Second Coming

by The Stone Roses

The 3738th greatest album of all time

Second Coming, released in 1994, is The Stone Roses' second studio album and represents a marked stylistic shift from the dance-inflected sound of their debut toward a heavier, guitar-driven approach rooted in blues rock, classic rock and neo-psychedelia. The record features longer, more expansive arrangements, prominent lead and slide guitar from John Squire, and a focus on riff-based songwriting and slow-burning grooves, with the single Love Spreads exemplifying that direction while still retaining elements of indie and funk rock.
