Aug 7, 2013Beady Eye with the help of Dave Sitek released a great second album, a modern sounding rock record with some of the most interesting recordings by any oasis member so far.An album that it stands on its own proudly and give us hope for even better things by this band.

Jan 15, 2014There is actually something "strange" in this second album, but I can't understand why there are so many awful critics, and I think that it is slightly better than Different Gear.

Mar 4, 2014BE is a magnificent second album, they seem to put in the music what they don't have in songwriting and it works really fine! Great rock album, space rock, psychedelic or whatever you want, that's one of the best "music" albums of 2013

Jan 22, 2016Great second album by Beady eye, an amazing and unexpected set of songs that fit almost perfectly together with the magic touch of D.Sitek. Btw, bonus tracks in the deluxe version of the album are even better than almost anything in the standard version of the album, something that brings me in my mind the good early days of Oasis!

Q MagazineAug 8, 2013Some of the more straightforward rockers show signs of fresh thinking. [Jul 2013, p.97]

Jul 29, 2013The fact that BE is patchy, and solid rather than surprising in its best spots, you have to put down to a failure of nerve or drive. It's not Different Gear, Still Shit, but it is nowhere near as exciting as it might have been.

UncutJul 29, 2013It's the album's deft balance between Sitek's freewheeling and darkly ambient aesthetic and the familiar sub-Beatles melodies that make BE a bold leap forward in the mould of Paul Weller's recent psych-inspired reinventions. [Jul 2013, p.71]
