Liam Gallagher - As you were

[OB1]

I must be the only one that really likes China town

I'll put in a few words in defence of Chinatown. The chorus has a lovely, almost haunting, melody and there's some pleasant guitar work that reminds me of Simon & Garfunkel. The lyrics in the verses are the songs problem: rhyming nonsense that nuzzle up against the cringe button. I don't mind nonsense lyrics, T.Rex were my first musical love, but they have to be nonsense with style.

I didn't realise how bad the music industry was in until I read that this album is course to sell 100k copies by Friday, that's meant to huge in this age of music. It's sold more copies than the rest of the top 20 combined, 79k while darkness are in 2nd place selling 4k copies as of yesterday.

For me it's a huge upgrade from the Beady Eye-one.

He had a q&a on Reddit yesterday for anyone who's interested

 

[Ban-jani]

Noel's latest song this week is a big pile of shit too!

Liam is the man of the moment!

 

[Oohvonkyvonky]

For what its worth, I think its great!

 

[allan harper]

I've all I need is a tune, he likes pissing his brother off, he should release this as his 5th single, we know Noel's views on no more than 4 singles on an album.

After listening to the album since Friday I can say it’s a great album an 8.5/10 there are at least 6 songs on there that a truly great.

Wow. Truly great? Music certainly is subjective as another poster has said.

Listened to it 4 times now and there’s only 1 song that I’ve added to my play list. Wife really likes it though so I imagine I’ll be attending a gig of his at some point.

In the meantime I’ll be dragging her to see Sleaford Mods next weekend for an evening of drinking red stripe and listening to a middle aged bloke rant.

 

[PistonBlue]

It’s ok, nothing more than that imo. I want to like it, I just find it a bit forgettable. Sorry.

 

[SuperKevinHorlock]

7/10 for me a couple of decent tracks but no masterpiece imo.

 

[Innsbruckblue]

Just listened to it and pleasantly surprised. Couple of great tunes, the rest not bad. He seems to have got his voice back, as well. Could be a grower.

How many tunes on the album did liam write?

On the standard version of the album he wrote 6 out of 12 and co-wrote 4 more. Of the 3 extra tracks on the deluxe edition, he wrote 2 and co-wrote the other so out of 15 songs there are only 2 that he didn’t have a hand in writing.

More than Elvis did his whole career

 

[jay_mcfc]

Listening to it on a daily basis and love it even more! For What It's Worth has really grown on me and now my favourite. As you were x

 

[dublinblue12]

Its much better than anticipated (which wasn't much)

 

[M18CTID]

More than Elvis did his whole career

Ha ha - that's exactly what I was thinking when I saw the question being asked!

 

[Dave S]

More than Elvis did his whole career

What's that got to do with it? If he ever got anywhere near the heights elvis did he'd be a very happy man. But there's not a fucking cat in hells chance of that ever happening for obvious reasons.
