2-3 years ago I thought Liam's musical career was over. I thought he had given up and decided to live a life somewhat far away from the spotlight, just running Pretty Green and enjoying the large sums of money he made from Oasis. Many fans abandoned him so why would he bother coming back? As I said here early in 2015, I thought he was going to do the same thing John Squire did when he abandoned music in favor of visual arts.
Here's where Debbie deserves a lot of credit: she (1) convinced Liam to give one last chance to music, (2) arranged him a contract with Warner and (3) convinced him to go outside his comfort zone with his music and his life. If it weren't for her, AYW would have never existed.
Finally, it's easy to forget how big of a comeback this was for Liam, the huge number of steps he had to overcome to get where he is right now. First he had to be remembered again, as he had gone into exile after Beady Eye disbanded. Then he had to find someone who'd be willing to believe Liam at the lowest point of his career, and Liam still managed to get a nice contract with Warner, which made a big investment propping up Liam since that moment. But Liam still had to record an entire album worth of songs, and while he was going to work with professional songwriters this time out, he was still going to need to work alone on a large bunch of songs to make his record work - and once again he accomplished the mission. Then he was going to need a lead single and large media exposure to create renewed interest for his work, and team Liam once again succeeded against all odds, netting Liam's most successful single after Oasis with a song well received by fans, media and young listeners. Only then we started to believe Liam's career could be truly resurrected, remember? From then on it seems that all things started to click, lots of festival performances, a sold out arena tour (who would have thought Liam could sell out arenas after what happened to Beady Eye), a second single also well received, and finally, an album that created interest, that sparked a huge number of orders (by 2017 numbers), that garnered some of the best critics Liam has ever gotten (not even DBTT or DOYS where so well received when released), and that deservedly found the commercial success Liam needed to reassure his status as a true rock'n'roll legend. In the end, this is why many of us got so emotional about AYW and its success: it's a comeback story not many of us expected to witness, and one that many of us desperately wanted to see. So many things could have gone wrong and ruined the process, yet everything went perfectly. That Liam and his team managed to get all their moves right and bring us Liam back from the ashes is something we should be forever grateful. Liam is one of the greatest frontmen of all time and and we are extremely lucky that things worked out so well.
Live long Mr. William John Paul Gallagher!

Yeah i forgot to give Debbie the credit she deserves, she clearly has brought him up to the minute with regards to social media and a fresher sounding album!

Also we can't overlook the vast improvement of his live performance, if he'd come back and been a complete disaster in his Glastonbury or Reading performances for example, it could have been pretty humiliating as he's put his name and legacy on the line. His self control and whoever has been advising him should get a lot of plaudits.

Also, Liam now looks like grown up, unlike Noel.
Noel’s brother and former Oasis bandmate Liam Gallagher recently spoke favourably of Styles’ solo music in an interview with NME.
Liam said: “I don’t mind it, man. There’s some interesting bits in it. I mean, I don’t know how it fucking goes, but fair play to him. I’m sure, like, it’s a bigger fucking cost. I’ve got the weight of Oasis still hanging over me and I’m sure I’ll always be that guy from Oasis, so I’m sure he’s carrying an equal weight. If he wants to get out of that pop world and into something with a bit more substance I think that’s a good thing.”
Now older sibling Noel has told Absolute Radio: “People of my age have let themselves go, they’re fat, balding idiots with fading tattoos. They sit in their garage and write shite like ‘Sign of the Times’ for Harry Styles. Which, quite frankly, my cat could have written in about 10 minutes!”
He added: “I don’t mind the song, my wife was falling over herself, ‘Have you heard Harry Styles’ new song? It’s like Prince’, I was like, ‘Without even hearing it, I can assure you it’s not like Prince!'”

Like some of his political views, it's not even that I disagree with him (the cult of Jay Z has completely passed me by, I just don't get the appeal, and wouldn't have had him at Glasto), but the way he phrases his criticism is just so cringey... "I'm not having hip hop at Glastonbury, it's wrong". And then Jay retorted by covering Wonderwall (horribly done, but great comeback). Liam seems much more open to other types of music, even as he calls himself the last true rock star.

Liam seems much more open to other types of music, even as he calls himself the last true rock star. In fairness to Noel, he does have a very broad music taste. He wouldn't be the great songwriter he is without such a range of influences. But I think he was quite stung by the Jay Z backlash - I don't think he realised how out of touch, 'dad like' and cranky he was when he said that. And he did come off as that. It led to many articles denouncing what a luddite he was and everything. He certainly didn't help himself by hiring Jet producer Dave Sardy for Oasis albums, and hiring shite pub rock bands like Twisted Wheel and The Enemy to support Oasis on tour. That period in 2008 was Noel at his most narrow minded. Note that he's now very praiseworthy of Kanye West, including his Glastonbury performance from a couple of years ago, even citing his influence for the new album. Would he have said the same 10 years ago? Perhaps not, but his change in tone is also maybe down to him trying to prove a point to his critics that he isn't a luddite.

That's true, he definitely has caught me by surprise a couple times recently with his music references, now that you mention it.
