Think that Sputnik review is the worst. Long rambling shite and then finally a small mention about a few songs.

Without looking, I absolutely guarantee most people who work for pitchfork have beards, wear thick rimmed glasses, identify as feminists and equate music taste to intelligence levels. Awful fucking people, the worst kind of sycophantic conformists, the ones who think they're different, because at the most shallow, superficial level they have a very traditionally 'quirky' dress sense and think that makes them interesting.
Hate hipsters. Fuck what they think.

In short description: When you cant write good songs, at least you need to have something to say, and Liam is perfect example.

Whats more the journalist said that Liam is a someone with small brain. 4/10

Sputnik Music reviewRating: 3.0 (good)Review Summary: POTATO Liam Gallagher wakes up, has a morning cup of tea and settles in for the day. Today’s finally the day that his first solo album, As You Were, is released to the public. It is a day that he has been anxiously awaiting for nearly 18 months. “What a great decision it was of me to give a solo career a proper chance,” he thinks to himself, even though he decided to do it only weeks after disparaging other artists for doing the exact same thing. He never thought he would be this excited for this day to come. Checking his computer, the NME website features no less than four articles about him, including the headline feature on their website - so you know, just another day. It’s been over twenty years since the younger Gallagher brother was on top of the world as the lead singer of Oasis. But since the band broke up after a spat at a Paris concert in 2009, Liam has been known more for his attention grabbing insults than the music he’s created. His main project after the split, Beady Eye, only proved to the public that Liam’s nasally voice was better in front of Noel’s songwriting and arrangements, to Liam’s ultimate dismay. After Beady Eye fell apart, he has been mainly spending his time conjuring up false rumors of an impending Oasis reunion on his Twitter account. He blames Noel for being the perpetrator, and as the only reason why Oasis can’t reunite and play the big stadiums like they used to and make all their fans happy. If only he had a genie and a magic lamp, his first wish would be to go back to 1996, when everything he touched turned to gold – though he won’t admit that to anyone. The phone rings – who is it? It’s the NME looking for another interview, asking him pointed questions to get another classic Liam Gallagher line that slacks someone or something off, something that will satiate its readers for a day until the next article about him is published. He gladly accepts the phone call and gives them a few lines that he won’t be able to remember in a few days’ time – something about calling Noel a “POTATO” and insult him for hob-nobbing with Bono, Johnny Marr and Paul Weller. That’ll show Noel, hah, that twat. He hangs up the phone, cracks open a lager, plays some FIFA, and waits. He has a few tour dates coming up that he’s excited to do. It’s been a while, but its second nature to him at this point, the routine is in the books, and he knows what makes the crowd go crazy. He’ll get up on stage and knock ‘em dead like he used to - arms tucked behind his back, hiding behind his sunglasses, wearing a trench coat. He’ll emphatically knock through a few of the tracks from As You Were, which he’ll spend a copious amount of time talking up while he’s on stage as the best work that he’s ever done. He’ll sing a couple of Oasis tunes that he wrote just to keep the fans happy, not for his own sake, of course. The crowd will egg him on to say something – he’ll call Noel’s band The High Flying Birds something clever like “high flying turds.” That’ll show Noel, hah, that twat. Speaking of Noel, that s***bag of a brother has a new album coming out only weeks after Liam drops his. “That’s classic Noel,” Liam thinks to himself. “The work I’ve done since Oasis split up has been better than anything Noel has done!” he tells himself unconvincingly. “’Wall of Glass’ and ‘For What It’s Worth’ is the sound of a new era – people will be grateful to me for not giving them more of that swirling psychedelic bull crap that Noel has been churning out - THIS is the sound of rock and roll! This is the sound that people have been dying to hear!” He stops for a moment, takes a sip of lager, and looks at the phone again, exhaling deeply. How he wishes that Noel would just give him a call. www.sputnikmusic.com/review/75040/Liam-Gallagher-As-You-Were/ I've never read an album "review" like that. Fortunately I must say.

Anyone who hasn't listened to the album isn't further ahead as to what it sounds like or if it's any good (just the 3 stars at the beginning). I don't know if they always do that kind of thing on this website, if so people know what to expect, otherwise they can be puzzled.

Has anyone who's given grief about the Pitchfork review actually read it? Nothing Laura wrote is really that outrageous to consider - in fact, most of her criticisms can be found right in the 'Things Not Great About As You Were' thread. Some of it is stuff people have been saying since before the album dropped. I think the score could be a tad higher but the review itself is absolutely fine. I think that ship has sailed. Nothing in that review is outrageous. People just like shitting on pitchfork as much as they deem that pitchfork shits on Oasis. They're easy targets as they've made themselves because of past reviews. Recent reviews state differently, but that bad history is still there. Fairly ironic if you think about it

I'm really good at guessing the Metacritic scores of movies....I normally guess within 5-10 points. God bless.

(= as i v also said before with my previous posts)
(=totally agree) .................................................
in jordan71421's words, i suppose Rolo and i dont have the right to have an opinion about Pitchfork, about a review, about music or anything... jordan71421, the only insult i can see here is your own words, now, can you eat your words please and sing for what its worth to some users here?

Im really pis.sed off. muzyka.interia.pl/recenzje/news-recenzja-liam-gallagher-as-you-were-czlowiek-ktory-pozostal-,nId,2449217 I knew that polish media hates Gallaghers, but this made me angry a lot.

Everything is the same old shitty stuff, copying Beatles, Cures, etc etc, Paper Crowd is "auto rip-off". And btw, they wrote that Oasis is one hit wonder, haha. Whats more the journalist said that Liam is a someone with small brain. 4/10 Absolutely laughable. He tried so hard to prove that Liam is a talentless, childish twat with a bloated ego but all he managed to do is show his ignorance and disdain for the Gallaghers and all things Oasis. Too bad that this is the first and so far the only Polish review of AYW. Not that it will affect the album sales in any way - Liam will (most likely) get fuck all from us Polish folks

It's not exactly a press review, but is a nice well detailed review from a non-Oasis fan and i think it's worth to hear his review.

Nothing in that review is outrageous. People just like shitting on pitchfork as much as they deem that pitchfork shits on Oasis. They're easy targets as they've made themselves because of past reviews. Recent reviews state differently, but that bad history is still there. Fairly ironic if you think about it "This previously- ignored garbage gets scraped from the bottom of some dumpster behind Epic records, and packaged as newly- discovered gleaming treasures. Easy, eh? "Blimey, look wot I found, it's The Lost Oasis Anthology!"" "I'm afraid this compilation just isn't enough to spark a renewed interest in these quickly fading toss-pots. Obviously, it's much easier for Oasis to package shit as diamonds and chuck it out among the entertainment- starved rabble, rather than actually try and transcend the vacuum they've been writing songs in for so long." -- From their Masterplan review. "0.0" -- Their only word on Jet's "Shine On". "The band's decision to not sign with a major just makes them seem financially inept in addition to their musical shortcoming. You guys, just sell out! Independent music does not need you. Pick out those leather pants and jump into the mill." -- From their review of The Get Up Kids' "Something to Write Home About" The present doesn't look much improved, or else we wouldn't be going round in circles about this particular review. You can enjoy the wit in the writing, nothing wrong with their writing in general beyond the unbearable, unearned smugness. But don't try to sell them to me as credible music writers. That, they are most certainly not. Snapes' review points out that as Lennon died at 40, Liam has no idea how to sing now. But Liam's never imitated Lennon's voice. He certainly likes to write Lennonesque melodies, but his voice has been his own all along. A raspy Northern growl isn't a Lennon impersonation. Which perfectly exemplifies how I view Pitchfork: It was a funny quip, till you think about it for two seconds and realize it's just snark with no real basis. Like most of what they write. Enjoy it if that's your bag, but don't try to argue for their respectability. EDIT: Bonus, because apparently I needed more reasons to hate this twat. Witty but unbearable even when attempting self-parody. That's them: Pitchfork are scene chroniclers first and foremost. The music is only a partial component of what they really cover, and thus their reviews are sublimated to what they're really chasing.

Is Fantano going to review this? I love watching his reviews and then reading people going crazy over it like with LCD Soundsystem recently. I don't even care what he says, I just love reactions
