well, recording an album is not always easy boys... but as it looks the main problem seems to be the sound & production with it. so a few words.

there can be a lot of problems with a lot of stuff. it can be a matter of strings, mics, amps, cables, a matter of everything you use to record it. so with loads of equipment they have, getting a sound that fits every single song and the album in whole can be fucking annoying. especially if you decide to try new things...

then there is liam and noel. you know noel probably wants the best possible so he can say that the record is better than the one before. and if liam drinks just a little guess where it's probably going...

then there are andy and gem, who'll probably have something to say too as there are sure some tunes they've written. and the producer - if it really is rubin - will probably want to put his note on the record too, otherwise he wouldn't be doing it, i'm pretty sure.

now getting everything together so that it fits the expectations is a hard work to do, believe it. but it's their money and time. well it's our time too, but be patient and wait.
