Where exactly has the "zip and zest" of Beady Eye's debut album got them? Fuck off, Uncut. Just because they didn't say what you wanted to hear? Grow up.

Despite the fact I hate this review, the Dream On lyrics do sound dreadful..."oh me oh my I'm running out of batteries"?? ...oof, Noel, come on. I know it's too soon to judge, but I don't see any way a word like "batteries" can be sung melodically Granted, that line is cringe worthy, but context is everything. This exercise has been done before: You can easily go through some amazing Oasis songs and nit pick a bad line that sounds awful isolated but works in the context of the whole song. Let's not judge a song by one line, eh.

Please stop telling people older than you to grow up. I am grown up. For all Beady Eye's "zip and zest," they produced an average album that the general public (read: non-Oasis fans) wants no part of. Even Uncut gave it a 6/10! Hardly a stamp of approval, is it? "Zip and zest" are not required to make a good album, and are in no way indicators of one either. Before I'm crucified, I should say I am a fan of some of the Beady Eye record and have been a fan of Liam's since 1994. Despite my disappointment with their debut, I am hopeful they will come up with the goods the second time around.

Just with the songs we've heard so far and (RM and STC) and EOTR's demo alone is way better than a 2\5 even if the other tunes were garbage which I'm sure are average at the least. So fuck you Uncut. Dumb fuckin uneducated writer. That is all.

The fact that this is written "So fuck you Uncut. Dumb fuckin uneducated writer."
Seems to be highly ironic.......

The writer will be back to say that the AA album is the best album since Revolver and 5/5. Just wait.

Let's not judge a song by one line, eh. Yeah, that line is definitely easy to judge... I read it just like this, "Oh me, oh my, I'm running out of... batteries?" I had to read it over again like a double take lol. But still it doesn't change the fact that I'm probably looking forward to this song more than any other song on the album, at the moment.

godDAMN!! that was fucking ruthless. by now, i am sort of expecting a kinda boring album with a couple of terrible songs(or should i say, songs that i really dislike). Having said that, i also expect a couple of great tunes. We've already heard IIHAG, that song is brilliant, even if it sounds like Mat Kearney meets the BSB. And i know EOTR will also be stellar. I think the problem with this review, is that the reviewer -just like me- was expecting a rockNroll album, and that's not what Noel has produced because that's not what Noel is anymore(a rockstar). He's now a singer-songwriter and there's nothing wrong with that.
Still, i thought it was a bit harsh. one more thing, what's this "battle of the solo projects" BDI ain't a solo project. Then again, this is kind of what Noel wanted, not what the rest of the band wanted. Still, it just seemed lazy to make that comment. As for the 3/5 DOYS review, i think he was generous giving that album 3 stars. The album has 2 really good songs and a couple of ok tunes, the rest is shit.

I don't like that both Uncut and RS Spain mentions how monotonous the album is, because that is also the feeling I got after IIHAG and WAL (well, these two are very different from each other but the structure of both songs are monotonous.)
Secondly, Noel has mentioned in some interviews that he wants the beer swinging crowd to go. I think this opinion may posing a risk of him writing too mellow songs. Mellow as in lame not as in good mellow.
Well, hopefully A Simple Game of Genius will be pure rock n roll with the monstrous feeling of the soundcheck.

For some reason I could not understand, many people expected BDI album would be awful (in spite of the band having three reasonably good songwriters and the best rock and roll singer in the last 20 years). When it actually turned out to be quite good, those people were surprised, and that caused the decent reviews.
In turn, as someone said, some reviewers (and some fans too) seem to expect from Noel one masterpiece every three years. Some will only accept another rock'n'roll classic as DM, others would not even accept that: they want something as good and revolutionary as DM was at the time, but in a different style. Obviously, that will never happen (again).
If I set my expectations to a reasonable level, I already know this album will be a success for me. Even if the songs we have not heard are shit (and I don't think it will be the case), I know I already got three songs I will be listening to for years to come (EOTR, IIHAG, TDOYAM), and three more songs I like (WAL, RM, STC) and will be listening from time to time. From this year records', I can only say the same thing of the Arctic Monkeys one. Of course, other people will have different tastes.Good for them, but mine is this

DM and WTSMG wouldn't have been 5 star albums without Liam's voice, so it's unfair to expect a 5 star album from Noel on his own. 2/5 is a bit poor, although I must say I'm not overly enthusiastic about what we've heard so far.

oasis albums always got various reviews. i don't pay to much attention to them. Q said that album is amazing. uncut said it's boring. i can't believe no one. we'll have to wait and see. next week is the german rolling stone out, with noel on the front page. i guess he'll get 4/5 stars. so everybody will party again
anyway, most of the early reviews are very good. jeffslate said it's brilliant. i don't fear a boring noel album. from what i heard so far, the album is going to be good.
how many stars did beady eye get from the uncut magazine?

Who gives a shit what the reviews say, only 1 opinion matters and that's your own. If I like it and think it's 5/5 I don't care what some critic thinks

I've never understood why people care so much about some critics review. Only one opinion should count and that's your own.

We have to remember that we know, in different versions, 6 of the 10 songs of the album, and i very much doubt the other 4 will be very bad or very different from the 6 we know. Meaning that if you like those 6 songs, you will enjoy the album, if they seem boring to you, or you miss Liam, the same will happen with the final result.
I for one, am very happy with what we have listened, and i don´t miss Liam at all. Thats not an Oasis album, guys, critics.
And: why the fuck people associates Noel with boring? where they expecting bitches, cigarrettes and alcohol or what? He is a solo artist and a great melodist, nothing more (or less) to expect from him than beatiful, classic style songs.
PS. For the one fucking with my karma: you can make it better (man!!!)

The only songs they describe in the review are the ones we have heard + something vague about Dream On and Everybody's On The Run. The only thing they say about (Stranded On) The Wrong Beach is that when you get to it everything sounds the same, but they dont describe it. It is very possible that they reviewed the album only having heard 4 songs (singles plus one of the first two). Never trust a spanish music journalist.
