It is definitely NOT better than Noel's album. but you have basically the same dreadfully square taste in music as eddie. in fact possibly worse. Noel's album has zero things of interest on it (and is probably the squarest album ever made my anyone, ever. Bros took more risks in their career than noel ever has), BE has 'flick of the finger' and 'start anew' |

given it a couple more listens now and would pretty much agree with my first appraisal, only without the contact high. flick of the finger sticks out like a sore thumb because it's drastically better than anything else on the record, but i genuinely don't think any of the other songs are dreadful and some could've been pretty great with different lyrics. second bite of the apple especially leaps to mind there. which leads me back to my biggest complaint. the lyrics really, really hurt this album. at best they're boring and at worst they're outright fucking embarrassing. they take at least a point, often two, off every single song barring FOTF. at the absolute nadir, they take a song like second bite which is otherwise excellent and try really hard to ruin it completely with some of the worst verses ever conceived. it's still great if i ignore the words, but it's a bit like being served a steak with a big pile of shit on the side. still though, i did enjoy the record and would give it a 6/10 or so. i don't think i'll be revisiting it much but would put that down to my general apathy towards guitary music these days as much as anything. hahahahahaha  |

Just done some research on Dan Lucas, the man behind that hatchet job of a review, he loves cricket, drinks wine (doubt he means Buckfast, which is the only wine worth drinking) and is a cyclist. Add those up and it's probably fair to say there is a good chance he's a paedophile as well.

www.nme.com/news/oasis/70681#3Christ, the album's not even out yet and he's looking for an exit strategy. That can't be a good sign. (Or a good sign if, like me, you never got to see them do 'up in the sky' live.)

I'l tell you what's really pathetic: people criticising this record and in the same breath wanting Oasis to reform. Beady Eye aren't Oasis. Get over it.
BE is a decent album with a few rank tracks but there's a few genuinely excellent ones as well. Flick of the Finger for example shits on anything either of the Gallaghers have done since 2000. BE sounds fresh (by Gallagher standards) and comes from a 'new' band who seem to be re-energised and are enjoying themselves, who get out and tour decent venues, who seem upbeat in interviews and put records out regularly. Compare that with the latter days of Oasis - a record every 4 years or whatever and awful, soulless gigs in shitey stadiums, coupled with endless, self-obsessed interviews with Noel about how bored he was and how he could have done this that and other if only he didn't have millions of fans paying £60 a ticket for his rank shows. Oasis were fucking awful by the time they finally quit. Plus Beady Eye live are twice the band Oasis were in 2008. What's there to miss? Enjoy BE for what it is, slate it if you want but STFU about Oasis. They split four years ago. Move on.

(Or a good sign if, like me, you never got to see them do 'up in the sky' live.) He's been asked that question in every interview he's done for the past 4 years and the answer is always generally the same. Even there he says they probably won't get back together. It's hardly an exit strategy. |

I'm not getting the hatred for Face the Crowd (or at least not yet); to me it seems no more banal than something like Beatles and Stones. The arrangement probably saves it, and Sharrock plays a blinder on it - as he does throughout the record.
I've listened to BE three times now and I don't love it, but it has its moments. It's exactly as "far out" (i.e. not very) as I'd expected it to be, but it's the lyrics which really let it down. Some of them sound offensively half-arsed, or - even worse - the kind of thing which they'd expect an Oasis fan to like. At times it's like listening to a G-Star clad lad rock outfit trying to add swagger to the music. Flick of the Finger is the one noteable exception.
It's almost tempting to give this the standard difficult second album tag. Different Gear Still Speeding was clearly made up of a lot of Oasis cast-offs, but in places this feels rushed, if not poorly thought through.
I'll be interested to know what I think of this record in 3 months' time.
