By Luis Paz. Culture & Entertainment - Pagina 12, March 16, 2011 .- The only thing that separates the debut album by Beady Eye of The Beatles are the albums by the Beastie Boys in the troughs. Moreover, the debut of the band of former Oasis, Liam Gallagher at the helm, the job is clear in its influences that these musicians have ever done. But even that is a disc that is nowhere near the quality albums of The Beatles: Different Gear, Still Speeding (which can be read as an allegory for "Yes, we went Noel, Oasis composition engine, but we in it") is a very nice disc, but not includes stories, innovation or epic. The Oasis format without the greatest Gallagher shows clearly what happens to a band that has good players but no aesthetics and in his (now only) leader is more a rock star at 90 that a good model for 2011 iconoclast . The result is a compendium of formulas without substance, meaningless phrases and music without dynamism and sharp angles.
The most obvious difference is mainly soul Oasis: the entire album is suffused with optimism and brightness as the quartet completed by guitarists Gem Archer and Andy Bell and drummer Chris Sharrock had not shown in his recent work with Noel. But flattens miss the attention of discerning what that sound so familiar that there is in every song, especially since there are no reports on any disruption to stick or musical. Different Gear, Still Speeding sounds to record a karaoke night for Liam who has all the music he loves behind, but nothing clever or interesting to say. Most of the time wandering along lyrics that do not lead to nowhere: "The only certainty is that everything is real," "I'll light you bring love," "All we have is yesterday," I want to see what is not in sight "," You never know until you try. " And boring, of course.
Musically, the disc is in a line of soft rock that, indeed, saves the newsprint and extends their useful life events to festivals, because it makes use of " all that people like "the plan mid-tempo" survive "with adhesive melodies and moments short enough psychedelia and noise. But what an intriguing grandstanding? A more scientific level, it looks like a Lennon solo album without mischief, apathetic and hurry to finish. "The Roller" is "Instant Karma" '11 model (with the same sound and less swing), "Wind Up Dream" sounds like a reading of "I'm Only Sleeping" with a harmonica that plays into the "Dear Prudence" "Three Ring Circus" is "Nobody Told Me" with the spirit of Oasis salable. Lennon is a rich source, but Liam does not have the versatility and cunning.
afraid of a Gallagher at the edge of plagiarism is same to be afraid of a barking dog, but airecitos The Who (in "Beatles and Stones," a title already used by the big band and sensitive under brit pop, The House of Love), U2 (the closing "Wigman ") and McCartney's" Live and Let Die "(the opening" Four Letter World ") end up itchy. In the past, Liam sings, "Nothing lasts forever." The credit for this quartet either.
