The two supposedly haven't spoken since they nearly brawled backstage at a scheduled Oasis concert: Paris 2009 Rock en Seine. Rex (“You Better Run”), self-referential Oasis nods (“For What It’s Worth” sounds like “ Stand by Me”). The laconic “Universal Gleam” feels like his promise to keep on playing this role for fans, a middle-aged “Rock ‘n’ Roll Star” about his ability to galvanize and reflect unheard lives (“I’ll help you fix your broken dreams/I’ll give you something you can shout about/I won’t ever let you down”).Enough's enough with all the X-Factor marketed to kiddies stuff (can't you give that it's own kiddie chart) and make the official charts for real music again? Lead single “Wall of Glass” is easily the record’s best song, cresting on a big, hairy harmonica blast that leers with intent. The songs “Paper Crown,” “It Doesn’t Have To Be That Way,” and “Come Back To Me,” as well as the lead single “Wall of Glass,” were produced by Greg Kurstin.

As You Were (Liam Gallagher album) - Wikipedia

Oasis’ last two albums, ‘Don’t Believe The Truth’ (2005) and ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ (2008) found the band re-discovering their mojo, but it wasn’t to last.

Aided by some cannily recruited collaborators (Greg Kurstin, Andrew Wyatt), this debut solo album gives us the Liam Gallagher we want: impassioned and piloting rock ‘n’ roll high on attitude and skyscraping choruses. Fascinated by the music of The Beatles, The Kinks and The Jam, he then decided to become a singer after seeing The Stone Roses playing live in Manchester.

Meanwhile, big brother Noel slipped into the role of frontman for his own High Flying Birds with aplomb, his gift for a tune unassailable. His flawless insults anticipated an era where celebrity reactions became shorthand for shade, and they’ve mostly been his internet currency until recently.

And the dynamic could have way been better, voice is really nice on this edition, but drums could be more present like the cd. Unlike his older sibling, Liam showed little interest in music as a teenager, but he claims that all that changed after he’d been hit on the head by hammer during a fight. Most impressive, however, is the reminder of Gallagher’s singular talent for making mid-paced album tracks feel like stadium anthems. Gallagher started promoting his debut solo album, As You Were, in a very early interview with Britain’s Q magazine last August.With Noel taking over all songwriting duties, Liam was the newly-christened Oasis’ charismatic frontman.
