Beady Eye is the reincarnation of Oasis, minus Noel Gallagher. After Oasis split in 2009 following Noel's departure of the band to pursue a solo career, remaining members Gem Archer, Andy Bell, Chris Shamrock, and Noel's younger brother Liam Gallagher kept playing music, and that's how Beady Eye came to be.

So for those who were saddened by Oasis's disbandment, just envision Beady Eye as the same band, and pretend that they just out out a decent album. In all seriousness, though, the tracks carry themselves well enough. The first half of the record is mostly straight up rock, with Liam Gallagher's distinguishing vocals leading the way, but the final songs do slow down a little bit, giving it a nice cohesion. All in all, it's a good listen.
Favorite tracks: Again, The Roller stands out. But For Anyone is a very pleasant and smooth sounding pop track that almost sounds Beatlesesque. Kill For a Dream is one of the first songs that slows down, and then the album ends with two ballads The Beat Goes On and The Morning Son, the latter of which is a lengthy epic of a ballad.
