John Squire: Your views

Squire found fame with the Stone Roses

John Squire is best known as lead guitarist with The Stone Roses but now he hopes to establish himself as a solo artist.

Squire sings lead vocals on Time Changes Everything - having looked for a different singer, none were quite right and he ended up working alone.

"The post-whine Bob Dylan influence is there for all to hear - and remains omnipresent throughout this impressive solo debut," says BBC News Online's Chris Charles.

But what do you think?

Is it a work of genius? Or will this effort go the same way as The Seahorses?

Not a work of genius but a firm comeback after a few years in the wilderness. I can only hope John doesnt wait another 5 years before he turns his next album out. His voice takes time to get used to but after a while settles in. Its certainly different from all his other music displays. 7 out of 10

While it is impossible to achieve the level of greatness attained by the 1989 eponymous debut, Squire's latest is a return to melodic, sincere guitar music. Living in a world saturated with hip-hop hardcore wannabes, teenage treacle, and third rate heavy metal bands, we should all be grateful for Squire's return. "What the world's been waiting for," however, is reteaming with Brown.
