The Stone Roses - Discography 1987-2016 -flac- Updated (2025)

| Track | Title | FLAC Observation | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1 | I Wanna Be Adored | Listen for the 45-second bass drone before the band kicks in. The decay is infinite. | | 2 | She Bangs the Drums | The tambourine and snare hit simultaneously. MP3 blurs the transient; FLAC separates them. | | 3 | Waterfall | Acoustic guitar harmonics. Requires 44.1kHz/16bit minimum. | | 4 | Don’t Stop | A backwards recording of "Waterfall." FLAC preserves the reversed cymbal effects perfectly. | | 8 | Fool’s Gold (2020 Remaster) | The 9:53 version. The hi-hat pattern is complex. |
