The Courteeners’ Liam Fray has criticized Eminem over lyrics in a track from his latest album. ‘Unaccomodating’, references the Manchester Arena Terror Attack. Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Manchester, also criticized the US rapper.

Liam spoke to the BBC about the lyrics. He said he “feels sorry” that Eminem has effectively resorted to “shock tactics”.

Liam said: “It all just felt like an old comedian who can’t get on the telly anymore just saying something outrageous,”

He further added: “I just felt a bit sorry for him. I just felt like he’s jumping the shark a bit.”

Liam took to Twitter, posting a very short message aimed at the US rapper as seen below:

Eminem can get to fuck.

Eminem’s eleventh studio album, ‘Music To Be Murdered By’ was released on January 17. The Courteeners recently released the last single, ‘Hanging From Your Cloud’ from their new album, out on the same day.

They are now on course to challenge Eminem for the number one spot in the UK Album Charts this week, with ‘More. Again. Forever’.

NME responded positively to the sixth effort from the Middleton music makers.

It reads: “‘More. Again. Forever’ strikes a mature balance. It’s escapist in its sound but humane in its approach to the world. It’s experimental but familiar, and tests what the band are capable of while proving to be their more focussed work to date.”

The ten-track record from the band contains previously released singles ‘Heavy Jacket’, ‘Better Man’, as well as the titular song ‘More. Again. Forever.’

In an interview with NME, Liam opened up on the band’s sixth album, hailing it as ‘groove-based’ and ‘escapist’.

Fray added: “To us, the songs have just got to be explosive and blow you away live.”

He went on: “There are only a couple of delicate moments, which is why it’s a shame that the album’s not there yet for the tour. Maybe we’ll just have to do a few more gigs next year.”
