Second_Coming_f5c3d871_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727292315","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/second-coming","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
