Guns n'Roses still pull this crap but the current lineup still tours to millions of fans. <br /><br />A cover album with different lyrics...again, I don't think that Oasis the 2nd ripping off the Beatles in 2011 is the same thing as the Stones ripping off Sgt. Pepper in '67 was. At least Beady Eye does it with panache, while the Stones sound like they just want to be done with the song so they can score. How you didn't like "Kill for a Dream" or "Four Letter Word" (which may bear some similarity to "Live and Let Die," admittedly) is beyond me. But I can say that I am normally drawn to passion in music, at least when it's done correctly. My Strokes blog takes the piss out of some of them, which is why a lot of people were shocked that I'd go that far. I can be objective about the band, but I don't think this album is worthy of critical disdain. It's a good, promising first album, but not a life-changer like Definitely Maybe or Morning Glory.Kyle Moodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13906682194620775311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1024601136131203836.post-33641193166795767902011-03-23T10:45:22.785-04:002011-03-23T10:45:22.785-04:00by the way, the blog tried to fuck me again. it s...by the way, the blog tried to fuck me again. it said it couldn't process my request. luckily, learning from past mistakes, i copied the article before i tried to post it. this could get frustrating, however.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00916045731595181576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1024601136131203836.post-60338801934969945952011-03-23T10:41:41.423-04:002011-03-23T10:41:41.423-04:00(sorry, i just saw this. my bad.)
moody, at some...(sorry, i just saw this. my bad.)<br /><br />moody, at some point i'm sure you and i will agree on an album. unfortunately, today is not the day.<br /><br />i would first like to start by saying i have an undying and unbridled hatred for oasis. <br /><br />i hate the fact they have so many fans who love their music and shell out the bread to go to a show and they can't keep from fighting for two hours. they have ruined many, many shows because of their selfishness. you aren't there for yourselves, you are there to put on a show for the people who came to see your whiny asses.<br /><br />i hate the way the way their music is so (can't think of a word for the condescending noises coming out of my mouth, so imagine a crying baby mixed with the sound of a duck being slowly ground up in a wood chipper). i just plain don't like them.<br /><br />however, i put all that aside for the sake of objectivity and listened to this album. i think i've said this before, but in case i haven't, i will run the risk of repeating myself. i always listen to the albums being reviewed before reading said review. that way i form my own opinions first. so when i read your review you said many of the things i was thinking, but you took them as a positive. i did not.<br /><br />this album is a cover album with different lyrics. the opener is 'live and let die.' the second track is a watered down 'with a little help from my friends.' jerry lee lewis should lay the wood for the abortion of 'bring the light.' <br /><br />correct me if i am wrong, but you were very disparaging of the stones for ripping off the beatles. but here, you are praising oasis jr. for the same thing. <br /><br />as far as the lyrics go, i was underwhelmed at the elementary content. there just wasn't a song you could sink your teeth into, or that sunk its teeth into you. none seemed to stand out or have a lasting effect. <br /><br />maybe this review was doomed from the start. i say i tried to be objective, but some of my hatred for oasis seeped in. or, perhaps, your love of oasis seeped into your review. this is like me trying to be objective reviewing a springsteen album. never going to happen. <br /><br />beady eye talked of its ability to stand the test the time in beatles and stones. i really, really hope that doesn't happen.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00916045731595181576noreply@blogger.com
