On the Friday 7th of June, the day after our exams (I was a little worse for wear - I think I may have invented cider vodka martinis at some point...), myself and Romana were toddling around Portobello, stopping off at Rough Trade as is standard. Only this time, we got ourselves on the list to see Beady Eye perform at Rough trade East (the one I am more familiar with) on Monday. Having both been big Oasis fans and self-admitted newbies to the world of Beady Eye we bought the unreleased album (Romana was shocked. I was just goin with the flow - unreleased? hahaha - but it actually doesn't come out till the 10th). Having been away in the Cotswolds I will post our take on the album shortly, also with super new other stuff about Liam live. What to expect? I don't know. What I expect? Like most things, anything.
This is the album which is a book-like thing with a card slot at the end for the album. So far, i really like 'Iz Rite' and 'I'm Just Saying' is promising with the exception of the slightly annoying intro. First song 'Flick of the Finger' is a return to the Britpop sound we all love. 'Don't Brother Me' sounds like a possible peace attempt with Noel, however we are not here to judge so I will say the long instrumental bridge was tense yet mellowing.The reversed lyrics in 'Dreaming of Some Space' reminded me of the Beatles 'Gnik Nus'. 'Off At The Next Exit' will definitely please older fans. Overall great variety between tracks, so far a solid 8/10.
I can imagine 'Face the Crowd' could be ace live. Will have to see tomorrow! Wish us luck, Romana wants an autograph!
