“Imagine if we had done something left-field or really weird? We'd have got stoned to death": Liam Gallagher defends his album with John Squire for sounding like an album Liam Gallagher and John Squire would make

Liam Gallagher and John Squire looking moody.

"If we'd be putting out something that sounds like fucking Bjork, we'd have got fucking lynched."

Liam Gallagher is utterly unrepentant about the fact that his collaborative album with John Squire sounds pretty much like you'd expect an album made by Liam Gallagher and John Squire to sound. 

Currently sitting at number one on the UK album charts, the simply-titled Liam Gallagher John Squire album received generally positive reviews, with most commentators noting that the songwriting adheres closely to formulas that have served the pair's former bands, Oasis and The Stone Roses, well in the past. In a new interview with Q online, Gallagher says that this was the plan all along.
