For those who are not yet familiar with this name, let's get a bit of background. On August 28, 2009, minutes before playing for the festival Rock en Seine, Oasis Noel Gallagher leaves after a violent altercation with his brother Liam. The prayers and the despair of fans do not help, the decision is irrevocable and Mancunians have officially announced their separation. If Christmas is discreet in the press, Liam multiplies meanwhile sensational statements. Provocative, aggressive, megalomaniacal, he does not hesitate to blame his brother, to accuse him of stealing songs from Oasis for a hypothetical solo project, and he brought joy to the press explaining that he will form a new group which will be "much better Oasis." These include "Beady Eye , which includes all ex-Oasis except Christmas. He then launches into a sprint to edge his brother, going so far as to offer a sample of 20 seconds of the album to take speed. Incidentally, it turned out he was the only one run, with Noel recently denied rumors of a solo album.
The race ends in February 2011 with the release of " Different Gear, Still Speeding . Some apprehension reign without his brother Liam, it's almost heresy. Because the complementarity between his voice and lyrics of Christmas was a key to the success of Oasis. During one of his numerous statements to the press, he will recognize himself: "I'm not hard with words. Simply write the first things that go through my head .
First Print Album: satisfactory, nothing more. The influence of the Fab Four is still present, such songs as "Millionaire " or "Dream Wind Up." Bad language would say also that the group name was not chosen innocently Beady Eye ranks right next to the Beatles in record shops ... Anyway, with or without Christmas, it looks like much to Oasis' Four Letter Word "is such a great title like" Supersonic . It makes sense and the fans do probably no more waiting, but we would have liked to see Liam take some risks to bring a personal touch to this first embodiment. Warmed
or not, the recipe takes over and the songs are pretty successful, as the frenzied "Bring The Light " influences rockabilly or very rhythmic "Three Ring Circus . Both compositions are characterized in particular: "The Roller " and " The Beat Goes On , sounding both very Lennon, and give a certain panache to the album. Conversely, it would've happened " Beatles and Stones " and his words insipid or boring "Kill For A Dream .
The rest is all there is more classic, or disappointing or transcendent, and the album concludes with "The Morning Son , calm and nostalgic piece, and in fact fairly good.
With "Different Gear, Still Speeding" Beady Eye does not play the card of novelty.
Still, the album is relatively convincing, and the fans probably end up there. For others, you can just titles mentioned above, namely, "The Roller ", " The Beat Goes On " Bring The Light "before returning to listen" (What's the Story) Morning Glory? . For the other brother Gallagher result remains uncertain to this day we still do not know if he will pursue a solo career. Or whether we wish him elsewhere. Because if we doubted the success of Beady Eye, you can let alone question the ability of Christmas to shine alone. In the story, it's probably Liam won the item most valuable asset: his voice, that Christmas will be hard pressed to emulate.
