ALBUM OF THE WEEK – BEADY EYE – DIFFERENT GEAR STILL SPEEDING

Beady Eye‘s debut album is not that good. It is good to hear Liam singing again, as he ahs a great voice and when not used as an imitation of John Lennon it is Unique and quite simply awesome, apart from that there is not much to recommend about this album.
At its best it is a poor pastiche of Oasis’s worst album’s, lyrically it is a mess, lyrics are not just random words joined together to form sentences, they must have meaning and be interesting.
At it’s worst it is a miserable attempt to sound like his former hero’s.
This album recently made NME’s top 25 of the first 4 months of the year, and they left out the brilliant soulful British Sea Power a record Liam could only dream of making.
Saying all that I would love to see them Live.

173 DAYS TO GO
A sensational album, The Foals second record is head and shoulders better than their first, this record sees them hit the big time, they must have been close to winning the Mercury.
Spanish Sahara simply the best tune of 2010, but hte rest of the record is simply awesome as well. I bet Liam Gallagher hates it.
