Sobre el álbum
El esperado debut en solitario del icónico cantante es la obra que inaugura de forma triunfal la discografía de Liam Gallagher. "As You Were", de 2017, es mucho más que un álbum; es una espectacular resurrección, un regreso que superó todas las expectativas y que devolvió a una de las voces más importantes del rock británico al lugar que le corresponde.
Por esta razón, el disco fue un éxito de crítica y público. Tras el final de su anterior banda, Beady Eye, y en un momento de dudas sobre su carrera, Liam Gallagher se alió con productores y compositores de primer nivel, como Greg Kurstin, para crear una colección de canciones que recuperan la mejor esencia del britpop y el rock and roll.
De hecho, el sonido del álbum es un homenaje a sus propias raíces. Las canciones tienen la energía y la actitud de Oasis, pero con una producción moderna y potente. El single principal, "Wall of Glass", es una declaración de intenciones, un tema de rock and roll contundente y con la inconfundible voz de Liam en plena forma. Además, el disco contiene baladas como "For What It's Worth", que demuestran su faceta más vulnerable.
En definitiva, "As You Were" es el regreso perfecto. Es el sonido de un artista que se reencuentra con su mejor versión, un trabajo que no solo lo devolvió a la cima de las listas, sino que también lo conectó con una nueva generación de fans. Por lo tanto, es un álbum que reafirmó a Liam Gallagher como una de las últimas grandes estrellas del rock.

You would keep the secrets in ya' You've been keeping paraphernalia, oh I think you know Anyone can walk up to ya' Anyone can see right through your eyes All night And I don't mean to be unkind But I see what's in your mind And the stone you throw Will turn back in its path One day you'll shatter like a wall of glass Wall of glass Wall of glass One day you'll shatter like a wall of glass You believe in fascinations And designer vaccinations, love You get along You were sold a one direction I believe the resurrection's on And you were wrong And I don't mean to be unkind But I see what's in your mind And the stone you throw Will turn back in its path One day you'll shatter like a wall of glass Wall of glass Wall of glass One day you'll shatter like a wall of glass And I don't mean to be unkind But I see what's in your mind And the stones you throw Will turn back in its path One day you'll shatter like a wall of glass Wall of glass Wall of glass One day you'll shatter like a wall of glass - Bold3:59

Gonna take you off my list of to-dos Gonna sing my soul Shake off these blues 'Cause it's alright, it's alright now When I wake up and I Hear you say There's no love worth chasing yesterday 'Cause it's alright, it's alright now Yes I know I've been bold I didn't do what I was told Yes I know You soft soul You didn't do what I was told I ain't looking for you nine to five Sick of wasting my sweet, precious time 'Cause it's alright, it's alright now Yes I know I've been bold I didn't do what I was told Yes I know You soft soul You didn't do what I was told Lay it on me Lay it on me Lay it on me, yeah [x4] Yes I know I've been bold I didn't do what I was told Yes I know You soft soul You didn't do what I was told [x2] - Greedy Soul3:34
I'm going toe-to-toe With a greedy soul He's going down tonight Gonna be out a while She got a six six six I got my crucifix She's got a spinning head Likes the ungreatful Dead You're getting told You greedy soul You've been telling lies The slippery kind And it's a long way down When you're the wrong way round And now it's all too much I've got the Midas touch They're digging me for gold Well if the truth be told You got your kiss and tell I hope you go to hell I'm going rope-a-dope You think I'm giving up I got a rhino heart I Don't give a fuck, alright? You're getting told You greedy soul You've been telling lies The slippery kind And it's a long way down When you're the wrong way round And now it's all too much I got the Midas touch And it's a long way down Another lost and found And now it's all too much I got the Midas touch And it's a long way down When you're the wrong way round And now it's all too much I've got the Midas touch - Paper Crown3:28
Letra
When they gave you roses and believed your wild excuses You were sealing the deal Halfway down the road and ain't it Funny how the ghosts they fade in Suddenly appear You went too far Oh, woman, now you're feeling the fear Cause you've never been alone before, oh And the wolf is at the door, oh Now it's better if you hold your breath and don't look down At the pages of your paper crown You reached out for more and as the waves end At the shore you felt The fading of your will Choke back the metaphor The bottom of the ladder ask me If I love you still You went too far Oh, woman, now you're feeling the fear Cause you've never been alone before, oh And the wolf is at the door, oh And the hounds of hell, they won't lie down On the ashes of your paper crown In the bright light of the sun Will you make sure everyone could see your face? You make fun of everyone who falls And meantime they were saving you a place Cause you've never been alone before And the wolf is at the door, oh And the talking heads don't make a sound At the aging of your paper crown Better if you don't look down At the pages of your paper crown - For What It's Worth4:11
