It's not perfect, but it's VERY close
As all the five star reviews will tell you, this is quite an amazing CD. If you like jangly guitar pop rock, not the frustratingly simple pop rock of today but one that have layers of sound on it. You will love this album. There isn't a lot to complain about this album, it has very catchy guitar, well timed rhythm section and absolutely amazing vocal. There is one track you want to skip on this CD, and that's Don't Stop(and please skip?). The rest of the songs are masterpieces.

Mindblowing and Mancunian
A seminal album that laid the foundation for the later Manchester bands , like Oasis, that ultimately shaped the Britpop movement. This album still sounds as fresh and interesting in 2008 as it did in 1989. If only they would remaster it......

i wanna be adored
i fell in love listening to i wanna be adored.
completly beautiful.
listen and love.

classic album
I love this album, recently purchased it like 2 months back and this cd is always in rotation in my car, theres one song i usually skip over and its the reversed track of "Dont Stop" not even that its a bad song but not really in the mood when im driving usually to hear it, other than that all these songs i love. I can definelty hear the influence of these guys on all the brit pop bands to come after them especially in The Verve and Oasis..

Excelent album recomend to anyone who likes genuinely good pop rock music

Historic and essential
I grew up with this album in the heady days of the BritPop invasion. It's intertwined with my memories and always will be. Regardless of my sentimental attachment, this album is brilliant, and I've returned to it over and over again through the years, even as I have become an old geezer. Musically organic, totally stretched out, driving bass and drums, inspired guitar work; there won't be another one like this ever, no matter how many have tried to imitate it over the years. Remember how Shaun of the Dead wanted to verify that it was not this, the FIRST Stone Roses album, which was to be thrown at the zombies? Yes there is a reason he wanted to check. Even if you are threatened with flesh eating ghouls, this one is a keeper. My own highest recommendation.
