Sep 23, 2019Why Me? Why Not. is indeed comparable to one of Macca’s recent solo albums, a little modern, a little throwback, a lot of good stuff. Don’t miss out on the resurgence of Liam Gallagher while you’re hoping against hope for the return of his former band.
-
Sep 10, 2019Gallagher remains an excellent interpreter of others’ lyrics, but he takes the skill further here and it results in a collection of classic songs drenched in melody, accompanied by clearly expressed, noticeable lyrics.
-
MojoSep 10, 2019There are a few other naff moments, but Gallagher's voice carries everything, sounding fantastic, high and bright in the mix. [Oct 2019, p.82]
-
UncutSep 19, 2019Why Me? Why Not. ticks a number of boxes for his fanbase. [Nov 2019, p.25]
-
Sep 20, 2019It wouldn’t be a Gallagher record without an ode to John Lennon, and Why Me? Why Not checks all the boxes.
-
Sep 27, 2019Why Me? Why Not. largely succeeds when Gallagher allows himself to dig deep into his past and get a bit personal.
-
Sep 19, 2019There’s attitude aplenty from the very outset. In fact, its first track, “Shockwave,” contains the clarion call of electric guitars combined with bluesy harp, at least partially giving the lie to chest-thumping lyrics Liam delivers with an almost audible sneer. The repetition of the refrain might be better served with an extra dollop or two of spontaneity, and while this somewhat stilted production might well be expected from Kurstin and Wyatt–who’ve worked with the likes of Adele and Lady Gaga–it doesn’t lessen the dampening effect on this performance and that of “Now That’ I’ve Found You.”
