 Second Coming (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Second Coming was an album released on December 5, 1994 in the UK and early 1995 in the US by The Stone Roses.
The second album by the influential Manchester four-piece, it suffered greatly at the time from the sheer weight of expectation generated by both the 5½ year gap between it and the band's eponymous debut and the band's withdrawal from the live arena for 4½ of those years.
Twelve years on from the album's release, it is now generally accepted that the critical reception at the time was somewhat harsh, with many people regarding it as a classic alongside their debut.

 CD Baby: SECOND COMING: 13
Possessing the sweeping grandeur of the name Second Coming, there is no doubt that there had better be some serious music of substance to justify the moniker.
Even with little label support, Second Comings' debut went on to 'scan over 75,000 units from radio play in over 150 markets in the U.S., word of mouth, and the strength of their live shows.
This led to Second Coming being the featured band on the fighting DVD 'Bad Breed' released in 2002 & 2003 which is distributed in Blockbuster's, Hollywood Video and other major chains currently throughout the nation.

 Second Coming - The Stone Roses - Song Listings
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.
It might not be the long-awaited masterpiece it was rumored to be, but Second Coming is a fine sophomore effort.

 Amazon.co.uk: Second Coming: Music: Stone Roses   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
Nevertheless, some of Second Coming is quite good: "Breaking Into Heaven" is appealingly pompous, showing that the Roses at least had a handle on the nature of their own import, and better still, had the ability to pull it off.
Any album with the lyric "Love Spreads her arms, waits there for the nails, I forgive you boy, I will prevail." Is gonna be worth buying, when you remember that God(Jesus) is "Love" the whole song becomes clear.
If you give this album a few listens it will be clear the TIME that has gone into creating these songs, the numerous guitar solos played on top of each other, the multi-layered vocals, bands just don't seem to put this kind of effort in any more and I think it's a tragedy.

 Channel4.com - SlashMusic - Second Coming
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.
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.
Which, no doubt, is the exact route a lot of hard-rock devotees think any second coming should follow.

 THE SIGN: The Second Coming
Their first album, “Signs Of Life” (2000) caused something of a stir in the world of melodic rock/AOR and was generally received as one of the best CD’s of the year.
Contrary to “Signs Of Life”, this one really sounds like a concept album as well: the songs flow into one another, themes are repeated, there are a couple of short tracks that function as a bridge between songs and there are some instrumental intermezzos.
Like the first album, “The Second Coming” is mostly pomp rock/AOR, with a slight progressive twist, comparable to Kansas in their Steve Morse days.

 DVD Review - Kiss: The Second Coming   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
"The Second Coming" is the title of an over 2-hour long documentary that was produced by Kiss Manager Doc McGhee and covers the entire career of the band, mostly focussing on the resurrection of the band’s original line-up in 1995 and the consecutive world tour.
We learn how the band lives the dream of being "Kiss", and for the the duration of this documentary we are allowed to really witness how it all comes together to create what has become the most illustrious band in the world.
The backstage footage is what makes "The Second Coming" so very special and combined with the spectacular footage of the band’s bombastic live shows, this is a Kiss document every fan has been dying for.

 The Music Box: Stone Roses - Second Coming (Album Review)
The long-awaited second album from the Stone Roses has finally arrived, and it was well worth the wait.
Unlike its last outing, Second Coming is driven more by rhythms, and as a result, the band's songs blossom into swirling, heady jams.
The album begins with the 11 minute Breaking into Heaven, which sets the tone for the entire disc, and after nearly five minutes of drums, the band kicks into a funky groove of psychedelic glory.

It doesn't deserve to be---"Second Coming" is an outstanding album that I, personally, like even *better* than the band's celebrated 1988 debut, though brilliant that album is. I guess this makes me a "twisted" Stone Roses fan, but seriously, people, I LOVE this album.
But, in my opinion, "Second Coming" is even more superb, and it's also a very fond farewell to this groundbreaking, trailblazing British band.
While the first album boasted a hazy, psychedelic production that emphasized an aloof character, their album is much more down to earth.

This CD includes all the material from the subsequent "They're Coming To Take Me Away" album, plus three tracks from his unreleased second album, the 1990 sequel to his hit, and four newly recorded songs.
The three tracks from his second album are very ambitious and well produced, but they aren't actually all that funny.
Samuels apparently feels that "The Explorer" from that album is the greatest thing he ever recorded, but I have to respectfully disagree.

 The Very Best of the Stone Roses
A bit of melodic rush (“She Bangs the Drums”), a bit of cool detachment (“I Wanna Be Adored”), and a bit of muso virtuosity (“I Am the Resurrection”), the Stone Roses released the perfect rock album: music, attitude, and atmosphere combined in a neat little package.
“Ten Storey Love Song,” the one Second Coming track that would fit seamlessly on the debut, falls between “Drums” and “Waterfall.” The Zep-lite “Love Spreads” is nestled between the understated “Made of Stone” and the bouncy “What the World is Waiting For.” Second, the remastered record was “overseen” by debut producer John Leckie.
Finally, the greatest feat of the record is that it convinces the listener that the classic rock virtuosity of Second Coming did not sneak up on us as we might have thought.

But ‘Second Coming’ throws all such expectations to the wind with an irreverent air of true rock rebellion.
Though released on the wrong side of the ’80s, stylistically speaking, ‘The Second Coming’ was a highly successful album as far as sales and publicity is concerned.
For all its lyrical deficiencies, the album’s music is top-notch, alluding to that glorious time when hair was big, leather was in, and rock ’n’ roll was slick and glamorous.

 The Stone Roses - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Second Coming is a mix of 1970s hard rock, folk rock ("Your Star Will Shine", "Tightrope") and techno ("Begging You"), with "Ten Storey Love Song" the closest to Byrds-tinged songs such as "Sally Cinnamon".
The May 1968 student riots in Paris are said to have provided some inspiration for their first album, with the colours of the French flag shown sideways on the cover, and with lemons alongside placed upon Squire's Jackson Pollock-type painting (lemons had been used to counteract the effects of tear gas during the riots).
In 2006, NME voted their debut album the #1 British album of all time, narrowly beating The Smiths' The Queen Is Dead and Oasis's Definitely Maybe.

The CD gets off to a rather clichéd and unimpressive start with "Sexdrugsrockn'roll," but when Messiah tears into "Trouble," "Heartbreak Blvd," and "Can't Fool Me" -- which are among the foursome's best and most focused songs -- listeners will be glad to have heard Second Coming.
Though the album falls short of being a gem and won't win any awards for innovation, it's a respectable effort from a band who deserved more attention than they received.
For headbangers who've never heard Messiah, this decent album would be the best starting point.

Simple in design, practical in application, the new website promoting "Second Coming" can now be accessed through the T-Bone Thugs main page (www.lbkarecords.com) by clicking on the DB logo.
It is, suffice to say, a much more polished and professional album than its predecessor "Tha Revolution." A wide variety of topics are discussed through the ever-increasing vocal talents of Danny-B. The album kicks off with "Divided We Stand," a biting, sarcastic look behind the politics of the 2004 Presidential Election.
The five-track EP is the precursor to Danny-B's sophomore release "Second Coming." The EP features three of the rapper's new singles, while offering his listeners the first glimpse of two previously unreleased instrumentals.
