Why does every thread in the Beady Eye section have to come down to how much Noel is better than Liam? I guess you didn't read the Pitchfork review. My comments are related to what they wrote. Sorry mate, was just feeling grumpy. Ignore me.

"critical" - fucking bullshit. They hype shit artists based off of an image and public perceptions. More than anywhere else, the exact same album on pitchfork would get vastly different scores if they had come from different bands, depending on their "stock market impression" of what their hipster following will like in the next few months. Pitchfork can go fuck themselves. Pitchfork loves to help make a band, then destroy it once they get "popular" in the indie community. Sure they have their sweethearts (Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Kanye) but they can get very pretentious. Same could be said about practically any music publication.

A venezuelan mag review(translated by me).
Liam wants to be a Beatle.
The second record of the band lead by Liam Gallagher has recived good reviews and others like the spanish Rolling Stone where they rip it off. However, everything seems to be about wheter they like or dislike the persona of the lead singer. It is true that sounds like Oasis, that has a glimpse of Lennon and The Beatles, but what can you expect when you have most of Oasis in this band? Also that it sounds very Britpop, So what?
But the most pointless critique is the one that they made about Liam's voice, it's too clean now, that doesn't sounds like the ol' good days. The truth it's that is a good rock 'n roll album, with a foundation in the guitars, more bets on melody and the slow and mid tempo tracks, however this album might be a hinge to the door that could give us something even better.
BE. Beady Eye. Columbia 2013

From a Hungarian magazine, Recorder.
BEADY EYE: BE Score: 7/10 Key track: Start Anew
The really interesting thing is not what became of Oasis – so far a good but not great Noel solo album and a forgettable retro debut album of Beady Eye -, but how the members start to build up a new career. The second album of Liam and his mates is certainly showing a building process: BE is a clear step forward compared to Beady Eye's debut. It's a very enjoyable, ballsy album with one of the best rock voices on it. Beady Eye is working even more like a democratic band, Sitek's producing touches (horns, tempo changes, spacing out the tracks, psychedelic flavors) improved the album and there is more experiencing going on. Beady Eye have the direction, but to make a truly memorable album, they will need even better songs.

I guess it's quite spot on.

reviwed yesterday... www.nowtoronto.com/music/story.cfm?content=193482Beady Eye BE (Columbia) By Julia LeConte NOW RATING: NNN For their sophomore album, Beady Eye – Liam Gallagher’s band of former Oasis members, sans Noel – enlisted the production chops of TV on the Radio member David Sitek, whose presence is felt from the off. Flick Of The Finger blasts with horns and an eerie passage from British-Pakistani writer Tariq Ali’s Street Fighting Years, setting the tone for an album that aims higher than the predictable rock of its predecessor. After that, it gets hard to distinguish one song from another, though Iz Rite and I’m Just Saying have enough riffy, retro spunk to be memorable. Sure, there are lots of Manc rock chants of “Come, on!” and pretty tunes like Start Anew disguise lyrical mediocrity. But the album definitely grows on repeat listens, with Don’t Brother Me scratching at what the Gallagher brothers’ most classic songs inspired in terms of emotional pillow-hugging, and a spacey instrumental conclusion that provides a nice finish to all the straightforwardness. Top track: Don’t Brother Me
