It's kind of weird that they'd choose someone who clearly dislikes the band to review the record. That's what I never trust about music reviews, that and they surely don't have the chance to listen more than once to a lot of the stuff I assume. I dislike most of the record now but I don't think anything is ever worth a zero.

Ah! That's one of the place where I read that Don't Brother Me was a pun! "In fact, ‘Don’t Brother Me’ (I love a good pun as much as anyone, but FUCKing hell) is ‘Songbird’ for seven and a half stupid cornballing piece of shit minutes." live4ever.proboards.com/thread/78120/brother-me-punThis review is just too subjective to be taken seriously. You hate BE? Fine! But don't pretend like you're analysing it on a purely musical standpoint because it doesn't deserve all this shit nor a 0. |

I think BE deserves a minimum of a 6.5

The guy is either batshit insane or a plain hater. The latter is obvious though. His review angered me when it first came out. But I got over it. I don't think anyone took it seriously,

If I remember rightly, I read this review when it came out just before the album did - I was just laughing to myself, he writes as if people actually care.
I genuinely couldn't care any less that a man who doesn't like Beady Eye said he doesn't like Beady Eye - that's why you can't take reviews seriously.

The last sentence is spot on, though.
"...if not for the massive popularity of Oasis, no one in their right mind would ever, EVER have signed Beady fucking Eye."

The reviewer quickly lost any credibility. Finishing that article after reading the first few lines is not so much looking at a review as reading to see how many different ways a biased journalist can say they dislike something greatly.
For all the love Beady Eye may get from this forum, there's certainly a lot of hate out there. Not everybody will like the same things we like. C'est la vie.
On an unrelated note - what an arsehole.

I really do despise people who equate music taste to intelligence levels. Thinking their art rock type stuff makes them smarter and more informed than everyone else, snobs!

If any new band released Four Letter Word, The Roller, Flick Of The Finger, Morning Son, Evil Eye, Off At The Next Exit etc and had a frontman with that voice i'd be a huge fan. Some of my favorite bands, and many indie bands i listen to in general dont release songs of that quality. It is so true that music reviewers believe they are above themselves and have to give the high ratings to bands no one had heard of because then they have some ground breaking new sound or whatever bollocks. Just so it looks as if they are so musically knowledgeable. Oasis have suffered from this because they know most lads in Britain love them and its perceived as music for lager louts who have no musical knowledge. They cannot accept that is what people love and not some shitty articulate lyrics. |

If any new band released Flick Of The Finger as a debut single, forgive me but what a fuckin' kick off entrance to the music scene that would be. That prick probably would be lickin' their ass and sayin' they're a new risin' star on a horizon, to not lose his job if that's what he's doing i don't know, shouldn't be. |

The same website is comparing Coldplay and U2 to Hitler in one if his other articles.
Odds are they're just being controversial to generate traffic on the website. I wouldn't get too upset.

Flick is a great tune to all of us. but the non-Oasis fan just don't care and can't stand Liam's vocals.
and what is to remember about that song anyway? Liam's vocals and the brass section. no chorus, no back vocals and a shit video.
and it was never about signing a NEW band. they were never a new band. if you fell for it, I'm sorry to say this - but they were ashes from an old band.
Four Letter Word was fresh and exciting. but everything that surrounded the band was always weird anyway.

Any music website with a twitter profile such as theirs "A music website: A place for Weezer fans to share dubstep remixes of Radiohead" deserves to have writers like that....

Huh? ...For example, I mean, I love the Barenaked Ladies, right?-- who, I might add, was signed to a Canadian record label not because of their overt nationalistic idiosyncrasies alone, but they were also four charming guys who didn't like to take a lot of shit (i.e., they weren't covert capitalists! they were more like Midwestern boys from America, if I am to generalize (and speculate)).
Well, to be fair, I just signed my 8-month old nephew as a beneficiary to my life insurance-- so who's going to say nepotism and a lack of insight to humanity's woes and transgressions will harm him (and those surrounding him) in the long run, eh?

Right...What I am trying to say is that if there's a market, then there's a fuckin' avenue!! Good god, surely you people should check up on the market economy every now and then, yes? ...If Miley can parlay her Disney stint into a lucrative stadium tour, then what makes you think Lorde came through on her song-writing abilities alone? Dammit, what I am trying to say is that the dotted line stops where marketability stops, regardless of productivity.

From the presumption by the reviewer/"critic" that money-grabbing record label execs are very much concerned with quality and long term viability when deciding to sign an act or not-- that part?
...Oh nevermind, I took the Music Critic for a critic.
