The Stone Roses eponymous debut is the sound of a band that knows it is the best in the world before anyone else has realized it. It is an album defined by a rare, shimmering arrogance: a combination of Ian Brown's coolly detached, breathy vocals and the most formidable rhythm section of the era. The music feels like a bridge between the past and the future, taking the melodic DNA of 1960s jangle-pop and injecting it with the rhythmic complexity of the late-80s acid house scene. It is music for the transition from the club to the street, capturing the hazy, golden-hour glow of a Manchester sunrise.
