Just bought "Lyla", and how refreshing is it to see a single where all the tracks including b-sides are all sung by Liam?
Just one thought, anyone agree that "Won't Let You Down" might be better without that effect on Liam's voice?

Just one thought, anyone agree that "Won't Let You Down" might be better without that effect on Liam's voice? I agree about Liam singing all the songs for once but not sure that is an effect I think its the way hes singing it, bit like how he sang songbird. Good song though sounds like 'You've got to Hide your love away'.   |

But that's when I keep in mind they went for the Lennon sound. |

Good song though sounds like 'You've got to Hide your love away'. I agree, Liam should sing more of the B-sides. I get the impression that over the last few years (since BHN really) he has done less since he knows they will only B-sides and he can't be arsed, whereas in the old days he sang a much bigger perecentage of them. There is definitely an effect or at the very least a pushing of the rawness in the mix of WLYD, I think it is dodgy from a production standpoint. Whether they were trying to do a "Lennon" or not, it's just distracting from the song after awhile. I think they made the same mistake on the album as well with LLAB. |

I'm racking my brains here, and I think it's the first time since Cigarettes & Alcohol that Liam has sung all the songs, on UK singles anyway  |

I was going to ask when was the last time he sang all the songs. Cheers!

i think what they did with wont let you down is that they literally sped the whole song up by like 2 percent. i actually think they might have used this technique before... more successfully...
but, yeah, if you slow down the playback just a bit it sounds more like regular old liam just struggling with the vocals a bit. crazy cats

Well I miss the cool Noel-sung B-sides so hope they appear on next single(S).. Not that I am in anyway unhappy with the Lyla single, quality product!!
Won't let you down is more the Noel-end of the band if you get my drift? LOL ;D

I'm happy as hell Liam is singing on the b sides again plus theyre a return to the good old days when the b sides were classics.
I'm not a huge fan of Noel singing, some songs for sure but the last album or two theres been a lot of the usual type of slow Noel acoustic songs many of which were pretty poor.
Happy as hell to hear Liam singing back on em

I don't like WLYD. Too muh like The Beatles without any Oasis soul imo. Eyeball Tickler puts it to shame.
Each to their own though I suppose.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing, but I thought it was more like +8%... it sounds like he just sucked in a big ball of hellium...

To which songs are you referring to exactly? I thought YGTHOAS was pure class and Idler's Dream was MEGA

I think an old mic from the Beatles area and some reverb (which every singer uses) gives Liam's voice that Lennon-esque quality on "Won't Let You Down."
