C'mon, you know it'll just be Noel trotting out STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER again, regardless of the fact that it's not on the Pepper LP.

I mean, they've never been on a tribute album before(coughfireandskillcough) and they always play the same covers. |

i believe it will be a day in the life and that the experince whetted nnoel's appitite for creating something 'huge sounding' again. the only thing that makes me think liam wont be involved is that i can t see him being bossed about and lectured on camera by geoff emerick

a day in the life sung by liam when his voice was great or could be great if he took the time to try just a little bit harder instead of coasting it
he pulled it off with carnation and that status quo pictures of matchstick men crap proving that he really has the rock n roll voice of a generation if he pushed beyond the oasis bubble.
that guy could pull the song off and leave us gasping for more, but he wont do that...and that is a shame.
we will get noel trapsing through an accoustic version yet again, getting second hand applause again while liam is left behind yet again!
liam has one of the greatest vocals of a rock singer and it has been wasted for years. he should get up of his arse and guest on other artists songs and prove his worth.
the guy is a brilliant singer when he wants to be!

And yes if Liam took some advice, perhaps he could save his voice. But he needs to get lessons - lots of the oldies do (I even suspect Noel has)  |

Good to know his voice can still get an amazing quality in the studio. But live it's just shit, he can't sing at a high volume like he has to in that situation.
I really think they need to raise the sensitivity on his voice for live performances, that way he doesn't have to shout so loud. He would sound amazing if he kept a similar volume as in the studio.

I bet Noel could do a great version of "Fixing a Hole" This is my second favorite song on that album (besides a day in the life) It's my favorite Macca beatles song. I don't think Noel could top it. It'd be interesting to hear. |

Thanks Jono! I think Liam sounds absolutely fantastic  I never liked Within You Without You though so I'm not gonna judge if it's a good cover or not. |

I may well be in a minority of one here but personally I thought the track was distinctly average.
People on here are saying they thought Liam's vocals were brilliant, back to near his best etc.
Well, I hate to say it but I thought they were pretty poor.
He's lost his range and just rasps along these days in some sort of monotone dirge.
The song itself was a poor choice and just reflects Liam's desire (it was his choice apparently) to ape John Lennon - even if this was a George Harrison song.
It's trying to be 'psychedelic' for the sake of it and just ends up sounding flat and dull.
The great thing about Oasis in their pomp was the fact they were so exciting, incendiary even.
That has now been reduced to a damp squib on this track, one that doesn't have me reaching for the 'repeat' button.
Listening to The Zutons' version of 'Good Morning Good Morning' made me think what a fully-charged Oasis would have done with a tune like that (I'm talking about 'Good Morning Good Morning') in their 1994-96 heyday.
They would have made it their own and injected some real fire, passion and magic into a great pop song.
Instead we get this bloated, self-indulgent codswallop that leaves me feeling utterly underwhelmed and worried that Liam and Noel are in danger of disappearing up their own arseholes.
And before anyone says it, yes, I know things change and move on, I just believe the boys should remember what made them great in the first place and that was exciting, powerful and passionate rock with great melodies that meant you couldn't get the songs out of your brain for weeks, months, years on end.
It would be great if they could recapture that spirit for the next album but if this outing is anything to go by that looks like a folorn hope.
That's my take on it anyway.

That's my take on it anyway. Mine also. I stopped listening to it half-way through. |

I agree, wasn't that impressed with it. But I didn't like the original so....... I reckon Noel probably wasn't that into it so maybe thats why it ended up a bit flat... Was Andy Bell even in on the sessions?

Terry Kirkbride. I guess Zak was busy with something that something being touring with the who, most likely. i was highly disappointed with the outcome of the song. liam's voice is shot, and i think that this to me was one of the warning signs that this is not the band we all love anymore. their next album is their make or break, their last shot to truly prove to us that they were really worth it for all of this. |

Oasis' cover of within you without you is quite a good effort I think,
Yeah, Liam's voice falls short of how it once was, but everything else was pretty spot on.
I just gave the sgt peppers lonely hearts club band reprise, and I could swear Liam is singing on it! Can everyone else have a listen and let me know what you think?

This is exactly how Liam's vocals sounded on Scorpio Rising which some people insisted was the best his vocals had ever sounded. The melody on Within You Without You doesn't really lend itself to much pausing for breath. More to the point is that Liam's voice lends itself to certain types of arrangements (the stereotypical early Oasis sound of guitars, bass, and drums). His voice doesn't sit well with certain mixes. Listen to his vocals on Fade In-Out, Love Like a Bomb, Guess God Thinks I'm Abel, Songbird from that tsunami aid, versus some of the Radio 1 stuff early in their career. There isn't much difference in how his vocal sounds from one performance to another. Liam's voice is more "exposed" for lack of a better word when different people sit behind the mixing board....Different gear, different styles, different approach. I've been over it plenty of times before..different mic's, different pre-amps, different console, different medium...Listen to how harsh some of Lennon's vocals are on I Am The Walrus, the White Album and parts of Abbey Road (ie., Polythene Pam) and then listen to them on Julia, Dear Prudence or All You Need Is Love. There's plenty of engineering reasons for how they sound - not just the state of his vocal chords.
