Feb 5, 2019Is it any surprise that the best songs on this album are the ones that sound the most like Stone Roses tunes? Nope. Any surprise that the rest is indulgent, self-played and -produced stuff that any Roses tribute band could play in their sleep with half the members missing? Nope. Ever get the feeling you've been cheated? Not here - it's exactly as expected, unfortunately.

Feb 6, 2019Nothing really jumps out, and Ian Brown’s seventh album still feels weirdly unrewarding, the artist playing a contented father rather than raging at the current state of the world. That is fair enough of course, but for an artist as established and inspirational as Ian Brown has been over the decades, we surely deserve waves rather than ripples.

Q MagazineFeb 4, 2019It's not the third coming many Stone Roses fans may have hoped for, but Ripples marks the welcome return of a solo artist who never rested on his laurels or allowed himself to be overshadowed by past glories. [Mar 2019, p.110]
