That Smallman feedback (that he couldn’t be arsed writing himself) in full:
In an unexpected twist of musical fate, John Squire and Liam Gallagher, two titans of British rock, have joined forces to create an album. I felt compelled to give it a listen. Smallman senior, ever the musical enthusiast since his days ruining the careers of Eternal and Louise Nurding, generously paid for the CD and beers, ensuring that our listening party was well-equipped.
Upon first play, the room was filled with an eclectic mix of Squire’s signature guitar riffs and Gallagher’s unmistakable vocal snarl. The fusion was surprisingly harmonious, weaving together a tapestry of sound that was, in a word, nice. It wasn’t just me who thought so; me Julie, with her discerning taste in music, found herself nodding along.
What made this experience particularly unique was our choice to order the sans cheese version of the album. This pared-down edition featured only four tracks, but each was a distilled masterpiece of the duo’s experimentations. Stripped of any potential cheesy filler, the limited selection showcased the raw talent and synergy between Squire and Gallagher.
This album, with its blend of gritty vocals and intricate guitar work, is a testament to the unexpected magic that can happen when two distinct artists come together. It’s a reminder that music, in its purest form, knows no boundaries. For those willing to explore the less trodden paths of rock, this collaboration between John Squire and Liam Gallagher is a journey worth taking.
