I don't disagree in the slightest: Weller is a god, his "review" was a backhanded compliment, and frankly, Noel may not have a "cabal", but he and his mates definitely have each other's back, and while Liam may go over the top with his conspiracy theories, he's also not wholly wrong. However... Emojis were a fucking mistake.

People need to stop to jump on a bandwagon. If Weller doesn't like Liam's album and if Liam strikes back Weller's comment, it doesn't bother me at all. I love Weller and I love Liam Gallagher. It's all matters for me. I dont like Weller's music. But he's right, it sounds like Beady Eye. A better Beady Eye. I'm a huge Weller fan since his The Jam years. Saw him live for 11 times and met him in person several times. But I don't care if he likes Liam's album or not. I don't need to agree with everything he says. I disagree with you. To me (and many others on here as well), this album "As You Were" is much better than DGSS and BE. I love this album. It's a great "come back" album for Liam and I'm very happy and happy for him too. Although I still think Beady Eye had a good potential with their second album BE. It was a shame that so many things happened after this album came out (Gem's injury, tour had to be cancelled, Liam's love child) You are too sane for this forum. On topic: While I didn't like to see Beady Eye end (I think they were definitely growing as songwriters, and BE is a pretty good album), maybe it was for the best. Labels will give you the money and time to grow if you're a promising 20-year-old, but not when you're 40 and songwriting's never been your main talent. Andy landed on his feet with Ride's very successful comeback, Gem and Chris are back with Noel, and Liam hooked up with people who could elevate his own songwriting. They all came out ahead in the end.

If I was reviewing the first two or three singles I'd probably say the same thing, though Wall Of Glass is a belter, the Chinatown lyrics, while they've grown on me, are a bit cringeworthy. Add the fact that Weller needs to back up his mate Noel, he's been fairly diplomatic saying he's happy Liam is doing his thing. I heard Rob from BRMC saying pretty much the same thing, though he said it sounded like Oasis rather than Beady Eye. It doesn't stop the actual album being a really good effort and a brilliant success for Liam.

I think Weller is probably the greatest British songwriter of all time but if he's only heard a couple of songs then I'm not interested in hearing him pass judgement on a album. Its worthless. Are ye fuckin’ high?! He’s a million years away from Lennon & McCartney.

A million years even seems too close.

Weller hasn't said much wrong. If he reckons some of the lyrics are pony it's quite possible FWIW is one of he tracks he's heard.
However, he should give the album a listen, he'd realise it far surpasses anything by Beady Eye.

Could have been though I think the Chinatown lyrics are ok. Anyway it's rich coming from a guy who is more famous for #Wellend these days than he is for making good music.

I think Weller and Noely are both lying, course they’ve heard the album. It’s their way of belittling Liam by saying it’s not important enough to listen to. Shame.

haha just read that Weller tweet asking which of 3 Weller albums everyone is listening to. It's amazing how many people tweeted As You Were back, Liam has himself a bit of a Twitter Army by the looks of it. The majority of them managed to be both cutting and remarkably polite: such as "I'm listening to Liam Gallagher, far better than anything you have put out recently", "I'm sorry to say Paul, they're all shite, not a patch on As You Were" and "LG's Carnation, Best ever".

I love Weller but he fell off the cliff with his quality output in the last 8 years. Liam's album is reminiscent to me of Heavy Soul. An updated throwback of the sounds that had worked for them in the past. Still great to see live (saw him earlier this month) but his set is hardly a crowd pleaser. 3 Style Council songs and 2 Jam songs. He should take heed of Tears for Fears pony lyrics. Kick out the Style bring back the Jam.

Weller simply brown-nosing Noels ringpiece. As is done vice-versa. Nothing to see here. ![](https://imgflip.com/s/meme/Face-You-Make-Robert-Downey-Jr.jpg)
