    Oh dear, oh dear. This album is a real stinker. It's hard to believe some of these songs were written by the same man who wrote Oasis' "I'm out of time". The limit of their creativity was summed up in one track, titled: "Beatles and Stones". Hard to imagine where they got that name from.

    The only redeeming features were "Four letter word" and the fact that Liam's voice hasn't sounded this    Oh dear, oh dear. This album is a real stinker.

    The only redeeming features were "Four letter word" and the fact that Liam's voice hasn't sounded this good in five years. If you're an Oasis fan you might want to check it out for yourself. If you're on the fence; avoid like the plague.    … Expand

    The erroneously titled debut, Different Gear, Still Speeding, plays much like a latter-day Oasis album. [May 2011, p.83]

    Different Gear, Still Speeding shows that the band is comfortable with themselves and their follow-up has every chance to be a stronger album – especially if they are brave enough to include more styles, even if they won't move beyond their British Invasion inspirations.
