Why Me? Why Not.

Why Me? Why Not. continues Liam Gallagher’s work with Andrew Wyatt and Greg Kurstin. “Shockwave” opens with a forceful guitar-led arrangement, putting the grain of Gallagher’s voice directly in front of the band.

“Once” gives him a more reflective setting, with acoustic guitar and an expanding chorus. Across the album, the writing alternates between those outward-facing rock songs and a quieter attention to memory and change.
