    Those days are far enough in the past to make this entire MTV Unplugged an exercise in nostalgia, a sentiment underscored by the rose-colored solo song "Once," but Liam is still in fine form, making this record an endearing and entertaining listen for anybody who shares fond memories of the glory days of Cool Britannia.

    The Liam-written songs are largely a drag. ... But a few of Liam’s clunkers are elevated in the live format, helped greatly by the Hull crowd, recorded high in the mix.

    A string section and gospel choir barely add nuance to straight-ahead karaoke versions of Oasis classics and a few of Liam’s solo songs.

Obviously if your not a fan then this is unlikely to be your Damascus. The tracklisting is superb with a mix of vintage Oasis tracks and mostly his solo singles. It must have been hard to pick a set of songs for this such is the array of material he could have picked from his Oasis days but he has gone for tracks more or less tailored for this setting. There is an interesting take on "Some Might Say" and a mellower "Champagne Supernova". The inclusion of "Sad Song" is a masterstroke as is the omission of "Wonderwall". His voice is in great shape here too considering what its been through. Who would have thought that in 2020 it would be the younger Gallagher brother bringing out great records year after year.… Full Review »

    It's time to accept that the talented Gallagher was Noel and not Liam. I know that's controversial for some but it's the truth.
