Perhaps they're happily stuck in the past, but there's no denying that when they have a hook or melody -- and when they have a savvy producer like Sitek supporting them -- they deliver the retro goods.

‘BE’ is certainly an improvement on ‘Different Gear...’, but it’s more of a tentative step in the right direction than a great leap forward.

The vocals, the terrible rhymes... it's business as usual then for Liam; it's just scrubbed up a bit.

Sorry for being dead for like a week and a half I just lost motivation to listen to albums but I'm gonna lock the fuck in now.
The second and final Beady Eye album is honestly, underrated. A bunch of bangers and only around one weak track, and then they end it off with a 10/10 song. If Beady Eye didn't form instantly after Oasis split, I think they would've done better, and if this was 2017 Liam's voice, holy shit... I only heard this once in 2024 so coming back for a ... read more
only good thing about this album besides the first three songs, is that it has tits on the cover art.
a step in the right direction from dgss would have really wanted to see a third beady eye
