link"A couple weeks ago I wrote complimentary things about “Flick Of The Finger,” the first track to be released from BE, the second album from Beady Eye (aka Oasis sans Noel Gallagher). Now we’ve got another new one, and man, I like this even more than the first. Dave Sitek produced BE, and there are definitely textural and instrumental similarities to TV On The Radio here (especially in the incredible horns that propel the track). It’s retro as hell, yeah, but Sitek treats that (essential) aspect of the band’s identity with a wink, and in doing so, makes it feel oddly contemporary. Liam Gallagher has got a million effects on his voice, to the extent that I can’t tell if he’s actually singing this thing at all, but whatever the hell is happening, it sounds fantastic. Listen."

Beady Eye getting a good review on Stereogum is very positive.
The three most popular articles there at the moment are about Bright Eyes, My Morning Jacket and Deerhunter. These are absolutely the kinds of great bands that Beady Eye want to be considered alongside.

Maybe a slight bit on the chorus but absolutely no affects on the verses. nah, its not really like a zero effects recording. But its really up in the mix, it drives the whole song and produces this big contrast with the arrangement, that moves very smoothly. |

This malarkey about Liam not having any effects on his vocals is bullshit. I produce music and I know what I'm talking about, there hasn't been as much double tracking but there is absolutely vocal effects happening, but its not a reverb or delay which is what usually makes voices sound more epic, instead there is a slight distortion on Liams vocals as evidenced in FOTF and SBOTA, think like a fuzz effect. And yeah it's okay...but like if you listen to Stem 7, thats a clean raw Liam vocal...you whip some reverb on that baby and its what we're all after...
See this remix for what I mean:
The guy whos remixed this has used Liam's vocals to better effect than Sitek. Yeah I said it lol.
But things are looking great for Beady Eye, the tunes are certainly growers. Bring on the album.

I great the feeling that Siteks involvement will mean a lot of critical praise for BDI.

Right now their deep-seated disdain for BDI is battling with their love of a trendy producer like Sitek. My guess is they'll find a way to insult BDI's songs while complementing Siteks production.  |

There's always something isn't there. You two especially can't just look at it as what it is. A pretty good review. There's always a reason behind someone might like it that never has anything to do with the fact that one of them wrote the song. In the Steve Lillywhite thread quite a few people were saying 'Oh you can't polish a turd with production' and now that they did something quite a few like people really like you can apparently. |

God bless. |

God bless. Well I enjoy the two songs thus far, we'll wait and see about the album as a whole  I'm not trying to sway her though I've been here long enough to know the lady's not for turning  Its just tiring that even when there is positivity about them people feel the need to explain it away rather than just say 'good work lads (sitek included)' |

I think FOTF is good but not amazing. The production makes it interesting. And SBOTA I like less and I said the production didn't do anything for me. I'm still of the opinion you can't polish a turd... Don't know why you are throwing other people's opinions at me like that should change my mind about anything. I don't care if others like a song I am not keen on just like you shouldn't care I don't like a song that you do. But obviously you do care...because you get really upset by my opinions weirdly. But we're not talking about actual opinions here we're talking about a review by hipsters that base their slant on whether they like an artist not that actual music. Which you were a massive proponent of when a not so great review came out for DGSS. If anyone is the hypocrite it's you. But regardless it's insulting the fickleness of the reviewers around the world not an insult of BDI. Take a chill pill. Who elected you the officially defender of all things that could possibly be interpreted as less than flattering the the mighty BDI. We get it...you love them unreservedly...you don't need to prove it anymore |

Tom needs to take a chill pill What happened to only caring about the music and if you like the music? Why should you can about GD's opinion? She wasn't even directly talking to you. Why should you care if everyone give BDI a pat on the back? For someone who doesn't care, it must be "very tiring" to care enough what someone thinks of a review. If you like the music then like it. Simples. Don't see why it should be tiring. |

Even the pretentious will give their music a fairer shake for the involvement with Dave Sitek. Which was what I was saying before tomlivesforever got up on his high horse. |
