Reminds you of Beady Eye=Bad. Fucking drones, think for yourself ffs Most people in this thread literally had the same opinion as you yet you tell them to think for themselves. What's even your point?

If I never heard the studio versions of I Get By and You Better Run, it would probably still be too soon. Both are absolutely dreadful. Awful opinion.

Dork Magazine Review - **/***** (aka 2/5)"As you were. Three words it feels like we've heard for eternity. A phrase that's become so ingrained in tweets and assorted social media posts that it's easy to forget there's an album attached to it and there's rather a lot of riding on it. Yes, Liam Gallagher's redemption trait has been long and winding, but ultimately, the music is what counts. It's put up or shut up for music's most notorious big mouth. It's odd then that his solo debut 'As You Were' is short on blust and swagger, or that sort of intense, in-your-face aggression that Liam is famed for. Instead, he seems to have gone for the softly, softly 'Hey, I'm a serious songwriter too' vibe on an album that lacks conviction. The shadow of a certain potato-featured sibling hangs heavy. Things start gloriously though with certified banger, 'Wall Of Glass'. The reason it's so exciting is that it packs a genuine punch. You can audibly hear a fired up and snarling Liam up for the fight. What follows is rather more limp and submissive. The songs aren't strictly bad, it's more that they're not really Liam. The voice sounds familiar, and the sound uses the same tricks you've heard over the years, but it doesn't feel right. The album was written with a hodgepodge of different people and features proeminent production by uber pop writer and producer Greg Kurstin. The result is a collection of nice enough songs that leave Liam's personality and get only slightly hinted at or absent completely. In the right hands and with the right approach, some of these songs could blossom into monsters. 'Greedy Soul' would make a punk rock banger if it were recorded by 'Definitely Maybe'-era 1994 Oasis, while 'Universal Gleam' would be a sparkling anthem if it was sprinkled with some shiny songwriterly fairy dust. On the album though they sound lumpen and severely lacking in a bit of oomph. Heading into making 'As You Were', there's no doubt Liam was at his lowest ebb following the split of Beady Eye and years of negative press. In coming back so proeminently and reminding people that he's still Liam Gallagher, the comeback can be considered a success - that is until you listen to the album and realise that the Liam we know and love may be lost forever. Maybe there's someone out there who can coax him out?" ---------- I didn't like this review at all. So the songs are good, but problem is there's not enough "rock 'n' roll" going on?

Q Magazine reviews are normally pretty decent.
Anyone know when the next issue is out?

The Dork review seems to be one long whine about not sounding like oasis from 1994. The reviews that actually talk about the music on the album have been fairly positive so far so I'm not too concerned.

What a shit review. They mention 3 songs. I agree that the review feels rushed. I don't think the reviewer gave it a proper listen without thinking that's the lead singer from Oasis. Same thing happened to Beady Eye. At this point, i think anything Liam release it will be the same old reviews saying that it doesn't have the Oasis magic.

That review has me excited then. Too many non-Noel written rockers have always been a downfall of Liam. Yes Wall of Glass is awesome, but I feel too many could be a problem. When songs aren't up to snuff cause they just aren't good enough, the thing that saves them is Liam's voice. I want more Bolds than Man of Miserys and Beatles and Stones, unless you can prove to me he can have multiple Wall of Glasses, give me his ballads any day.

It does read like it's been rushed and can't be taken seriously. A small magazine with the first review of a highly anticipated album and it gives it 2/5, now it could well be a 2/5 or it could be them wanting attention. That sounds ridiculous but it definitely happens in the film and gaming industry I know that much. What better way to gain traffic as a small company, get the first review out there and make it controversial.
That being said it could be accurate and I hope it's not a sign of things to come. The songs sounds great live and his comeback so far has been faultless, all I want is for him to release an album that is praised by the music critics 😂

This review is clearly rushed, but seem to pinpoint some issues some of us are fearing of this record. A nice product in which Liam has been put on top of.
We'll see.

This review is clearly rushed, but seem to pinpoint some issues some of us are fearing of this record. A nice product in which Liam has been put on top of. We'll see. I think the review sounds like exactly what I would expect given the way this album was made, the involvement of Warner Brothers etc. so I think it's highly credible, unlike those who've never heard the album but can still call it a shit review somehow. There's Liam's talk, about being n roll, punk, everyone else being 'beige', him being the last rock icon standing. And then there is his walk which is hiring in pop songwriters and cringeworthy, saccchrine and all too desperate attempts to get on the radio. It's amusing that some here still think Liam represents some great rock legacy and doesn't give a fuck. I just hope now he's done the selling out that was admittedly probably necessary to get his name anywhere, for the next album he can work with some people who have any idea how to write a song for him. 'Sometimes we lose our way'? Embarrassing.
