Drowned in Sound awarded the album 4/10 saying that ''By and large it radiates the stolid competence of a band on auto-pilot, with a few flashes of likeable enthusiasm.'' The ''Independent on Sunday'' gave it 2/5 stars. Simon Goddard, reviewing for ''Q'', gave the album four-out-of-five stars and described it as "the strongest record Liam's made" since ''(What's the Story) Morning Glory?'', while Garry Mulholland, in his three-star review for ''Uncut'', denied that the album "remotely matches" ''Definitely Maybe'', but felt the album was a step in the right direction. ''Mojo'' also gave the album four stars out of five, citing Gallagher's singing as a highlight.〔 ''The Fly'', however, remarked that the album was "dull", and a disappointment, while ''Scotland on Sunday'' added that Noel Gallagher is missed as a songwriting partner.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Album review: Beady Eye, Different Gear, Still Speeding )〕 The BBC and ''The Independent'' both commented that the album bests Oasis' later music, if not lacking innovation from the previous group,〔 while ''The Sun'' praised the album's simplicity and variety, citing "Bring the Light" as a surprising highlight, a comment that ''NME'' repeated.〔 The album is generally agreed to have surpassed expectations, with ''Mojo'' remarking that the album "shaped up better than many imagined," and ''Q'' saying that it "decimates all negative preconceptions." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Different Gear, Still Speeding」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
