Single File: The Stone Roses - "All for One"
5 MEDIOCRE
Well, this might be the most indifferent I've ever felt about a comeback single. After 22 years, one of Britain's most lauded bands finally returns with... a song? A song with a chorus, and all the musical instruments playing notes in proper places, and a beginning and end. Yes, this is most definitely a song. A song that I would never in 22,000 years rank over the singles from their two studio albums, but All for One is 100% certifiably a song. What am I supposed to say? After two decades plus away it's nice they're back but the tune is lazy, uninspired and doesn't accomplish anything in terms of the Stone Roses' legacy positive or negative? That it's just kind of there? Okay, so I said it; in summary, All for One is a song that is there.
