I think he felt pressurized to write certain types of songs that fit the Oasis formula and while he had the odd great success with Turn Up The Sun and Four Letter Word most of them ended up sounding very uninspired and almost like when someone tries to write an Oasis song to a cliche with Kill For A Dream probably being the worst culprit.

I just wish he stuck to what he was good at and they fit Liam's voice around it. One of Beady Eye's biggest faults was that the music was all too retro rock n roll sounding. I'd personally love to hear Liam giving a different delivery on a melancholy shoegazy type song like this. This is a brilliant song and while Andy sounds great here his voice is probably the weakest aspect of it. I don't think Liam's voice on BE was particularly great but it gave a vulnerable, melancholy tone to some of their songs and with the right effects on his voice he could pull something like this off. If this was a Beady eye song with Liam on vocals with a few droney, distortion and echo'y effects it would be considered one of their very best songs.



I disagree that his music is psychedelic though. The closest he got was Nature of Reality which was only psychedelic by the late 60's standards and even then that song was a really poor experiment with a little Helter Skelter rip off as the main hook. He's an artist who writes great shoegaze music. I wish that was incorporated into later day Oasis and Beady Eye more.
