Nice find. I was expecting another acoustic type of song, but I'm liking what I hear of this one so far.

Pretty much everytime I first listen to a new Beady Eye song it sounds like it could be so much better than it is. The verses always sound like they need an extra word or two, a recurring sense of incomplete phrasing is usually a sign of dodgy songwriting.

^^Totally agree. I always feel as if something is missing. Something more can be done.

Now you say it, that's actually true...Except for the Roller, that is. |

Interesting that it says Composer: "Archer" when you listen to it on Amazon.

Sounds like Lennon's "Remember"

It's ok. Warrants being a bside, I think.

^ Beat me to it on Lennon's "Remember", nice one.
This is getting to be a bit absurd.
Fuck, paying homage is just fine, and even just many times, but this shit is becoming embarrassing.
Sigh, expected, but was hoping to be wrong..
There's more to the album so I'll continue to be hopeful

Sounds great, drums are fucking mega! Everything they've released so far has been really different but all ranging from good to great. Very optimistic for the album  |

I think the similarity is slight at best, just that piano hammering away in the background theres more pace in two of a kind or it feels like there is, Remember is more sparse. Its a b-side too. I'm not to bothered, its not in the The Roller's league in terms of borrowing.

Interesting that it says Composer: "Archer" when you listen to it on Amazon. Where you see that? The file on Amazon is an embedded mp3 file. If you download the mp3 and look in the ID tag, Archer is listed as 'composer'. It's worth pointing out that the tag for The Roller is exactly the same. |

The verses always sound like they need an extra word or two, a recurring sense of incomplete phrasing is usually a sign of dodgy songwriting. Not really defending it, but just playing devil's advocate: Could that be because BDI are purposely writing songs with less clutter in the verses so Liam can pull it off live? Again, writing weaker songs for the benefit of your declining singer isn't a great reason to give, but it could be true. |

I'm not going to waste a dozen posts arguing about it, but if you let 10 people listen to 30 sec clips of both songs I'd bet none of them would describe their sonic alignment as "slight at best". A bid more speed and that's about it.

It sounds bad,sorry.I hope it has a melody somewhere else on the song,otherwise it is in the BTL category for me.

I don't want to argue about it either, you see a massive similarity and I don't. I'm not gonna get my balls in a twist about a Beady Eye b-side that sounds to me slightly like a Lennon song from 40 years ago. If its decent when hearing the whole thing it certainly won't lessen any pleasure I take from it. |

Some people really want BDI to rip off Lennon, don't they?
This is similar to Remember, but until we got the whole song, we can't say anything at all about whether it's a rip-off. For all we know it still has a great chorus with a totally different melody.

Hats off to these people who take the time to go over John Lennon's entire discography with a fine tooth comb looking for a song that sounds similar to a new Beady eye song. Yawn! Sounds ok though, will need to hear the full song a good few times to make my mind up on it.

Don't really care about the "Remember" resemblance. If a song is good, it's good. And that it has the same chord progression as another song i like that's fine.
Seriously, everything on the radio today sound almost exactly like the song played before it. Pop, RnB, Rap, Rock, Techno have all melted into one mess of a genre these last few years. And very few artists are willing to make something different. And different today does not meen, something completely new.
Basically every rock/pop chord progression has been done before, so if a band love them some Lennon/Beatles/Who/Pistols, it's not very suprising they take something from that and put it into their own song.
I prefer a BE tune to sound similar to something great Lennon made 41 years ago, rather than a fuckin' fake pop/rnb song.
Almost everything on the popular charts today sounds the same. To listen to some BE feels refreshing even though it's been done before.

As an avid Lennon fan, listening to Two of a Kind for the first time popped Remember right into my head. Not that this is a bad thing. It's just the constant piano that makes it sound similar. Still, I want to listen to the full song before making any judgments. |
