Beady Eye (Liam Gallagher)

[djparky]

I saw the video with the go-go girls in it and was rather bored with the song- it wasn't terrible, but just Liam trying to be Rolling Stones. I always thought that Noel was the real talent in that band- much more interested in what he does in the future

 

[Jive Turkey]

Mmmm, I'm not hearing that so much I gotta be honest.

It's really just one part that sounds similar. Around 1:14

Is that your acknowledgement that Definitley Maybe and Whats the Story Morning Glory are the 2 best albums ever made?

I think so.

No, it's my acknowledgment that they made a couple worthwhile albums before they started being consistently awful.

Ha, I watched a motorcycle stunt show in that at Glastonbury last year

at least all these songs are consistent. consistently terrible attempts at re-writing revolver, but at least they're all bad. 100% shit is a good thing because then i know i'll be avoiding it completely rather than buying something for its one good song only to be sorely disappointed later.

0:56 - intro to "good day sunshine" kind of made me want too sacrifice a john lennon impersonator to the rock n roll gods.

 

[Danny Boy]

Just listened to Four Letter Word on NME. I like it a little more than the first two tracks they released, but the lyrics still get too repetitive toward the end, and I can't shake the feeling that I'm listening to a sped-up version of Champagne Supernova.

 

[djparky]

predicatbly Q Magazine gives the album a glowing review- have heard The Roller- it's basically Instant Karma with different lyrics

the album is pretty damn amazing

9.5/10

 

[LemonMelon]

If this album doesn't manage a perfect 10 from you, I've lost all hope for it.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I heard one of the album tracks yesterday. Despite the meh lyrics, it was a very good song. The song was Morning Son, IIRC.

 

[MadForIt]

Millionaire is great
and Kill for a Dream

A great effort from the lads

 

[Vlad n U 2]

For Liam Gallagher, I'd say this greatly exceeds expectations. And when pitted against its competitors, it's very decent.

Old Liam is getting some fairly positive reviews here in the UK. Most of them note how surprised they are to be giving him approval.

 

[Dalton]

Just listened to the album. It's not terrible. 5.5 (maybe 6) out of 10.

 

[Danny Boy]

Does anyone remember XTC's side project, The Dukes of Stratosphere: Chips from the Chocolate Fireball?

That's what this album reminds me of. Fun, hooky pop songs that don't take themselves too seriously. At that level, this is an enjoyable album.

It also makes Liam's criticism of KOL that much more ridiculous. It wasn't like he was going for the more cerebral and challenging album here.

That's high praise. Those albums contain some of my favorite neo-psychedelia. Somehow, I doubt these songs are as intricate and clever as theirs though. Hope to hear it later.

 

[super fly guy]

I think it a very good album,I can hear some Beatles and some stones and even a bit of the who in there!

 

[Dalton]

Huh. I didn't hear the Beatles in there at all.

 

[iron yuppie]

Huh. I didn't hear the Beatles in there at all.

Yeah, especially not in "Beatles & Stones."

 

[super fly guy]

Yeah, especially not in "Beatles & Stones."

The bass in that is my generation aswell!

 

[LemonMelon]

Yeah, especially not in "Beatles & Stones."

Hahahahaha is that a real song title?

This is proof that Noel was the only person in Oasis with a modicum of shame.
