here's the translation. it's certainly not the best. to make it faster, I used google and changed a few things that were wrong. but the original text has many expressions that are typical here and don't have a proper english equivalent




An Oasis without Noel
Beady Eye. The new band of former Oasis Liam Gallagher returns to the sources with their CD “Different Gear Still Speading”

Finally, the waters were divided at the site of anthems of the nineties that was Oasis. The logic is that by casting off, Noel was charged with all the pop sensibility (Wonderwall, Live Forever, Don’t Look Back In Anger, etc.), while his brother Liam took all those moments of hooligan pride and arrogance (Supersonic, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Roll With It, among many others). Each Gallagher on his own. Listening to Beady Eye and watching Noel’s peaceful being, we can ensure that the speculation was right.

Sheltered in classic rock, unpretentious and very informed, Liam bursts his throat in Different Gear, Still Speeding, a favorable debut. Let’s forget about the singer renewing his british rock big mouth Club license by asserting that his new album is better than Definitely Maybe, that stainless debut of his former band. Nor do we stay with flippant statements like: "Beady Eye will be bigger than Oasis." Surely this has to do with the epic of one of the most expressive voices in recent decades.

Ignoring comparisons and controversies, Liam, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock (ie: Oasis without Noel) return to the sources and build songs in the shape of three minutes singles. Combining the unbridled energy of punk with the thrusts of the glam rock of T Rex and Gary Glitter, that brings the Beatle sentimentality to the surface, Beady Eye get an optimal outcome for their debut. Obviously, the quartet doesn’t think about changing the course of contemporary popular music.

In fact, if you will, we are not going to find anything different that projects such as Ocean Colour Scene, Heavy Stereo (led by Archer) or Cast, among others, already tried when Britpop appeared. Even though since the start and with his band on fire, Liam repeats as mantra "Nothing lasts forever" (Four Letter Word). A fire that spreads to the second track (Millionaire) where the spirit of Jagger and Richard seems to roam. From there to the redemptive chorus that The Beatles made trademark, there is only one step and one of the highlights of the feast: The Roller.

Precisely, in Beatles and Stones (along with Standing On The Edge Of The Noise, another rocker) Gallagher and his boys merge more rhythm & blues roots of the two gods above. Then, using a harmonica that crosses composition and gives a route vibe, Wind Up Dream rescues the excitement of The Faces, while its aesthetic ally, Bring The Light, is based on black choirs and a dizzying pace. For the next step, For Anyone is built from an acoustic guitar, planning an irresistible campfire song. Next to it, Kill For A Dream is one of those characteristic Noel Gallagher redeeming ballads.

Upon the end, that psychedelia Oasis always tried to explore is projected with Wigwam and The Morning Son (2011 version of "Champagne Supernova”?). In the midst of them, Three Ring Circus and The Beat Goes On (pure Paul McCartney pop style preciousness), two fresh-style exercises that will delight themselves and others. Liam did it... Will Noel?
