HMV Review

There's no denying that Second Coming is a bit of a letdown. None of the songs are quite as strong as the best on their debut, but there is plenty of good music on the band's much-delayed second record. The Stone Roses create a dense tapestry of interweaving guitars and pulsing bass grooves. Ian Brown growls a little more than before, but he isn't the center of the music; John Squire's endlessly colorful riffs are. It's clear that Squire has been listening to a bit of hard rock, particularly Led Zeppelin. While the songs occasionally take a back seat to the grooves, several tracks -- Ten Storey Love Song, Begging You, Tightrope, How Do You Sleep, and Love Spreads -- rank as true classics. It might not be the long-awaited masterpiece it was rumored to be, but Second Coming is a fine sophomore effort. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

'94年発表｡陶酔的で楽観に満ちたひとつの時代の幕開けを告げる､まさにｴﾎﾟｯｸ･ﾒｲｷﾝｸﾞだったﾃﾞﾋﾞｭｰ作から5年8ヵ月｡考えすぎなのか､やりすぎなのか､たんにﾉﾛいだけなのかは知らないが､ﾛｰｾﾞｽはそれだけのものを作った｡例えばﾋﾞｰﾄﾙｽﾞが『ﾐｰﾄ･ｻﾞ･ﾋﾞｰﾄﾙｽﾞ』の次に『ｻｰｼﾞｪﾝﾄ･ﾍﾟﾊﾟｰｽﾞ』を出してしまうような､本来ならば数枚の作品を経て至るべき変化がここにはある｡そういう変化のしかたが理想的だとはとても思えないが､新しい極限に向かって､一切の曖昧さを捨て､ﾊﾞﾝﾄﾞが一丸となって突き進むような潔さには感動を覚えずにはいられない｡このｽｸﾗﾑで長い歳月を乗り越えたのだ｡よく頑張ったじゃないか､と｡ｼﾞｬﾝﾙ上は前作と同じﾒﾛﾃﾞｨｱｽなﾀﾞﾝｽ･ﾛｯｸということになるのかもしれないが､ｻｳﾝﾄﾞの質感としてはむしろ前傾姿勢のｷﾞﾀｰ･ﾊﾞﾝﾄﾞというﾆｭｱﾝｽが強い｡当時のふｰちゃかしたﾉﾘ､ｽｶｽｶした空気はどこへやらで､すべてが別次元の熱気の中に突っ込んでしまった感じ｡ぐっと安定したｲｱﾝ･ﾌﾞﾗｳﾝのﾎﾞｰｶﾙを含めてすべてのﾊﾟｰﾄが重く､激しくなって､ﾊﾞﾝﾄﾞの発するうねりの大きさが段違いなのだ｡音の密度が高くなって､ﾀﾞﾝｽ･ｸﾞﾙｰｳﾞが濃厚化｡空気からしてﾑﾝﾑﾝと熱とﾃﾝｼｮﾝを孕んでいるかに思える｡もちろん前作を輝かせていた青臭い､危うげな美しさは望むべくもない｡でも､このわざとらしさのないひたむきな情熱の投入ぶりには引き込まれる｡彼らが90年代にどういう意味を持つのかは知らないが､今なお愛すべきﾊﾞﾝﾄﾞであると思う｡

ジョンのギターフレーズに痺れっぱなし、特に②④⑨⑫は存分に弾きまくり、神懸かってる。全体的な音も骨太になり、前作より断然こっち。

１stはマスコミが祭り上げた感じが強く、個人的には断然こちら。とにかくジョンのギターは圧巻。
