thehindutimes8 there is hope out there man As Charlie Steiner once said Follow me to freedom! Tame Impala is the best recent band I've heard. Both of their albums I highly recommend. But I'm guessing you already know they are good.

It's just 'meh' in my opinion. Liam says they needed to get out of the '60s rut' and Flick of the Finger seemed to do that. But this tune is just rooted in the 60s.
When on earth will this band ever broaden their horizons and listen to something different, instead of rehasing 60s psychedlic work? Guys like Gem, Andy and Liam need to go away and listen to U2 or Radiohead.

C'mon man we should have a constructive conversation a dialogue. I think the song sucks it is a motley mixture of the Zombies, Manfred Mann Chapter 3, and The Beatles. Even the mix sounds a little strange, but I won't comment on that till I have a higher quality copy. When I compare this song against Tame Impala, Real Estate, Wild Nothing, and Beach House it does not stack up. Oh. I see. NOW you want to have a constructive dialogue. Funny. Those are nice groups, but they lack one discernible quality. BALLS. If you'd rather listen to synth pop re-treads circa 1987, be my guest. I find it humorous how you label Beady Eye retro, yet find this progressive in some odd manor. Clearly, you weren't around it hear it the first time...

Would`ve never thought to hear something like this from a Gallagher related band. Nice instrumentation and build up. The chorus is great!! Lyrics? Don`t really care. Liam Gallagher is singing. "We want a big chorus" "We want something different" This is what you get and all some people do is moan. What did people expect? It`s miles away from dgss.
Can`t wait to put it on in the morning and turn up the sound. FOTF and this are good songs, I hope there`s more to come. The production on this is ace again.
Imagine what Sitek woul´ve done to the latter Oasis Albums..

2 years to make this shite though. This song has now disappointed me as much as most of the tunes on HFB. Nah I liked the majority of the High Flying Birds tunes. That album held no comparison to an Oasis album but at least Noel's a consistent songwriter. I'm hoping some of the BE album tracks are better than this song though. If this and Flick of the Finger are the best they have to offer, things are not looking great. However I liked Wigwam or Morning Son better than any of the DGSS singles so, I'm staying optimistic about what we haven't heard. Don't get me wrong. HFB is solid and good. I enjoyed it, just not as much as I hoped I would. We heard half the songs before the album came out. So we know Noel didn't spend much time with it from that point. And he changed some of the tunes, they got worse, EOTR for instance. But all the new songs he created nearly sounded the same. They are good, sure, but most have gibberish lyrics and feel like they were slapped smashed without much effort. I didn't feel the soul on HFB like I did from DGSS. And I have that same feeling with SBOTA. No soul. Just pounded together like a Christmas ham. I did enjoy FOTF though. It is one of BDI's best in my opinion. Liam on Second Bite Of The Apple... “This is the one Sitek changed the most… There’s a lot more magic on this album.” When he says "There's a lot more magic on this album." maybe he means in spite of this song or something?

But I'm guessing you already know they are good. I'll check them out as I have never heard anything from them until just now. I am very picky with music though. And as an American, some of my taste would make many non U.S. music listeners vomit. Then again, most people I know(Americans) hate Oasis, BDI and Noel Gallagher, so fook them.

.............
The less said about the song the better........
I really wasn't expecting a lot but they somehow still managed to disappoint me.
I've heard the song only twice and that one-liner chorus is ALREADY grating my ears.
This really isn't much better than Bring The Light, although the production does try hard to cover up its deficiencies. The song just isn't there.
It's time we should just accept that they aren't capable song-writers, you're getting paid millions of dollars and these are the best lyrics you can come up with? Really?

When he says "There's a lot more magic on this album." maybe he means in spite of this song or something? I dunno, I wouldn't look too deep into their comments. They're trying to promote the album, so of course they're not going to tell us which tracks are good and which ones are shit. If this is the one Sitek changed the MOST and the majority of us aren't liking it that much, maybe that leaves us hope for the other ones. Or you could interpret that negatively and expect the worst

I really wish Beady Eye the best and I hope for their success in the music world, but it is hard to fight a losing battle when they pump out trash or weak material. I once read a youtube comment that went along the lines of "Beady Eye - Amazing ideas, poor execution". In this moment, I am incline to agree. They need to learn how to pick out singles, also. Singles are what draw in fans most of the time.

Tame Impala is one of the best bands around, Lonerism is an almost flawless record and it's already a classic in my eyes, just my opinion though

Ok I'm sorry but, the chorus and the "bridge" make the song unlistenable after a few listens.
It's the same stupid line repeated 400 times formula from DGSS all over again.
That being said, the b-side is even worse. This is an unprecedented level of ripping off and mediocrity even for BDI.
Honestly, even the largely panned DGSS was off to a better start.
BTL + FLW >> FOTF + SBOTA
Sons of the stage >>>>>>>> Dreaming of some space.
Hell, I think SOTS is still the best thing we've heard from BDI.
Maybe they should just stick to being a cover band instead of attempting to craft their own songs and failing miserably.

I'm more concerned with them releasing a song that satisfies their current fans, which this song hasn't done. Despite some of the marketing screw-ups with airing new songs, etc, I think Flick of the Finger was a great promotional track and one of the best things Beady Eye has done. This song, I just....I tried really hard to like it but I don't. The b-side I think is interesting even if it isn't a 'song'. I mean, I don't know the last time I bought a cd single so the idea for a single to have a good b-side isn't something that really matters to me to be honest. I like this because of the reverse which seems to be a teaser for Start Anew. Which is something cool for the fans.

Sure am glad this forum gets XTRMNTRSCREAM's amazing insights.
BREAKING NEWS: There are other bands that some people like more than a certain band.
Whoa shit, really? Almost like people have different tastes, man.
Who gives a fuck what bands you think are better than Beady Eye? It adds nothing to any discussion, and comes across as "oh look at me and how many good bands I listen to, praise me."
People shit on Beady Eye for being unoriginal, but it's the lowest of the low to not even be able to express an original thought on an internet forum.

I think they should make an attempt to please old and new fans, but I am betting this song will do just the opposite. It will drive away new fans as well as old ones. Most people determine a bands worth by their lead single. My question is if our boys actually enjoy this song enough or not? I suppose they must, but I don't see how. I know they don't have the best writing skills, but they have all made fantastic tunes even rivaling some of Noel's best work. Where is that magic now?

This song is wicked cool. Love the drums, great that they turned the bass up, the horns are sometimes buzzing too high especially in the 'word is up' bit, love Liam's voice and I absolutely love the chorus. That chorus is probably the best thing Beady Eye have done so far (gives me the chills), and I think this is just the beginning, BE is going to be a joy. And I really like that this is so unexpected to me, totally different to how I thought the album would sound.

I can defend the song because I have an opinion as well; what you say is not fact. I wouldn't mind members like you if you didn't speak as if what you say is fact, because it's not. You also tend to complain about everything Oasis related, so that's why I asked why are you on this forum. Nothing positive about either NGHFB or BE comes from you.

I don't think any of them are as talented of songwriters as Noel but Liam has written quality songs, Gem has a good one here or there, and Andy's work with Ride speaks for itself. The three of them together are capable of writing decent songs. Maybe this one is promoted as the lead single because the annoyingness of the chorus is mistaken for being catchy.. AKA radio single material. Who knows. But like I said, I'm staying optimistic. Although it's probably better to expect the worst so that you end up pleasantly surprised, in this case. I REALLY don't want to reread this thread so not sure if you mentioned it, but I do think Flick of the Finger is a good song. That's something.

now that I listened to it with attention, I don't think is as bad as some people say.
but yeah, it kinda fell short when compared to Flick...that said, I like the approach in these tunes in terms of instruments and sounds. Quite different from the sound collage AA made for Noel, this one is more like reinterpreting some rules.
