Liam Gallagher

[FloorFiller]

Doesn’t Have To Be That Way definitely should’ve made the album instead of being relegated to a bonus track imo. One of, if not the best faster paced tracks on there.

Thought this would be a ‘one listen and then forgotten about entirely’ kind of album for me tbh but I can see this getting a fair few listens from me (and then forgetting about it entirely).

More than pretty decent, my friend.

I know what you mean by the bonus tracks though. Especially, Doesn't Have To Be That Way, which is the possibly most anti-Gallagher track ever (until Noel's album comes out hopefully )

It has been worth the wait for me, anyway

Yeah, that one has to be my favorite so far. Also I Never Wanna Be Like You sounds like an album closer and has that great violin ending

Pitchforks review.

Aside from “Wall of Glass,” As You Were never convinces you of its reason to exist

Ouch!

[Nicklord]

Pitchfork got so boring in the last 10 years. You can literally guess what they are going to write without even listening to the album, just based on the name and reputation 

[FloorFiller]

Pitchfork have a weird things with big British acts who aren’t Radiohead in that they seem to underscore them constantly. This album is by no means a masterpiece but that scores pretty harsh, although as said above, if you know Pitchfork you could’ve seen it coming a mile off.

Laura Snapes is a Brit.  She used to write for the NME.

Clearly a Noel fan.

I thought he didn't souund great on Jools but he seems to be getting praise from all sides. I'll give the album a listen when it comes out but I'm not expecting my mind to be blown. I think Noel's forthcoming album will be more interesting.

Wall of Glass is massively better than that soul shit whatever it is.....and he get sing at all now.

Liam on Radio 2 now, just done Wall of Glass and it wasn't half bad.  Wasn't going to rush out and buy the album but heard a few tunes from it now and it seems pretty decent.

If by 'Modern Day' they mean 'Today' I'd say they're bang on. Although I haven't listened to The Rasmus' new one yet so it's all to play for.

"Another fan claimed that it was Liam’s best effort since leaving Oasis, and even better than Noel Gallagher‘s High Flying Birds."

If this Liam Gallagher disc is more pleasing than Wolf Parade’s latest, I’ll be pretty aghast.

Kelela album dropped today, fam.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

The Darkness have also chosen today to unveil their latest masterpiece. R Kid struggling to even make today's top ten.

Didn’t know that. Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith is due to be a goodie too.

[priest17]

He's beaten Kele Okereke I reckon, not sure I'm gonna make it to the end.

If there's anything on the Lialbum that rivals this then I'll be flabbergasted.

The original Galway Girl, only even better. Sensational stuff.

First listen.....

Starts off well - Wall of Glass is a good tune. Liked that from the first time I heard it. A proper Rock n Roll single.

Bold - definitely about Noel, mentions "chasing yesterday". Another tune I like... this album could be a good un.

Greedy Soul - Its alright, but trying to pack a punch that it just doesn't have. All mouth.

Paper Crown - I can't say I hate it. He has come a long way since little james, but its a poor Beatles B Side.

For What its Worth - Cheese, heard it a million times, I moan about this kind of tune a lot, but I sadly I can't say I don't like it. In fact, I really do.

When Im in need - Nah, not for me. Absolute filler.

You Better Run - Paint by numbers, old fashioned Rock n Roll. I like it. 

I get By - Filler, but from a vocal point of view, liams strongest tune so far. One to skip, but certainly not that bad. I expected this album to be a lot worse.

Chinatown - Feels out of place to me. I can't say Im the keen on this. Chorus is alright, but I feel its overly produced a bit of a "try hard".  

Come Back to Me - Primal Scream anyone? I like this. This is what he should be doing for me. 2nd best tune so far after Wall of Glass.

Universal Gleam - Another ballad. Another filler. Not keen.

Ive all I need - Filler... another Beatles reference in it. I think thats 3 or 4. He should stop with it. 

Doesnt have to be that way - I like it. Should have heard more of this kind of thing in the album.

All my people -  Meh. Not keen. 

I never want to be like you - Beatles in the extreme, but I like the lyrics. Will be seen as a pop at Noel. I like this. 

3/5 from me. High points, Wall of Glass - For What it's worth & Come Back to Me.

Low Points - When Im in Need & All my people
