French iTunes posted Beady Eye's Album "Different Gear, Still Speeding" online earlier today. 30 second streaming preview clips were made available for a short while but have since then been removed.




Obviously it's a little early for reviews and critique but here are a few of our thoughts on the clips :


Four Letter Word

Less the wimpy ballad I’d expected it to be, more a kick in the balls. Very much in the vein of Don’t Believe The Truth but with more aggression.

Millionaire

Sounds like it should be a summer single. Very melodic and a gentle vocal delivery from Liam.

The Roller

Instant Karma meets All You Need Is Love. Mid tempo stomper with a chorus that may divide opinion.

Beatles and Stones

Liam sings about standing the test of time like the Beatles and Stones to a tune that sounds strikingly similar to the Who’s My Generation. I’m relieved its not a song that just lists his favourite Beatles and Stones songs, akin to one he did about Oasis which Noel gleefully told the press about.

Wind Up Dream

Up-beat tempo with multi-layered vocals and maraca shaking complete with trademark Liam ‘come on’ refrains.

For Anyone

Liam sounds incredible on this one. It has the potential to be the best track on the album and could be his stab at Across The Universe.

Kill For A Dream

Another sixties influenced acoustic, tuneful track with Liam reaching unimaginably high notes. Could be difficult to emulate live.

Standing On The Edge Of The Noise

Liam’s second full-on rocker of the album and judging by this clip he seems to have moved on from the dirge of Aint Got Nothing. Could be a great gig opener.

Wigwam

The most intriguing of all the song previews. Sounds like nothing else on the album and alludes to being one of the more psychedelic moments of the LP.

Three Ring Circus

More old school rock n’roll but a question mark certainly hangs over this one.

The Beat Goes On

The melody hints at Oasis’ Pink Floyd inspired Those Swollen Hand Blues. Incredible vocals from Liam and a clear Beatles influence. This one could be huge.

The Morning Sun

Sounds like its been taken straight from the pre-Oasis Lost Tapes bootleg – which isn’t a bad thing. If the entire song is acoustic as the preview suggests it could be the album’s Married With Children
