I remember reading about it in an article posted here or reddit, I don't recall which one TBH but it was something like the one below. It said "tracks" not specifically Chinatown which would definitely change the meaning of his comment.
I think the other one may have been FWIW. I remember watching the interview is all. And the question was asked specifically about Chinatown. I'm pretty sure it was before AYW had even come out? The video is in the link. Weller doesn’t mention any song titles. www.nme.com/news/music/liam-gallagher-paul-weller-slam-twitter-as-you-were-beady-eye-interview-2153514/amp

Okay, he says: "I've heard a few songs. The singles, maybe. "I'm just glad for him. He's got his thing together and out there doing it at the moment so I'm pleased for him. "Musically, I think it sounds like Beady Eye, so I wasn't surprised. I'm just glad he's out there doing it. "The lyrics are pretty pony I thought, a bit sub-standard." So okay, it wasn't in relation to Chinatown. It does, however, just reference the singles (a few songs). At that stage, the singles were: Wall Of Glass, Chinatown, For What It's Worth. Greedy Soul, Bold etc were released as online singles or whatever after. So, even if Weller had just heard the three singles, I think his criticism of the lyrics is fair in the case of Chinatown and FWIW. And maybe that's why thinking back to it I automatically assumed he was talking about Chinatown as those lyrics are honestly up there with the worst in any Gallagher song (including I Can See A Liar/Sitting By The Fire - which in all honesty at least they work in that instance even if they are shite). He didn't really say anything against the album as a whole as he hadn't heard it (or claimed not to have done).

I don’t judge this either way, but One of Us could very well have been on Hard-Fi’s second album. This tune has Hard-Fi all over it. Suburban Knights.
Except the below has a big fuck orrrfffffff chorus, as well as a killer guitar than I can play on the air when I rock out. [Damn it, Liam].

Am I the one that finds it fascinating how most people with most songs always have a different experience from the first listen to the 10th, 20th etc.
With 'One Of Us' for example, I initially wasn't that impressed. I thought it was good but not that good. I expected something very different and was slightly underwhelmed but now after at least 30+ listens I fucking love it and its just under 'Once' for me now.
I just find it interesting how our brains essentially can't process all these new sounds as fast as we want and that's why initially we dislike the song, find it underwhelming etc but after a while we become accustomed to the sound and hence why we end up loving the song and have a completely different experience. It's happened with every song of WMWN so far for me. I remember it back in 2013 it happened with 'Flick of The Finger' I really hated it on first listen but now I easily one of BE best songs.
Just a random thought of the day.
Liam really is in incredible form right now. Knebworth 2020 is absolutely possible without a doubt he'll sell 100,000 mark my words.
Once 9.5/10 One of Us 8.5/10 Shockwave 8/10 The River 7/10

Nice. So Damon Mcmahon wrote the lyrics and Parker Kindred on drums and Nick Zinner on guitar. Interesting stuff.

Has anyone received a free download link or got the mp3 download unlocked in Liam's official store?

It's brilliant. Listened to it again this morning back to back for about 30 mins.
It's just a great song, great vocal.

1 minor thing I don't like.. The "In tiiiimmmmee" bit at the end of the "chorus'" . Just think it's unessasary

'One of Us' reached 210k streams on Spotify after a bit more than one day. It took 'This is the place' about a week to achieve about the same level (235k).

You were always one of us - in time. Probably Liam's contribution to the song ? (kidding, dont get all angry Liam people) agreed though, it's weird, unnecessary and lower the song quality. Could have been replaced by a gospel back vox or something. Or a guitar part.

One of Us in its released form would have really added summat to SOTSOG.

You were always one of us - in time. It would be cool if it was the first line of the second verse and they did something else in the second chorus to make it end more naturally. (Preferably break into a new bigger chorus before the outro, that would be epic)

I said months ago about my reservations about how quick everything has been done and i hate to be like told you so cos theres no one who wanted it to be flawless more than me. But its not giving the songs the full potential by doing things the way they did over a couple of weeks.

I have to admit i thought it weird that they were shooting a childhood album for One of Us, it fits better with "once" themes.
