Here's the review for DGSS from The Fly. This is the first review which doesnt sound too positive. They dont really have anything good to say about it. Maybe the album isn't all what its cracked up to be?  |

I don't believe this review. They didn't even mention TBGO which according to every other review is the highpoint of the album.
This is a type of review that I am expecting a bit of though. People determined to hate it.
And to say that DGSS is a natural progression from what Oasis did with DOYS is absolutely insane.
Although I do like the last line. "That gear they're in, is it reverse?"

"Dull"? Sounds like the kind of review an Oasis hater would write. What we heard so far isn't dull at all, guess it's just someone who has a grudge against the Gallaghers. gdforever, it does mention TBGO, as an example of "drowsy balladeering"... |

Shocking review, they seem to be just out to give them bad reviews. The way they described the songs , well ye could do that with loads of songs . Hey Jude a bad song because it has a bit of 'na na na na' ? Wouldnt believe that at all tbh

The guy basically says he also didn't like DOYS, which I believe was the best Oasis album of the 2000s. I wouldn't worry about this guy's opinion too much.

c mon , he s just a HATER.
He didnt like Oasis at all and he doesnt like Beady Eye.
that "review" is such a shame for The Fly .
not cause the verdict is bad , but cause it makes the reviewer sound like a 12 years old fan of beyonce who owns probably one or 2 cds (now collections of 2009 & 2010)!
DULL DULL DULL...

Ouch.
But to be fair, he;s not the only reviewer who has said that the lyrics are pretty bad.
Its not really what he said, its the way he said it. Looking at some of the songs which have come out, I would agree that BTL is a bad attempt at "trying to rock out" and that there is something that seems flat (not dull) about say The Roller.
For me its the way he said it, not what he said. If he had taken out the word "dull" and said "flat", then I could handle that. If he had just said that the lyrics werent up to par, instead of calling them a "pile of crap.". Its not really what he said, its how he said it.
note: unfortunately I think the Rolling Stone and Pitchfork reviews will say the same thing. Pitchfork will be a lot more meaner, Rolling Stone not as mean.

If they are are I couldn't give two fucks, americans view Oasis and BDI quite a lot differently to us over here. |

The real measuring stick is SPIN. Been saying it for a long time. SPIN has almost always given Oasis good reviews. If BDI gets a lukewarm review from them, then I might get worried. |

There's not really any constructive criticism in this. It's incredibly average writing. It's obvious that the person writing it has let his emotions get the better of him (obviously an Oasis hater) which has therefore contributed to an atrocious review.
Fair enough, give it two stars all you want, but for god's sake be constructive. As a result, I'm not taking anything from the review.

Strange though as in the review slagging off BTL the same reviewer was positive about DOYS...obviously a hater with an agenda against Liam, not such a shock
"the fact is that ‘Bring The Light’ sounds unbelievably dated; massively out of time, like a Neanderthal trying to operate an Apple Mac with his forehead. Amazing, really, when you consider that Oasis' final offering, 'Dig Out Your Soul' was their finest album in a decade. On this evidence, Beady Eye sound like Oasis in regression. No. We can't believe it either."

The only point that I will willing believe before hearing the full album is that the lyrics are crap but I expected that anyway.

I was going to mention his choice of songs to download. A pretty disappointing review both in score and nature. Score there was always going to be some lower marks whatever Beady Eye put out.
I hate reviews like this that don't really tell you much about the songs apart from generalities.
But overall most reviews have been positive so far, but there is only so much one can take from a review, as at the end of the day we will all review it when we hear the album!

I am not surprised that a critic would take a dive on DGSS. He does make some sense, but overall, no album ever gets sweepingly good reviews. This is the first really poor rating we've seen to date, so we can throw it out with the high and get a better average of the album, kinda like judging sports. Overall we are still sitting at about a 7/10 which is around average. Could we really expect much more than that?  |

My excitement for this album has really gone down. And its not because of the review. Its just getting drawn out so much, and it seems like with everyday expectations are going up.
Every BDI song that has come out, I've heard on the day they came out. But I havent listened to them since. I'm probably in the minority, but I just dont go out looking to re-listen to a BDI track. Even when it comes on my IPOD on shuffle, I kinda listen to it for 30 seconds and then skip it. Idk, maybe I'm just drained and I just want to hear the album already. But man, I just cant seem to get excited about this.

^ not my experience. shitload of plays for SOTS, TR and FLW. Much more excited than the last years of Oasis with their energyless songs, inconsistent album track listings and crap art. Give me the energy of BDI any day!

Give me the energy of BDI any day! I said I was in the minority. As for the albums and inconsistency, none of us has heard the album. So its hard to say that there is no part of the BDI album that is inconsistent yet. Dont know, just not excited. So far BDI has released some okay songs, some decent songs, and good songs, but they havent really released anything that has grabbed me, |

^ I tend to lean your way on this one. The longer they drag this out the lower my expectations get, and personally I am not geeking out about it anymore. Will I buy it? For sure, but it will end up in my iTunes getting spins along with everything else.

Maybe Noel really does have the right idea being closed mouthed until the last minute. It'll be 3 months from the first taste to the album release. I consider myself a big fan...but noone can maintain the level of hype that BDI want with nothing but a tune released once a month.
You know what would have been great? If BDI had truly treated this as a brand new band. Gigging to build the hype. If they had recorded their album and then gone out on the road trying to prove themselves. Letting people hear the songs live and in that way getting people revved for when they could get an album with those tunes on them.
Wouldn't that have been amazing?
You can say that pirating of concerts may limit their sales...but I don't think a live concert, even of the best quality, is a replacement for a well produced album.

This guy is obviously an Oasis hater.
Where the comparison with DOYS comes from I do not know - it's nothing like that album in ANY sense.
If it's not his cup of tea then the best writers will say that, but good writers are still able to be objective about what other listeners will like.
This reviewer is just being purely negative for the sake of being negative.
