As You Were (Zoetrope Vinyl)

In the latest offering from the ever-controversial Liam Gallagher, "As You Were" on Zoetrope Vinyl, we are once again brought into the tumultuous world of the infamously outspoken former Oasis frontman. The album is a rollercoaster of emotions, with Gallagher's signature gravelly voice taking us through tales of love, loss, and everything in between. Tracks like "Wall of Glass" and "For What It's Worth" showcase Gallagher's undeniable talent for crafting infectious melodies and anthemic choruses that stick in your head long after the record has finished spinning. The instrumentation on the album is solid and well-produced, with hooks that will have you tapping your foot and singing along in no time. However, it wouldn't be a Liam Gallagher album without a bit of attitude, and tracks like "Greedy Soul" and "You Better Run" deliver just that. These songs see Gallagher at his most unapologetic, with lyrics that cut straight to the bone and leave you feeling like you've just been punched in the gut (in the best way possible, of course). Overall, "As You Were" is a solid addition to Gallagher's solo discography, showcasing his knack for writing songs that are equal parts catchy and heartfelt. While some may dismiss him as a relic of the Britpop era, we here at Pitchfork can't help but admire his ability to continually evolve and stay relevant in the ever-changing landscape of the music industry. A must-listen for fans of British rock and roll.
