If he's listened to BL's and Freebass' music, then criticises them, then that's OK.
But sometimes there are bloggers or whoever that sometimes come across as not properly listening to the music before making a judgement.
He might be spot on about FB singer... the last couple songs haven't had me running to listen that voice again.... but I'll hold off judgment until the album comes out.

Exactly this. Why are people feeling the need to criticise Gary when no one has heard any tracks featuring his singing yet?
Liam’s recently been connected to Freebass, the new bass-only combo formed by Peter Hook of New Order, Mani of the Stone Roses, and Andy Rourke of the Smiths. Although they’ve played and recorded with a number of famous friends on vocals — Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream, Billy Corgan, Tim Burgess of the Charlatans, Ian Brown of the Stone Roses and, yes, Liam Gallagher — they recently announced that their full-time vocalist will be Gary Briggs, former frontman of failed falsetto wuss-rockers Haven. Goodbye, Freebass. You were a fascinatingly terrible idea while you lasted.
The guy needs to get his facts right. All of the people in bold above were rumoured and yeah in some cases approached to do a track, but none of them ended up on either the upcoming EP or the album.

I hadn't realized who is singing what, just assumed it was Gary that sang on the the "released" music I've heard thus far. I'm sure the info has been mentioned and said, but I really have had little time to go through NOOL lately... again, I'll reserve judgment until I give the album a good go round.
