i live in LA and my studio is hosting oasis' mixing sessions. my boss knows im a fan and invited me for a listen. the even made me empty my pockets before they played it! i couldnt help jotting down an few things to share tho! (tracklisting may not be exact - i was too excited to remember)
Boy with the Blues: Mostly acoustic, a rarity for this album. Written by Liam, but Gem will probably end up with a credit on the album as well. Quite similar to “The Meaning of Soul”. This will be the opening single.
Sweet and Sour: Written by Gem. One of the many tracks held back from the DBTT sessions. The outro actually features a Liam/Noel/Gem harmony.
To Love True Love: The first Noel song on the record, written and sung. Will most likely end up as a single. Includes the lyric, “If there’s a God, He will be crashing when you burn. But that’s to love true love, true love”. Very compelling string section to this one.
Stop The Clocks: The long awaited song comes to fruition. It’s much shorter than initially expected, clocking in a just over 4 minutes. The song is as good as advertised. The lyrics leaked previously are in fact correct. But it is strange to see 2 noel-sung songs at #3 and #4 on the tracklisting.
The Magic Can’t Be Right: Noel penned, Liam vocals. Steers the album away from the “big orchestra” sound for a moment and gets back to 5-piece rock and roll.
Guess I’m Out of Time: Written and sung by Liam. String-oriented and just flat out trippy. Within you / Without you – escque. Hypnotizing.
Evil Eye: The third Liam-penned track of the record. It’s a big, magical song that’s heavy on the organs, strings and horns. Opening lyric is a sneering, “Don’t give me that evil eye / It’s not very wise”. The song inspired the following Liam quote, "There's lots of cool parts, man. Really, we're throwing everything at it. It's gonna be cool, man."
A Ballad for Lovers: Andy’s only appearance as a songwriter on the record. The only other all-acoustic song on the record (with Boy with The Blues). Placed here, it almost works as an epilogue for the tidal wave that is “Evil Eye”. Liam vocals doubled over beautiful piano riffs and cascading acoustic guitars.
Let It Come Down Over Me: Another Noel written, Liam sungs tune. Was initially slated to be the final track on DBTT, until Sardy convinced Noel to re-work Let There Be Love.
I Want to Live in a Dream with my Record Machine: No surprises here. Noel written and sung, complete with 3 guitar solos. Liam actually appears on this track, you can make his voice in the chanting backing vocals on the outro.

I did not believe this till you said To Love True Love: The first Noel song on the record, written and sung. Will most likely end up as a single. Includes the lyric, “If there’s a God, He will be crashing when you burn.thats the song noel plays i lord dont slow me down when he is just singing with a guitar on stage.im excited either this will be great a gigantic disappointment.

I would have never expected a Liam/Noel/Gem harmony, or to ever hear any of the other band member's voice on the album beside Liam and Noel's. And would Liam singing backing vocals be the first time we've heard that since Fade Away (Warchild Version)?
Thanks a lot by the way man. Kind of disappointed there's only ten songs though.

They don't need to be in LA for the record to have gotten there before them...  |

i don't really believe it but it sounds good. Just weird that there only 2 real songs that we have not heard about (interview, ect) and that the album would start on an acoustic note.

As I've said before, I'll wait till I read about it in NME or their official site, but you do seem very reliable though. On the contrary, gefe here, makes a very valid point, mate.

L4E has a few sources we use to verify a story. Once the story is confirmed you'll see it in our newsroom. Sometimes even before NME almost always before the official site ...... |

"Stop The Clocks"
- i cant tell you enough how excited and anxious i am about to hear this one. i really hope it is good and really holds up to what noel has said about it.
"The Magic Can’t Be Right"
- what a title. not very oasisque in the traditional sense, not that its a problem.
a notion: oasis titles arent so epic anymore like they used to be, theyve become more down to earth.
I hope these songs are even better than the ones on DBTT - and that this album takes it to the next level in the right direction
