Oct 7, 2017While Liam fails to truly separate himself from his Oasis routes, he makes up for this by delivering a rocking good, catchy-chorus filled album that perhaps a little bloated, benefits from a strong vocal presence from the still mad-for it Manchurian. Clearly he doesn't need Noel anymore. Sad for die hard Oasis fans but great for the rest of us who moved on years ago.

Oct 6, 2017This is a great record! Fans of Oasis in particular, if not White Album-era Beatles in general, will find a lot to like here. Yet the album manages to sound thoroughly modern, and not simply an exercise in nostalgia.

Oct 12, 2017Liam Gallagher is back. After the mixed feelings about Beady Eye, this album is complete. Mixing rock n roll tunes with beautiful ballads, this is the best music Liam has done since Dig Out Your Soul.
Personal favourites: Greedy Soul, When I'm in Need, Bold, and the three Bsides whitch could have easily been on the album. Mad fer it -
Oct 11, 2017The first album from a Gallagher I've wanted to listen to more than once since the 90s. I honestly wasn't expecting much, but this is really quite pleasant to listen to.

Nov 2, 2017The first three songs were very lame and uninviting, but this work had an important turnaround in engaging musical tactics after that, mostly being quite harmonically fun with a few strong and enjoyable melodic choruses until the end, however the whole album didn’t end up amounting to anything too exciting or astonishing. My Score: 123/180 (Good) = 6.8/10

Oct 10, 2017As a long-time Oasis fan/apologist, this album was exactly what I expected from Liam. Lyrics didn't really take the forefront, but were less cliché ridden than the songs on his previous Beady Eye albums. There was a good mix of slow, ballad-y songs and sneering rock tunes. I still enjoy Noel's High Flying Birds albums more, but this album is a really solid effort from Liam.

Oct 15, 2017Liams new solo album "As You Were" is a pleasant surprise. It's much better than the Beady Eye albums and the best songs on the album even rival Noel's best solo efforts. The songs vary a bit in quality which is why I have "only" scored it a solid 7 but Oasis fans will definelty (maybe) enjoy this. Happy that we are now getting quality albums from both brothers!

Nov 24, 2017His voice back and Live is alright.
His Songwriting skill is improving day by day.
For example,
All of the songs on this album are much higher quality than "Little James"
The first impression was good but too quickly tired of it...
I do not want to keep listening... -

Jan 5, 2020That was a great kick-start to the solo career of Liam. The album brought many of the former Oasis’ guidelines. It sounds good since the first listen. Personally, the album is very catchy, but the hype was gone in a few days. Best tunes: “Wall of Glass”, “Paper Crown”, and “For What It’s Worth”.

Jun 20, 2018Álbum surpreendente de Liam, mais próximo do Oasis do que qualquer álbum solo de Noel. Rocks diretos e baladas memoráveis. É só rock n roll, mas... eu adoro isso. / Surprisingly good álbum from Liam, closer to Oasis than any album from his brother’s solo carrer. Mixing direct rock n roll songs with inspiring ballads. It’s only rock n roll but... I like it.

Jun 5, 2021Unexpected great debut-solo album, the voice is back, amazing ballads, awesome production. Our Kid is back where he belongs.

May 13, 2022A triumphant debut solo album. After the failure of beady eye, few thought they'd ever see LG again, let alone with solo music. His choice to collaborate with songwriters pays off with some incredible tunes

Oct 16, 2017Gallagher is never going to win awards for originality, but he has definitely progressed musically with this solo debut.

Oct 12, 2017Subtlety is an early casualty, lyrics and riffs hitting with all the grace and charm of a sledgehammer.

Oct 12, 2017The swaggering beasts of Wall Of Glass and Bold kick it off and Greedy Soul waves a musical truncheon in your face as producers Greg Kurstin and Dan Grech- Marguerat find the jugular on songs powered by riffs, choruses, hooks and lashings of attitude to keep up with their swaggering frontman.
