Yeah, you’re exactly right. After seeing them though the song that stuck in my head was Love Spreads Around

Yes, it is under appreciated. It's really a John Squire album, I think. The first Ian Brown solo album (1998) would have been kool with Squire and that perhaps would have been the real second Roses album. However, Second Coming is solid and has great songs
