Thought it was shit at the time and still think it's shit now.
I like Diamond in the Dark and Don't Go Halfway, although the studio version of Diamond in the Dark pales in comparison to the Rockfield version. More Power is ok, but probably more because it's completely different and unexpected than anything else.
That's about it.

Haven't played it since around the time it was released. Diamonds in the Dark is pretty good, Too Late is pretty good and the rest just didn't do anything for me.

It’s still my favourite Liam album. I love everything on it except WIN and Moscow Rules.

I really hope Líam has something lined up for after his music career because if you think Mick Jagger will still be out there trying to be a rock star at age fifty, then you are sadly, sadly mistaken.
God bless.

Moscow rules and the Joker were and still are my favorite songs of that album, but it turned out I listened to diamond in the dark and world’s in need most. guilty pleasure I don’t like mv of Moscow Rules. It should be more abstract

Better Days, Everything's Electric, Diamond In The Dark, C'mon You Know, all great. More Power, the big live version with all the background singers is well... powerful. All the Rockfield versions are better. Not much use for the rest of them. Personal favorite, The Joker.
Oh yeah. it's not actually on the album. Somebody screwed up there.

Not for me. I like just 2/3 tunes. It's the worst Gallaghers related album, imho. I prefer by far the two BE album over CMYK. Same here. Never thought I’d say this, but for me even the weakest spots of DG and BE are miles better.

My favourite of his solo albums.

For me the weakest. The only good thing it did for me was, that I think "why me, why not" has aged better. Got back to that one and enjoyed it more than ever.
Somehow "come on you know" feels like a bunch of songs thrown together with some good ideas but all very sterile and I can't explain it but Gallagher songs tend to just stick with me but the last two gallagher releases fell flat for me.

I can forgive this album because it gave us the best Liam solo tune so far in Everything’s Electric. But mostly it’s Liam singing songs he doesn’t sound invested in and could have been written for anyone. Even the decent tunes like More Power sound awkward somehow. I think it was telling that Liam didn’t really want to talk about the songs when it came out. It all sounded a bit inauthentic.

I love Everything's Electric and More Power. Some of the best Gallagher solo songs. I don't care much about the rest of the album. Don't think I've listened it more than once... which says it all really.

I'd say it has held up poorly, very poorly indeed.
I think Everything's Electric (A Dave Grohl let's all remember) still gets play and is defintely the strongest song on the record. I initially didn't like it, thinking it lacked a strong chorus but I've warmed to it with time. Only problem with that one is it is far too demanding for Liam to sing on tour and so you'll likely never hear it at a gig again.
As others have mentioned, the promotion was weak. Barring the presale ploy for Knebworth, there was nothing really done to say that the album was worth getting or that you should. The other three singles for the album were complete trolley, I remember being in work and some non-Oasis fans would hear C'mon You Know on the radio and go "that's boring". The album tracks aren't much better. More Power and Too Good For Giving Up are fine but that's about it. The entire thing was instantly forgettable and still is now. I reckon come 2025, he'll only be playing maybe Diamnond in the Dark live, the rest will disappear from memory.

It kinda felt already old, when I listened to it the first time.

I think it's telling that Liam went to Kurstin with the Squire demos and not Wyatt. I don't think he really liked COYK either. I've barely listened to it since it was released.

I mean the fact he literally leaked Nothing Nowhere himself shows he wasn't that happy with the album, I think you could tell that in interviews

It'll soon be two years since this album was released.
