Reads like a 1 star or zero star review. “Everybody’s on the Run” is overblown with bellowed reverb vocals and meaninglessly epic strings, “Dream On” stomps by to the same old Beatles strum, Gallagher singing, “Oh me, oh my/I’m running out of battery”, and “The Death of You and Me” is a badly drawn caricature of Elliott Smith. Unvarying in tempo, stocked with exhortatory clichés (“Hang in there, got to hold on”) and lapses into self-doubt (“I’ll see you on the way down”), the album testifies to the bankruptcy of Gallagher’s song-writing."www.ft.com/cms/s/2/e928d95a-f474-11e0-bdea-00144feab49a.html#axzz1aqoMBL5p

This is why I dont have as much money in my account as I should have, I have been researching my stocks and shares in the NME.
What a load of bollocks that is. I am off to the newsagents to get fashion tips from 'Carp Monthly'.

I meet some people and find they have no music at all in their iPhones or usually Blackberries.
These are the kinds of people who read the economist or FT . They provide reviews for their readers who don't want to waste precious mega bytes inn mere music.

And yeah, that is a shit review. I bet the reviewer listens to Mozart all the time.

reader.enquiries@ft.com
I've emailed to tell them that they missed off the word "love" from the lyrics and ask them if they were drunk at the time they listened to the album
I'd definately say that there are some post be here now songs that are alot better than a few of the track on hfbs but as a whole this album is amazing and the best album I've heard since 1997.....don't see how it can get bad reviews
