We could be the biggest band of all time': The fall of the Stone Roses, the group tipped to be the new Beatles
Briefly

Ian Brown confidently declared in an interview, "We're the most important group in the world, because we've got the best songs... we haven't even begun to show our potential yet." This captures the band's fervent belief in their music and their potential to influence the future of rock.
Music critic Marcos Gendre referred to the band's second album, "Second Coming," as "one of the most insufferable albums... a total and absolute verbalization of their detachment from the muses of inspiration is incomprehensible." This statement reflects the disappointment felt by critics regarding the band's shift in musical direction.
Jorge Albi expressed a similar sentiment, stating, "If it had not taken so long and they had made more glorious songs... they could have achieved something more, but what they did on this album was a bit of a bore." This highlights the expectations that were dashed with their second album release.
The article notes, "...the so-called Madchester sound they had pioneered no longer interested anyone," underscoring the band's rapid decline in relevance in the changing music landscape.
