Different Gear, Still Speeding by Beady Eye
Different Gear, Still Speeding is an album by Beady Eye, released in 2011. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 5 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “The Roller”, on 5 lists with a best position of #46.
Different Gear, Still Speeding is Beady Eye's debut, out in the UK on 28 February 2011 after a Japanese release five days earlier, and it's what the rest of Oasis sounded like with Noel Gallagher gone. When the chief songwriter walked in August 2009, Liam Gallagher, Gem Archer and Andy Bell carried on under a new name with touring drummer Chris Sharrock, and with Steve Lillywhite producing they made a record where everybody had a hand in the playing.
It leans on retro Britpop swagger with a dose of psychedelia, Liam sneering over the top as if nothing had happened. "The Roller" gave them their only UK top 40 single, and the album entered the chart at number three, shifting 66,817 copies in its first week. Q reckoned it was Liam's best work since (What's the Story) Morning Glory?
