  1. 10.0 |   Clash

    Effectively serving as a time capsule for generations of music fans to come, ‘The Stone Roses’ is the faultless example of a debut album presented in a lovingly crafted package with all the pomp and circumstance it deserves. You need this in your lives

  2. 10.0 |   Uncut

    The result, even after two decades of familiarity, remains gently awe-inspiring

  3. 10.0 |   Mojo

    Print edition only

  4. 10.0 |   Daily Telegraph

    The beauty of this mythological debut twenty years later is its light, almost feminine beauty.

  5. 10.0 |   Pitchfork

    The record industry has whipped itself into a frenzy of last-ditch, cash-grabbing CD reissues lately, but the original Stone Roses actually merited a sound overhaul. And the results are brilliant, further supporting the case for classic album status-- if support's needed.

  6. 9.0 |   No Ripcord

    Ditch those rose-tinted aviators and learn to love TSR as the great album it is. Just don’t call it the greatest.

  10. 8.0 |   The Times

    Songs such as Made of Stone and the anthemic This is the One are as thrilling as they were 20 years ago. Since then, little has changed: all that really matters about the Stone Roses is The Stone Roses

  11. 8.0 |   Rolling Stone

    A blast of magnificent arrogance, a fusion of Sixties-pop sparkle and the blown-mind drive of U.K. rave culture

  12. 2.0 |   The Quietus

    The Stone Roses might not have actually given us Oasis, Kasabian, The Libertines, every great shite hope since - but they gave us the template of fleeting brilliance and overwhelming mediocrity that's been more-than-enough for a whole generation of musicians now.
