BDI are getting quite a bit of kudos for moving away from the Oasis sound.
After thinking for a few hours...I think they may have released this track because it is the farthest thing from Oasis that they did on the album. It has shock value in that respect and the media is going to pick up on that. That can be nothing but positive considering the biggest criticism of Oasis over the past years is their lack of ability to sound like anything other than Oasis. BDI have broken that mould. If it weren't for Liam's vocals I wouldn't guess that it was from LAG.
What I wonder about is...is this really indicative of the album direction? One of the most strikingly novel features of the song, for instance, is the driving piano. But look @ their band make-up (singer, 2 guitars, bass, drummer) they aren't built as a piano-driven pop group.
Can we really think that this one tune is actually indicative of what the album sounds like? Or did they release this more to make a point?
The album would probably still be mostly guitar-driven music. And what do you think will be said about that? Will it be viewed as a backslide into the familiar by LAG after the radical difference of BTL?
Another thing that worries me. This track is more groove-based than melody-based. If that is the theme of the album...groove based guitar-driven rock reminds me disturbingly of the DOYS principle. And we all know that LAG didn't do especially well with that theme back then.
This is still just a first snippet and personally...I don't think that it really has much to do with the overall album. I think it was chosen to draw a line in the sand and state a point. "This is not going to be Oasis 2.0"
I don't think that you will have to have liked this single to like the rest of the album.
I don't want Oasis. But I want guitars and melody. Those are both things that LAG have said that they like...so hope is not lost of a great album.

yes it is and don't want to talk about Oasis, and Liam, and Noel, and nostalgia, and comparisons. Fuck off. Is a good song, of a NEW band, and that's all.

Why is everyone so edgy about? Particularly those that LIKE the song. You just got a song you liked...why are you so bitchy! I didn't say that the song is bad. I made no references to DM or WTSMG? or Noel! The only things that I said about Oasis was that they were stepping away from their sound. And I said that I worry that the groove-based vibe of this song will be translated into the more guitar-driven tracks. I am trying to treat them like a band in their own right. If they were any other band that I had heard alot about made up of people I was familiar with...I would be asking the same questions. "Is what I am hearing now an indication of whether or not I am going to like the album?" If I heard a song by a new band that I liked...I would logically ask myself...what is the album going to be like? If you don't want to talk about BDI...get the fuck off the forum. What kind of attitude is, "it's a good song, by a new band, and that is all" That attitude will make for an extremely boring forum. Maybe you need a time out... |

I made a post in the BLT reaction thread about the short comings of the song, only to be slagged off as if I just murdered a baby. lol I dont think the album will go this direction. I still believe that they will come some guitar based melodies. Gem & Andy have worked with that their entire careers. Why change now? |

It's not brilliant and it's not dog-shit. It's listenable. I don't really think that it warrants this level of division in the ranks. It shouldn't be hailed but neither should it be pissed on. |

...as if I just murdered a baby ...is that bad?  Anyway, I rate the song 5.5-6/10. But it's just not good enough, they've got so many songs and they decide to put this on the album? This should've been a B-side. However, I'm pretty sure that there are loads of better songs on the album. Let's hope so at least! |

This should've been a B-side. However, I'm pretty sure that there are loads of better songs on the album. Let's hope so at least! Think it's gonna be more guitar-based? Do you think that piano is going to be prominant throughout. This thread isn't about the song. We already have 6 million threads about that. It's about how the song has shaped your idea of what the album is going to be. We have been saying for weeks it was pointless to theorise about the album since we haven't heard anything...well now we've heard something. I am hoping that the piano is not prominant in the rest of the album. I am hoping they get back to guitars. I am hoping that the rest of the tunes are much more melodic than this. I remember Liam saying it was going to be more melodic...and so I am a bit disappointed about that at this time. Wanting melodic guitar music DOES NOT mean I want Oasis music...before anyone jumps on me. It's just the 3 songwriters are guitarist...it's hardly a stretch to expect guitars. |

Yeah what the fuck is up with some people on this board today? It's like they think by listening to BTL Beady Eye poisoned their ears. And for such an upbeat song too...
Anyway, my thoughts are that this will be the only track like this on the album. While some other tracks may feature pianos, I don't think any others will be so piano driven and give off such a 50s vibe as this one has.
Now I do like the song. It's grown on me after a couple of listens as I was too surprised when I first heard it to really make anything of it. Having said that, my expectations for the album have changed a bit. I don't really know if for better or for worse, but I expect it to be a little more varied than I did yesterday.
I think this song is a great sign, even if you're not a big fan of it. At the very least it shows that BE are capable and willing to venture out of their comfort zone and try new things. I honestly expected an album full of songs that sounded like stuff we've already heard them do, but this certainly doesn't fit the bill.

ok this is my take...
After listening to it a good half a dozen times, it really has changed my expectations for the album.
And no, not for good.
Man... i was just so excited about this song and it was such a letdown. again, not saying that because i think the song is shit but because i don't like this kind of sound/music.
I was expecting stuff that resembled Turn Up the Sun and Keep the Dream Alive and something maybe even like Little James(eventho everyone thinks it sux) and a number like GGTIA/BOADC.
Instead i got this and really... why should i believe that Bring the Light isn't an indicative of what's to come? Why am i supposed to believe the rest of the album will be nothing like it?
Some of you seem to think they were just "trying to make a statement", well that could be true but it could also be that this is one of their best songs.
I am a huge fan of Liam, i probably do like him more than Noel and all but i can't defend this song because i'd be lying to myself.
i still have hope... i hope ... that the rest of the album is more melodic and more guitar driven because that is the kind of music that i like.
I'm not into 50's music and Elvis and all that, not to say that i don't respect the artists that era produced, i simply do not like it.

I think this was chosen as the first impression of the album, for these reasons: - It's different from the Oasis sound. I guess the guys wanted to make a statement and let know from the beginning that this is a different thing. - It's upbeat, happy and catchy, so that it gets stuck in people's heads. - It's kinda representative of the sound and image they want to project. It's evident they're going for a retro vibe, so now I have a better idea of what to expect from the album. I guess, it will not only consist of piano-driven catchy songs, but with this and the riff from the video, I think we have a better picture of what's coming. I guess I answered the original question in the last bit, though.  |

OMG. This has no bearing on what the overall album will sound like. Some of these responses are just mental!
Imagine Fade In Out was the only song from Be Here Now or BOADC from Heathen Chemistry and then we based the albums on 1 track? FFS!! How wrong we would be.
BE songs will all sound different but with a Rock N Roll vibe different to Oasis.

Every post I've seen from you today, you make a specific point of explaining that you're not trying to offend anyone. As long as you state your opinion as opinion and not fact, you have nothing to worry about. I had low expectations for the song and it still disappointed me, so I'm hoping the album is a pleasant surprise now that I'm expecting a very subpar experience. Hopefully there are at least a couple good songs. If not, Beady Eye will fade into obscurity until Noel puts on his Oasis cape and saves us all. I've tried to like it and I keep leaving an hour or 2 between listens so it's semi-fresh, but uhhh...it's not doing it for me. PS - Brett Favre is an egomaniacal douche. |
