Music review: Liam Gallagher – 无毛视频楢s You Were无毛视频�
I really miss Oasis.
While on vacation, my daily reading involved 无毛视频淵our Favorite Band is Killing Me无毛视频� by Steven Hyden. In the book, Hyden outlines what pop music rivalries really reveal about the meaning of life. In one of the chapters, Hyden examines the feud between Oasis and Blur and the quest to achieve musical supremacy. The book is an enjoyable read, and I highly recommend it to anyone who has a passion for music.
To be clear, I无毛视频檓 firmly on the Oasis side after never really yielding to the Blur bandwagon. After reading Hyden无毛视频檚 entertaining insights, I had the strong urge to rediscover the two Oasis albums that left the biggest impact on me and millions of others as well.
With 无毛视频淒efinitely Maybe,无毛视频� brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher proclaimed their new rock star status back in 1994 with brash and infectious tracks like 无毛视频淩ock 无毛视频榥无毛视频� Roll Star无毛视频� and 无毛视频淐igarettes and Alcohol.无毛视频�
A year later, the brothers delivered a true Britpop masterpiece with 无毛视频�(What无毛视频檚 the Story) Morning Glory?无毛视频� by offering glorious tracks such as 无毛视频淲onderwall无毛视频� and 无毛视频淐hampagne Supernova.无毛视频�
Six albums later and after tenacious quarrels too numerous to list, the talented brothers parted ways and left the Oasis they created.
After side projects by both brothers, Liam releases his first solo effort with 无毛视频淎s You Were.无毛视频� And I couldn无毛视频檛 be happier.
I无毛视频檓 sure Oasis fans feel the same. It无毛视频檚 a glorious return to the classic Oasis sound that propelled the band to worldwide stardom and secured a place in rock history.
Opening track 无毛视频淲all of Glass无毛视频� sets the stage for the barrage of infectious, soaring and engaging tales dripping of pure rock coolness laced with soaring pop sensibilities.
无毛视频淏old无毛视频� follows with its hypnotic hooks that detail confessions of regret and lost opportunities.
无毛视频淕reedy Soul无毛视频� is a rousing burner that packs plenty of charisma and I-don无毛视频檛-care attitude.
The highlight of the album comes when Gallagher slows things down to examine loneliness on the moving 无毛视频淧aper Crown无毛视频� as the 45-year-old sings, 无毛视频淣ow it无毛视频檚 better if you hold your breath and don无毛视频檛 look down/At the pages of your paper crown.无毛视频�
无毛视频淚无毛视频檝e All I Need无毛视频� closes the set with Gallagher perhaps proclaiming that he无毛视频檚 truly ready to stand on his own and happy to step out from his older brother无毛视频檚 shadow, making 无毛视频淎s You Were无毛视频� one of my favorite releases of the year.
I guess it无毛视频檚 time for big brother to see if he无毛视频檚 up to the tall task of delivering a gem with his upcoming new release.
I无毛视频檓 sure the two brothers will have a lot to say to each other in the months to come.
That无毛视频檚 certainly good news for Oasis fans everywhere.
